Thing #6

I've gone a little crazy adding RSS feeds to my Google Reader. I decided to add a blog about photography to my list because, in my dreams, photography would be my next career (way down the road, of course.)  Actually, this blog was recommended by a former classmate Talking Tech.  The article I chose to write about was The Engagement Shoot and how it has become quite popular with couples who are planning their weddings. 

My daughter was married two years ago and it was quite a different experience from when I was married almost 30 years ago.  She has had professional photos taken at just about every turn. They had an Engagement Shoot, Pre-Wedding Shoot, During-Wedding Shoot, Post-Wedding Shoot, Pre-Baby Shoot, Post-Baby Shoot, and a New In-Laws and Baby Shoot. I really must get busy and practice my love of photography.  The article has numerous tips on how to make the e-shoot go without a hitch.  The author recommends the engagement shoot as a precursor to the actual wedding photos so that the couple will become comfortable with you, and with posing.  Other tips included in this article were related to the business end of being a professional wedding photographer.  Although my interest is mainly macro photography for fun, I'm looking forward to reading more of the tips that this feed will be submitting.

  1. That was an interesting post. My husband and I got married in Hawaii, so we did not have the traditional wedding. Now that we have our own daughter, I know that I am going to have to learn all these new trendy things. Regardless of what comes and goes, you can never go wrong with photos. I would love to see all of those that your daughter had taken.
