I have never done a “Bridal Session” until Kimberlee asked me to do one of her. I know all of you from the south are in shock right now. Bridal sessions are very popular in most states, but here in AZ we just do an engagement session and then do a few bridals the day of the wedding; however, I really like the idea of a bridal session for a couple of reasons.
1) Usually on the day of the wedding everything is going so fast and one of the first things that get’s cut is a lot of pictures of the bride. How sad. So a bridal session is a great way to get some really amazing pictures.
2) The bride spends so much time getting ready, finding her perfect dress, getting her hair and makeup flawless. I know for me personally I have never looked as good as I did on my wedding day, so having pictures of this time in your life is important.
Some people will do bridals before hand and others will do it after the wedding. Either way, be prepared to do things that you wouldn’t do on the day of the wedding. Be prepared to get some really fun and neat pictures.
I LOVE how Kimberlee’s bridals turned out. She is a stunning bride and everytime I take pictures of her I am in awe with how well she photographs. I worked on them all night last night and found some new favorites. Here are few of my favs.

I have been following your blog forever now, and I am an aspiring photographer. I am friends with the Robinson Family and found you through their pictures. You have had an amazing influence on me and my photography as I develop my style. Your photos are so great! I actually just got a Canon 30d, and I'm so excited for more than a point 'n shoot. I'm only 13 so I've been saving forever for that 30d! I am so excited. Anyways… just wanted to introduce myself and tell you that your photos are amazing! I have seen so many photographer's work, but I always come back to yours because I love the style. Amazing job, girl!!!

I haven't put a scratch in the surface of all my pictures, and the ones up there aren't great because they were taken on a Canon Powershot A590. I'm hoping to do more portraiture now that I have my 30d.
Thanks a million! You are so amazing!
