How do you get 4 grown men to want to take pictures and actually cooperate during the pictures?  Not a girlfriend, wife, mother, or child anywhere close all night and they were perfectly happy to do whatever I asked?  Craaaaaazy.  Must be their artistic nature.  The boys of Anchored Rose….Erick, Jimi, Brandon and Jeff. 

With Rachael being out having a baby, I decided it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a new second shooter around, and Will emailed me asking for some tips just about thesame time I decided that.  Never really worked with a man for a second shooter, but he did pretty good his first time out.  The following are some of his pictures.

I can’t believe it has almost been a year!

Thanks to Ross and Leslie for taking me to most exceptional places and playing my little games this morning!  Think we will be returning, just at sunset instead to spice it up a little, for her bridal portraits! 

while they changed clothes I snooped around a little.  Not too much to show you but check out this business card.  I should have taken a picture of the calendar on the back….1952.  There was old, awesome stuff everywhere!  Can’t wait to go back with their kids!!!!!  soon!!!!  please, please, please!!!!! 

See, cool stuff!  I could use those. 

and this just amazed me so here’s a picture of it.  I was so distracted by all the cool things around us all morning.   Seriously cannot wait to go back. 

I had just finished this album and I received an email from another bride that her folder was ready!  Yea!  Cuz I was stuck and had no albums to work on if she hadn’t finished her folder.  And that’s why they are out of order.  I have emailed everybody and I am just waiting to hear back now.  Except for that one bride.  Must be her lucky day to get ahead of everybody else like that! 

So, what’s next once you see the proofs of your album?  Let me know if you like it, let me know if you want to come in and look closer and make your 5 changes or less, that’s it.  If you like it the way it is, I can order it immediately.  This wedding album jumped 3 weddings because they finished their favorites folder before the others. 

Spring is in the air, but it is still a little chilly outside for some little cuties…but not for long.
