This birthday was a bit of a whirlwind. We decided to have a little pot-luck party over at our house and it was really hard to be a hostess. Harper seemed just a tad fussier and more needy during the party than usual but Owen seemed to have a great time. He kept saying all day "I want ma cake" or "I want to eat ma cake." Finally the time came when we sang the birthday song and he just kept lunging for the cake -- mouth first. Special thanks to Katrina of Sedona Bride who, stepped in like the great friend she is and shot some photos on my camera for me. It's so great to have a friend whom you can just hand the camera to and say, "can you shoot this?" (and KNOW they can handle it). Sometimes my life as a photojournalist is hard because you want to photograph everything but then you never get to participate! Yesterday I was "wearing" Harper in the Moby Wrap and it proved too hard to play photojournalist at the same time. Enjoy the photos of the kids. ~cameron~

They got tied the knot on Oct. 10, 2009 and Katrina Wallace and Andrew Mejia of Sedona Bride photographed their wedding. Kate wanted me to be a guest at her event and it turns out I was 9 months pregnant so it was best I enjoyed the time with my family. Jamelle was already booked too, so Kate asked "who should I hire for the photography?" Ah the question every bride must answer. Next thing out of her mouth, "I'm on a budget." Does this sound familiar? Well, I encouraged Kate to consider her budget, trim the fat, and make room for what she really wanted ie: prioritize. She knew she wanted great photography and would be really disappointed if she didn't have that sooo she didn't compromise on that. She knew she could get a location for free, and she knew she was an expert shopper and could find a gown for less (she got her dress at Neimen's in Phoenix for under $800). After that, Kate decided to have Thornager's do a BBQ to you style buffet, they constructed their own dance floor, etc. etc. Kate hired Kim Duncan of kD eventDesigns to style and 'figure the rest out.' Kim, is one of my favorite wedding vendors because she always goes above and beyond to make it all perfect for her clients -- she helped Kate with her budget and was able to make Kate's chic county fair theme come to life as you will see in the photos. Thanks Katrina for letting me feature your lovely work on my blog. If you don't already know, Katrina (sedona bride) remains one of my oldest and closest friends in the industry. We have grown our businesses together and I was so tickled that she was able to shoot Kate's event. She and Andrew knocked it out of the ballpark!! She is one of the TOP photographers in Arizona for sure and one of the finest in the country as well.

It was the weekend AFTER the enormous snow storm we had up here in Northern Arizona. I shoveled for an hour to carve a space wide enough to back my car out of our driveway--we received four feet of snow in three days. It was the third largest storm in Flagstaff's history! Sedona also received some snow and it was absolutely breathtaking on the red rocks. These guys were great sports and ventured out into the snowy weather to get some great images. We did a "first look" before the ceremony because I was worried about the weather and wanted to be sure we had enough light and time to capture some great portraits... Jaron and Amanda had to move their ceremony indoors at L'Auberge but as you can see, it was still lovely. The happy couple just got back from New Zealand on their honeymoon. ::click here:: to view their slideshow~Cameron~

Sometimes I'm a little weary of "studio" portraits because I think it can be hard for families to really shine. No so in this case. They were ready and willing and we came up with some great stuff. Thanks Michelle for a great time. ~jamelle~

She recently started a side business (she's an archeologist by trade) called "Anne's Alterations." She can do just about any alternation you can think of-- so far (and this is just for me) she's cut and doubled my diaper inserts, fixed a leather motorcycle jacket zipper, elongated the sleeves of a pea coat for Matt, hemmed my grandmother's plaid shift dress, hemmed my sister's wedding dress, sewed some curtains for our wedding show booth, and made Owen a yoda costume. Not to mention she made her own wedding dress into two dresses by making her train detachable. It was awesome because she got two looks out of one dress. Anne is one of the only seamstresses in town willing to do wedding alternations and she's quite good at them. If you know me and my rants about wedding dresses, then you already know this rule: Get any wedding dress you want at any price, just DO NOT try to save money on the alterations... a dress that fits makes for a happy bride. Let's face it in our culture women are not used to wearing dresses and certainly not strapless gowns. It's important that the on the occasion where you DO wear a gown, and pay to have your photograph taken in it, make sure it fits well. The times I've had a bride who hated her wedding dress and how it fit her, she hated herself in the photos, which is a shame.

This blog is just what the tagline says "Creative. Thrifty. Sane." Listen out there, if you have the money, and want to spend it on a dream wedding (no pun intended) go for it. If you would rather put a down payment on a house that is your prerogative, but what I like to stress to people is that hiring a great photographer is worth it's weight in gold--no matter how small your event. Great photos are always a worth the investment. In Dreamlyn's case she called us within 4-6 weeks of her Sedona elopement, we were available and thus able to quote her elopement pricing. Please CALL (or use the contact link on our site) about elopement potentials as we have lots of dates available in the next 4-6 weeks. 928-225-2511.

After we shot this e-session Brooke just HAD to have us shoot her San Diego wedding and we were flattered. Matt, Owen, Harper--6 weeks old--, my sister Kate and her husband, Norm loaded up a van and drove to CA. You see, Pat is my cousin, and so it was also a family wedding. NO PRESSURE, EH? It was actually a really fun trip and New Years too! Jamelle and her family made a trip out of it as well and of course Jamelle and I shot it together. I had fun getting "back in the saddle," I'm technically STILL on maternity leave here. I was in awe of the amazing FIRST California Mission church, the lovely California light and Brooke's never-ending energy. Don't you love her dress? The veil was her grandmother's! A few side notes: Brooke is a performer, a former Charger Girl and all around "hair-flipping-dancing-maniac." I hope her tenacity comes though in these photos. Pat has incredible guy-friends that he's known since high school and they are still very tight. The combination made for a good party! Brooke and Pat have made it through many adventures in their relationship already and their love continues to carry them through it all. I wish them a lifetime of happiness and I hope the picture girl loves her pictures. Click here to view the sideshow.
