We just some exciting news, our sweet bride Emily Ferarri was chosen by Real Weddings published by Sierra Styles Magazine to be one of 3 brides chosen that get to dress up for a photoshoot. which will don the cover of their summer fall 2009 issue (the same issue that Ben and Amanda will be in as well!) as an editorial feature on each of them. After that one of the 3 girls will be chosen to be on the cover of the following issue. We are so excited for both Ben and Amanda and Emily!!! Too bad they dont have an issue for grooms because TJ would be AWESOME too! This is the same magazine that featured our couples Dane and Stephanie as well as Paco and Jenae, last year.

A post about Brian our son who turns 21 in a couple of months. We are are extremely proud of him. Like most kids he has had his challenges with being shy. Something he has really worked through this past year 2008-09. even though that has been a challenge for him he continued to make excellent grades in school and has an amazing mind for language and writing. He loves to cook and has started his own sideline of photography from weddings to seniors and fashion/funky. He has a very creative side which we have begun to really see come forth.. He has been learning more of the business end of things to round out his own business. His passion for photography has grown the last 3 years to a place where if he wanted to make photography his profession he certainly has the foundation, passion, skill and drive for it.

These are older pictures of him taken almost 3 years ago.He will hate that I  posted them but I love them. It captures his sweetness and as his mother this is how I see him. I’ll post some more recent ones of him later…these were taken with an old  rebel camera SOOC (straight out of the camera) without any processing…so they arent up to our normal standards for a job. Just a day out with our old cameras and just having fun…I ran across them tonight and decided to share them and get a little personal with our blog this week.

If you are local and want a senior session or just a photosession done give him a shout…he’d love to hear from you. brian@lydellphoto.com

      

I am finding that many of our friends have gone over to Facebook and Twitter. I finally checked it out and wow it is a quick and easy way to communicate. I love the spontaneity, the pace, and the quirky fun to just throw stuff out there when you only have 5 minutes. It sure works when you are busy…lol I also like how it grabs my Xanga posts and posts them on there too! That is really cool because it does it automatically. Another timesaver! In this day and age anything that is a timesaver is a thing to treasure! I’ve been checking both of them out for the last couple of months and I have to say I am hooked. I still love and will continue to nurture our Xanga because it is a place to really come and kick the tires while looking for a photographer that fits your style or just come and say Hi and make a friend.
