I met my friend Jarrett Gaza at Marathon Village this morning. He was shooting a new Christian artist who is releasing her first CD.

You'd think I would be there with Jarrett to shoot the new artist... but I had a secret plan... to shoot someone else who was going to attend Jarrett's session... established artist Misty Freeman.

When I photographed Mary Elizabeth Long's wedding earlier this year, Misty sang at the wedding. Aside from being a great singer, I could tell that she would be fantastic to photograph. I didn't want to be "the creepy guy" and walk up to her at the wedding to ask if I could take pictures of her.

So, instead, I was "the creepy guy" this morning! Jarrett had told me that Misty was going to be at his session this morning so I took my gear and was there waiting for them when they arrived. Misty looked great (Jarrett had told her that he might take a few pictures of her during the day). I asked her if I could take some pictures of her while Jarrett was shooting her friend, Nichole. Misty graciously agreed.

Below, you'll find some of my pics from this morning's impromptu photo session.

I had the great pleasure of helping my friend Vince McVay shoot Brad and Casey's wedding on Saturday!

Vince and I had a great time shooting together, as always. It's too bad for me that he moved to Michigan.

Remember that I shot Vince and Kendra's wedding back in December? Well, Brad is Kendra's brother! So there were a number of people that I photographed on Saturday that I'd met before.

I'm putting some of my favorite shots from the wedding here on my blog.

Check out Vince's Blog in the next couple of days when he gets a chance to post some of his own...

I've been neglecting my blog. Sorry!

Tomorrow I'm helping my friend Vince McVay shoot a wedding in Nashville. I've been busy working on computer stuff lately and haven't been shooting very much. I miss the pressure and the challenge of getting great shots while the clock is ticking! Looking forward to hanging out with Vince tomorrow while attending another great wedding.

Check back on Monday for some sample pics from tomorrow's wedding...
