So last night at 9:45 p.m. I officially decided to hop in the car with two AWESOME photographer firends (Kelly Segre & Jim Minics) and drive to New Orleans... for Pictage's Partnercon. I have been wanting to go to this conference for years... and when this opportunity arose I had to go.
Not only will I be in the midst of thousands of fellow photographers learning about the latest in greatest... but Kelly, has set up an amazing photo shoot in the french quarter that I will be a part of. Can't wait to share all the pics and all the new ideas!!
YEAH!! off for a 30 hour car ride.... yikes! At least they have an outlet in their car and I'll have plenty of time for editing... and shooting out the window!
Along with this amazing photography opportunity I'm also going to be able to explore a city I've never been to.. .AND see friends I haven't seen in YEARS!!
Keep an eye out for pics to come.
I hope this blog inspires a little spontaneity in your life... I sure am testing mine!!!
Have a wonderful weekend... Happy Halloween!!
Love,
A
BTW... I'll still be reachable by phone and email (it's not like I'm heading to Macedonia or anything ;-)
OH MY GOODNESS... this was by far the coolest shoot I have ever done... in the ocean (not just them... Me too!)... in Mexico ... the day after an AMAZING wedding...
Elizabeth & Will were splashing around... having fun... loving on each other..and not caring about a thing in the world except for having fun and being in the moment... and these pics can definitely show it.
Elizabeth and I had been talking about this shoot for months... Will, I think, may have been a little hesitant at first (and he wasn't even wearing the dress)... but the minute the volleyball court came into play... he was all about it... he just kept asking... "can I throw her in yet... can I throw her in yet ..."
SO MUCH FUN... man I love my job!!!
Take a look...
I love these pictures! And I love that our Trash the Dress photo shoot made it on your website before our actual wedding photos...Hahahaahahaa! That's why we love you =) xoxo
(09.27.09 @ 09:22 PM)These photos are incredible! And so fun! You captured such a beautiful couple so perfectly!
(09.29.09 @ 06:22 PM)These are the best pictures ever! So natural, with the fun and love coming through each one. I'm happy the volleyball shot was included. It says so much. I wish we could have that week all over again.
(09.29.09 @ 06:32 PM)Andrejka, you are amazing! You are an artist and a master of photography! I can't get enough of looking at the pictures! Elizabeth and WIll are an awsome couple, no doubt, both of them are beautiful, inside and out, and clearly in love... once again, you've captured their beauty and their love for one another so very well ... they are so much fun! Each picture you take tells a beautiful story... Thank you for the great memories... we'll have your awesome pictrues to enjoy and share for years to come... xoxox
I love you, I miss you,
Elena

So a few weeks ago I went to Cincinnati to do an engagement shoot with Laura & Dale who will be getting married on Mackinac in a few weeks. I had a BLAST... I've decided one of my favorite things to do is engagement shoots... ESPECIALLY in my couple's hometowns... how neat to see a piece of their life... and a taste of the local cuisine (thanks again for the Skyline Chili)...
The three of us went all over Cinci. nad I must admit... what a great place.. .a friend once described it as a "Little Big Town".. so right.... Its a city with a small town feel.
Laura & Dale... I had so much fun with you guys... I can't wait till the wedding in a few weeks!!
Best,
A
I thought... HECK, this is the perfect time to be a fudgie and show Janey the island. We biked all around, visited the Pink Pony, and EVEN ate fudge (still couldn't bring my self to buy a whole half pound (by the way do you have any idea how many calories are in a half pound of fudge.... you REALLY don't want to know).
Now do you know what the coolest thing was... I've been photographing the island for years (collecting for my book that will hopefully be put together after this upcoming winter ;)... BUT having another photo pro with me, TOTALLY inspired me to see the island in a different way.
May you all be inspired by those around you!!
Love,
A
