more from the Shoot Day

Here's the other half of my shots - these being of the other model, Kristin. For some reason, I have WAY more natural light shots of her vs. the off-camera lighting on Jessica. Nevertheless, here they are...I can't wait to go to another one of these events!

Shoot Day!

XW1L0162

Today I headed to the River Market to participate in a shoot day with Kelley Walker-Chance of Kelley Photo and Josh Solar. There were about 16 of us participating and we went out and worked with two models in natural and off-camera lighting. I have had a super hectic week and took some time out to pull a few of one of our models, Jessica. She had it going on!

New SDP identity

Ever since I decided to sit down and file paperwork to become Sarah Dickerson Photography, LLC, I've been struggling with my identity. No, not my PERSONAL identity...the business identity. I'm a graphic designer by education and a marketer by profession...so creating collateral and marketing myself is second nature. I have been STRUGGLING with a logo though...I've not been happy with anything I've done. The business grew in 2008 way more than I ever thought too - many more shooting opportunities than I ever thought I'd had - so I kind of had to band-aid my marketing and promotion as I went along. Now, as I have two weddings behind me, have my first horse show of the season in two weeks then kick into full swing, I'm more organized.

Here's the new SDP logo. Below are business cards for my two distinct ventures - my "people" photography and my equine photography. PLEASE..let me know what you think!

The website remodel and expansion is coming along VERY well and about all that is left is to set up the galleries for the equine portion - I really have just a bunch of random photos thrown in as placeholders and not necessarily the ones I'd choose for portfolio representation.

Here we are:

soooooo excited!

Tomorrow afternoon, I'm going on a shoot day with two of my favorite local photographers (bet they didn't know they had a stalker!), Kelley Walker-Chance of Kelley Photo and Josh Solar.

We'll be wandering around the River Market area and doing some fun shooting with a few models and playing around with off-camera lighting. Something I love and want to learn more about.

I'll post my pics here after we are done! I can't wait!

Christina + Charlie

Christina and Charlie were married on Valentine's Day. This wedding was particularly fun for me because Christina is one of my dearest friends. Of course, with that comes a lot of pressure! This was the longest day I've ever shot - a solid 12 hours. With that came over 1500 images! My husband Jim was a huge help in assisting with equipment and even second shooting when I needed it. Below are the candids from before the ceremony. Later this week I'll have some ceremony and reception shots up. Congrats, guys! As usual, click on the photos to see larger images.
