My job and Life lessons : Patterson 60th Wedding Anniversary

Before we left town Friday, I had the pleasure of photographing Wanda + Pat for
their 60th Wedding Anniversary. Wanda and I have been trying for nearly 4 weeks
to do this session, but we kept getting rained out. We finally got just the perfect day
to celebrate this special moment in their lives. It was truly an honor to do this session.
By the time it was all over with, I felt like I had a new set of grandparents ;)

This is probably one of my favorite sessions to date. I felt so good after leaving the nursing
home. I think it is so amazing that through photographing different people, different families,
different ages and moments... that I learn so much! Everyday I love doing this more and more.

Here are my favorites and if this set of sweet images doesn't almost make you cry I will
be shocked. It is THAT sweet ;)

I was so impressed with the details that Wanda thought of.

Great Friends. Montauk State Park. Amazing Families

We had such a great time this weekend. I had some sessions scheduled in Salem, MO
so we decided to just make a weekend of it. Our friends, Matt & Jessi and Andrew
came with and we rented a condo. The guys kayaked the Current River while Jessi
and I hung around the area and later did the sessions. The weather was perfect, the
families were perfect! It was great. Here are just a couple for tonight....

Random Wednesday

Yet another cloudy, overcast day... When the sun does actually come out, it
kinda hurts my eyes. I really hope that we get some sunny days soon though.
I have had to reschedule several shoots b/c of all the rain.
I guess all of the rain might make for a really pretty fall though so I can deal
with it!

Last weekend, the 3 of us went on a quick little camping trip.
It is hard trying to balance business x 2, house, mom, wife ect...
So we decided that we could squeeze in a quick little mini vac.

Laykin loved it! We left early Friday afternoon and were home by early
afternoon on Saturday so it was like we almost still had the whole weekend.

Here are some images from the trip to Blanchard:
If you have never been, you MUST go! Danelle: did you ever go last year?? huh??? :)
And even if you have been, go again. It's close, fun, educational and super cheap.
10.00 per adult and 5.00 per child over 5 (under 5 is free)
You can't hardly go to a movie for that!

Also I just want to thank everyone who took the time to go and submit me for
the Rangefinder Publication. I truly appreciate it!!!




I really want to go see a movie this weekend. A good ol' chick flick sounds great!
Any suggestions? Anyone want to go? heehee





I will be in Missouri this weekend to shoot some great families. Not like that guys! :)
I am really looking forward to it as well as visiting Montauk State Park again.
Lots of pictures to come from that!

Also, if you live out of town... I travel. Just get some friends together, you need at
least 3 to book! But I would love to come and visit your town.
Email me for out of town package options. jamie@lifeasaphoto.com





Well, that is all the randomness that I have time for this week!
Need to get back to work now. Thank you everyone for hanging around here ;)

Have a great Wednesday~
