Baby Love

Wednesday, February 1, 2012 Posted in Baby, Florida, Panama City, Portrait Session

Newborns are not my forte in the photography department. I guess it is lack of patience with them and I tend not to force mamas into a session before they are ready and sometimes that means we miss the 10 day newborn window when they stay asleep (nice run-on sentence). That means I only do newborns for my friends. I love the ages after newborn and I think 6 months is my favorite.

So I say all of this to introduce the newest member of the Coastal Beach Weddings mini-crew. Rebekkah and I have been working together for almost two years now and it is so wonderful to see her family grow. Our kids are similar in age so it will be neat to watch them grow up together. Her oldest daughter and my Gillian love to be together so I am sure our little boys will as well.

You gotta love a cross eyed baby. Poor things stare at my camera and go cross eyed every time. Love it. Big sister is so proud of her little brother.

Year In Review: Wedding Couples

Friday, December 30, 2011 Posted in Photography

My last review from my weddings…the couples.

They really are what make the pictures wonderful. Without their personalities I wouldn’t have the images I have now. PS You don’t have to be a “personality” to make a picture work. Those shy couples have their own perfect pictures from their amazing day. I like all personalities….yes even the awkward smilers.

I end with my brother and my new sister. What a blessing to have her in our family and to end a great year with their wedding.

Year in Review: Wedding Ceremony

Thursday, December 29, 2011 Posted in Photography

Onward with the review. This is so much fun for me. I hope you aren’t too bored by it.

Next up is the ceremony. Can’t have a wedding day without a ceremony. The majority of my weddings were on the beach but I did have a couple of church weddings this year that were a nice change.

Year in Review: Weddings

Thursday, December 29, 2011 Posted in Photography

So it is a thing on most photography blogs to have a year in review. For me, I like to look back and see how I have evolved or what has worked consistently.

2011 brought consistency for sure to my brand. I have perfected the Adria Peaden glow that I like to get out of my weddings even with a cloudy day. Our white sandy beaches provide such a wonderful natural reflector that I like to make the bride and groom glow on their wedding day. I have tried poses, put some down as failures and stumbled upon pictures that were genius. It has been trials and errors that I relish as it makes me better. All of my brides and grooms were wonderful this year and put up with my whacky giggly nature. They make the picture happen just as much as I do. Thanks to all the Adria Peaden couples, you made 2011 amazing.

This is going to be long but I am enjoying this walk through last year. The posts will be split up into details, ceremony and bride and groom and then I will also have one devoted to my families. There is so much to look back on. It has been a really wonderful year and I can’t wait to see 2012.

First up, details.

Merry Christmas

Friday, December 23, 2011 Posted in Personal

I just wanted to send a quick Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I probably won’t be blogging much over the next month or so. I will be relaxing and focusing on yarns and cooking. Visit me on adriapeaden.com/PeadenParty to keep up with my home life until the camera comes out again.

See ya in 2012
