NEW BLOG

After struggling with posting some photos a few weeks ago, I decided to go with a new blogging service. Hopefully easier posting will entice me to get into the habit of regularly posting. So for anyone that has this address (Melissa probably just you. hehe) please change to
http://tinajeanphoto.wordpress.com/
Thank you for your interest!

Carolyn Trash The Dress 10/21/07

A group of female photographers, Females in Focus, (go to http://digcam.meetup.com/157/ for more about our group) got together this past Sunday for a Trash Bash! We could not have asked for a better late October day! The weather was perfect, blue skies, lots of sunshine, and very warm. And although the water was a little cold it was not unbearable and no one had seemed to mind, it was all for the sake of great photos-oh just watch out for the prickly burrs when barefoot.

It was great to be surrounded by such great photographers and beautiful models. I begun my day photographing Carolyn and since there where so many I have just included her in this post, I will try to post some of Melissa in a following post. Thank you so much to both girls, they were amazing. And thank you to Gina of Imaginative Studios for forming the group and planning the wonderful event. Here are my favorites of Carolyn from the day (there are also a couple more I am holding and editing for the launch of my new site)

As we walked down to the beach we stopped on the steps...



Carolyn stops to fix her boots before hitting the sand...



It sure was windy, but we never needed a wind fan for a sexy hair blowing in the wind look...



Testing the chilly waters, and slowly getting in deeper, once Carolyn was in it was hard to get her out of the water, even with shivers she wanted to get back in. She is truly a top model, and she will make a beautiful bride!










And in the end we were all wet and covered in sand-well at least I was, I don't think I realized I would trash my jeans in the process. :) Thank you to all the other photographers for the great experience and once again thank you to the models Melissa and Carolyn you two were so beautiful and the best models a photographer could ask for!

I'm Back

...or only just begun. Okay so I have many blogs for you all, and through out the next week I will try to catch everyone up on what I have been doing in the last few weeks or so.

There has been a couple engagement shoots, a couple trash the dress sessions and some newspaper assignments including a fatal car accident on my street (did not know the people involved).

I am also putting the finishing touches on my new wedding website, tinajeanweddings.com and hope to have the official launch November 1st. I may save some of the images from the shoots for the launch but I will give you a preview of each shoot.

While I wait until "my editor" to get home and help me narrow down the last shoot so its not 30 image long post here's a sneak peek from yesterday's Trash the Dress. (Oh I am working backwards on the blog, so engagement shoots are coming, I promise-I know Eric and Jenny got a sneak peek already)
