Amberlee's blog

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am in Oklahoma patiently awaiting the birth of my nephew! :) Ok so maybe the better word is excitedly awaiting... ha ha :) I may be a little hard to reach on the travel days (We drove out, I'm flying back to WV, flying back to OK, and then driving back) but will be in contact with everyone as soon as I can!
Thanks so much for the patience! :) Pictures of my nephew will be posted soon!! :)
Amberlee!

Everytime I get an email or call for newborn photos I get soooooooo excited!  I've had 4 newborns in the past month and I'm tring to  finish up preperations to go to Oklahoma to take photos of my sister-in-law and brothers baby when he hopefully arrives next week!  He is going to be one super photographed baby in the first few days of his life!  I can't wait to be an aunt again!!!!!!

Mr. R was 10 days old for his photoshoot!  He did such a great job and was such a beautiful model!  It did take us a little while to wear him out enough to get him to sleep, but once he was snoozing we were able to move him all around.   Look at how perfect! :)

Now that I'm photographing full time I thought that I would have more time to blog...  I think I have been twice as busy!  :)  I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it!  I've gotten some pretty awesome shots lately and have been going crazy thinking how many I need to get up here!  It's so easy just to load some previews on my Facebook Page, this has gotten pretty neglected... 

Back to blogging! 

This past weekend I went back to my hometown to photograph 4 sessions in 3 days!  The first one was of some of my friends and probably the funniest couples I know!  I did their engagement session a few months ago and was super sad I couldn't shoot their wedding due to already having one booked on their date.    When I was doing their engagement photos, Matt says he wanted to rope Tonya in her wedding dress...  Of course I said I'll be back and I am holding you to it!  :)  We had so much fun!  They even got to see me dance when a mouse ran up my pants leg...

OMGoodness my blog has been neglected! I have good reason though! In less than 2 months I have been to Jamaica, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and all over the state of West Virginia! I've shot 5 weddings, 1 day after, 2 engagements, 1 senior, 1 corporate, 1 baby, 1 set of portraits, and taught a jewelry class all while I was a full time goldsmith!

I am excited to now say I am a full time photographer! I have worked really hard to get to where I am now and am really excited to see what the future holds for me! I'm going to really miss goldsmithing, but am happy that I have a little more time to shoot and edit! I am still super busy with wedding season in full bloom and I have a bunch of great shoots lined up (including one in upstate New York, one in Long Island and New York City, and a possible one in Hawaii!!) Did I mention I have the best clients and job in the entire world?!?!?!?

Oh I am sooo behind on blogging!!!! Im going to work on getting caught up tonight! I hope you enjoy!! Now on to the beautiful wedding of Keri & Wes! The started off with a few sprinkles here and there but then turned out to be such gorgeous afternoon!

A few more from the wedding of Alison & Pete mostly from the sunrise shoot :)  Enjoy!

Alison & Pete were married at the beautiful Iberostar Grand in Montego Bay, Jamaica, and decided to take me with them! 

That is an awesome way to kick off wedding season, not to mention they were both so nice!!!!    It was such an amazing couple of days an every detail was perfect!  However the evening of the wedding the sky opened up and it started raining.  I know a lot of other brides would have been so upset and would have totally freaked out!  Alison was so calm and only thing she was worried about were how her guests were doing and if they had food!  She is one of the most giving people I've ever met!   She was just soooooo extreamely happy to marry Pete I don't think anything could have ruined the day! 

I just want to congratulate Alison & Pete and thank them sooooooooo much for choosing me to be there with them, their family, and friends on their amazing wedding day!  The thousands of photos (new record for a wedding!) turned out great and I can't wait for you to see them!   Now on to the first  of atleast two very large previews!  (You may want to grab a redstrip or two :) )   There are so many photos for the blog that they aren't completly in order!  Hope you enjoy them anyways!  On to the ones from the wedding day!

I will be leaving to shoot a wedding in Jamaica April 14th and won't return until the evening of April 22nd. I will be returning e-mails and phone calls once I return. Thanks for the understanding and patience! Did I mention I'm Shooting a wedding in JAMAICA????I am soooooooo excited! I can't wait to get the photos up on the blog! :)

Amber & Jason March 13, 2010

I had the pleasure to shoot one of my really great friends wedding a couple of weekends ago!  ( I'm slacking on my blog lately, but I definitely haven't been slacking in the photo taking!  Lots of new blogs soon!)

Amber and I have been friends since we were 7 years old!  We used to go "up on the hill" and ride bikes together almost everyday when we were little!  :)  ha ha She was even a bridesmaid in my wedding!  Now that I live in Morgantown I barely get to see her any more, so it was very nice spending the weekend with her and her new hubby and photographing their nuptials!   Jason is such a great match for her and I seriously couldn't be any happier for both of them!
