My Favorite Photo – October

In looking back at this busy and exhilarating month, I can’t help but think how close the end of the year is and how exciting a year it’s been for me and my business. I’m really looking forward to next year and have already begun booking wedding dates for next year (so don’t wait!)

This month was a really tough month to choose a favorite photo, since I spent so much time photographing weddings (three of them!) and numerous portrait sessions. There was a ton to choose from, and so with some pain and wobbling back and forth, I finally settled on this image as my October favorite:

This was a totally and completely candid moment between Annie, my Oct. 17 bride, and her two flower girls. It was a quiet moment in the bride room, with everyone besides Annie running around taking care of last-minute details, but instead of joining them, Annie spent time talking to her flower girls, letting them snuggle up and enjoy being the center of attention. I loved the warm light coming in through the window and Annie’s gracious touch with the little girls. I’m a sucker for a candid moment, that’s for sure!

Technical info: I shot this photo with my Canon 50D and my 50mm f/1.4 lens at f/1.4, shutter speed 1/250, ISO 500.
