More Photos Of Kadie!!!

And one of Kadie and ME!

Kadie

Last Saturday Jay and I took Kadie to the park down by the river to take some pictures. I have a few edited, and thought I should put them up for you all to take a look at. Jay shot most of these in this particular post.

Loose the Strapless Wedding Dress

This is a funny but true article. She discribes that strapless shimmy so well! :)

Quote:
Wedding photographers gripe about strapless gowns because they look best shot from straight ahead, which is problematic, as the bride is constantly moving. "Strapless gowns should be outlawed,'' declares Meg Smith of Napa, one of the Bay Area's most sought-after wedding photographers (http://www.megsmith.com)/. "Because even the dresses by the best designers often do not fit properly. They're either too big and the bodice is like a shelf sticking out inches away from the body, or they're too tight and you get that extra layer of flesh just bulging out.'' Then there's all that readjusting. "The brides do this thing where they grab the top of the dress with their thumbs, pull it up and then do this hip shaking thing,'' Smith says. This activity does not a good picture make. And besides, she continues, "strapless gowns are boring.'' Through her lens, Smith says she'd rather see a dress with a beautiful sash or intricate lace or embroidery. "A strapless gown is not very playful, individual or different.''

Michelle and Christian

One of Studio D's September wedding couples. Michelle and Christian were a lot of fun to photograph. We used all of downtown as our studio.















Can't wait to work with this couple again!

Demetra - Getting Ready

I haven't finished editing my work from this wedding yet, but I had to share these with you because I just loved them.

The Cave

Molly took this photo on a recent hike to some local caves. The light was just perfect that morning.

Night Photography

During the last few months we took a couple film photography classes at school. During the course of that class, we learned something about night photography, and Molly has become interested in this subject. Here is some of her recent work.









A night self portrait of Molly and Jay Maris. This was taken as our one year anniversary photo. The idea was inspired by the photos taken in the movie "A Lot Like Love."

Vision

Jay did this special editing to a photo with Kadie's eyes just for fun.

Colin and Kadie

From a shoot of Colin and his girlfriend Kadie. Colin and Kadie have given copies of these photos as gifts to just about everyone in their families, and they have all loved them.

Jessi and Ben

Jessi and Ben recently got engaged. I don't know that they have set a date yet, but aren't they cute together?!

Jessi Senior Shoot

Photo shoot from this past fall. Now, she and her boyfriend Ben are getting married...I am looking forward to taking pictures at their wedding.

Godson

Photographs of Jay's godson, William. He is such a cutie.

Whitehouse Wedding

Just wanted to post this photo here because I love this photo of Jon and Mary. They look SO happy. Jay took this at their wedding last November and then edited it when we came home from Louisiana. Mary is really into the whole black and white with a little color type of photographs.




...and some more wedding photos from Jon and Mary's wedding.
