  • My Girl Vikki

    Yesterday while I was at Rachel and Mark’s wedding, my girl Vikki (associate photographer really) went to Mindi’s bridal shower at the Country Club.  She took the pictures, edited the pictures, and then she made this fabulous collage so I could blog about it!  Wow, can’t wait to put this girl to work more!  We also took Mindi’s bridal portraits this week and I will try to post some of those before the boys wake up from their naps.

    Now more about Vikki.  She is awesome!  I met her while working at the local penitentiary (isn’t that where all good photographer duos meet?).  I was the Warden’s Secretary (or as I call it the prison hostess) and she was (still is, but not for long) the Chief of Classification.  For those of you who are not versed in prison lingo, she is the one who knows more about the penitentiary than anyone else alive.  She is a trained observer and usually has everybody at weddings figured out before the I Do’s even take place.   Anyway, she was fascinated with my, then part time, business and wanted a camera to play around with, so John (her wonderful husband) bought her a camera for her birthday and she started following me around.  I could tell from the first pictures she took, she had a good eye (You can have great technical ability with cameras, but guess what?  You can’t take great pictures without a great eye for photography and composition, atleast that is what my teacher told me!  Thanks DL.)  Well, the rest is history.  She is now doing weddings for me and not always just my sidekick and entertainer!  I miss her tagging along with me all the time, but am very pleased that we can do more weddings and give more couples the documentary coverage that so many are looking for in today’s wedding market. 

    Thank you Vikki for doing such an awesome job!
