To be little again – San Diego Photographer

Posted on October 23, 2009

Ahhh…to be two again. This picture says so much. This is my good friend’s little girl. She spends most of her little life at the beach. This image captures the sweetness, determination and adorable nature of a two year old. Not much else to post beyond that, just wanted to give the day the “aaaaawwwwww” factor. You have to admire the determination, her tongue must give her more power. Here is little Ellie.

Blushing Bride-To-Be ~ Scottsdale Wedding Photographer

Posted on October 18, 2009

This beautiful bride-to-be is only a few weeks away from her California wedding. You may remember her from my engagement post a few weeks ago. Jennifer and Bryan will be married at the New Port Temple on November 7th. I am so excited and gearing up to make the trip for the wedding. I will certainly be posting images from their wedding!

She had her dress built up on top and it turned out so beautiful. In fact the dress was finished the same morning as our shoot. She loves the back of her dress and so I did make sure to focus some shots on the fall of the dress. Linda was there to style her beautiful. I am just in love with the details of her dress and the fall of the gather. Soooo pretty.What you can’t see in these shots are the massive amounts of mosquitoes that ate us up all day!

Oh yes and as promised, I tested out the tilt shift 45mm lense. It was sort of hit and miss as you can not really tell the exact turn out of the shot in camera. Once I unloaded the shots I did find a few I loved, and I ton that were less than great. I included one that I was really happy with. Enjoy.

It’s baby time again! – Phoenix Newborn Photographer

Posted on October 17, 2009

Okay so I have a backlog of models and a bride to share…but you have to see little Max. I went to high school with his Momma and she found me through, where else…Facebook. We had been talking about her session for months. He is just barely 10 days old and such a sweet little guy. I know that I have a baby in a hat picture already this month, but does it really get old? These little hats are so dang cute. (Thank you Jackie).

Here’s two pictures of little Max. I would post more but I am currently giving up valuable movie/cuddle time with my hubby to post this much! Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

More Model Ports! – Phoenix Fashion Photographer

Posted on October 14, 2009

Yep…they come in waves. Model portfolios are my favorite (next to bridal fashion and chubby babies). They are fun and I really enjoy working with models. Last week I shot with Jaman, one of the seasoned girls. This week I worked with Morgan from SIM Agency. She has been modeling for two years now and has just drastically changed her hair from blonde to brunette. LOVE IT! Her are two shots from our session today downtown.  (Oh and please give a golf clap to me. I am so trying to work with studio lighting. It’s a process people, don’t be too harsh.) First shot is studio and second is natural light. Comparison is that the natural light ones have more grain, but I still favor the feel of natural light. Although she does look quite stunning. Oh and this time I will give a high five to Pamela, she is a stylist I have worked with before as a photographer and a model. You know my heart is loyal to Linda…but I think Pamela did a beautiful job today.

I am up my eyeballs in shoots this week. I will try to keep you posted on all the fun stuff. Hope you are all enjoying fall break. We just returned from a little “vaca” with the family. Well I worked and Brendan did manual labor for my parents. So maybe only the kids had the vacation. Now back to work! (I did finally clean my sensor so hopefully those pesky spots will disappear. Why didn’t I do it sooner???) Ohhhh and I rented a tilt shift. the rental guy has me all freaked out that I am going to have a tough time feeling it out. Well tomorrow I have a Bride and a Newborn so we will see if I can get at least (1) great tilt shift shot at each session or if it will end up back in my bag. Check back and I will tell you how it went.

P.S. You gotta love how I am actually in the reflection of the truck bumper. I will probably crop it out later but for now, at least I am making an appearance on the blog!

What’s New with Bridgette Marie Photography?

Posted on October 7, 2009

So much to share…so little time. Let’s recap the last few weeks and talk about what’s coming up.

First of all, I finally sent out my first newsletter. I have no idea why it took  me over a year to get one together but I am happy to mark it off my list. Fellow photographers know exactly what I am going through on that one!

Next, I keep getting asked about Miley Cyrus shots, so here you go. Here are a few from her recent interview and concert two weeks ago. I will say it again…this girl rocks! I adore her and she is very talented. She is much more of a “rock it out” type performer than the pop princess we all think she is. What I love most is that beneath all the glitz and glam she is still very much a teenager. She fidgets when she talks, can’t stop looking at her blackberry, and eats cheesecake before dinner (an act that I witnessed myself and when I brought it to her attention she then commented on my rice and salad platter- “touche’” Miley!). She loves her fans and has smiles and hugs for every one of them. When a little girl cries because they are meeting her, it makes her tear up, too. Just a sweet teenager that happens to be one of the world’s biggest pop stars. Her brother’s band Metrostation is on tour with her, also. They are all very close and it’s pretty cool to see them together.  Here’s some Metrostation and Miley shots…

I know not much tops Miley, but there has been lots of fun stuff going on beyond Miss Cyrus. I shot the new press images for Univision, Phoenix 33. While by contract I can not share those just yet, they did turn out great and you should be seeing them on billboards  and advertisements throughout town. That was fun as the whole Univision team was so great to work with! I will share one shot of two radio/tv hosts Danny and Erika. They are so funny together. Although most of what they say is in spanish…so I am pretty sure they are funny. lol..

Why yes…there IS still more to share. “We” had our first wedding together in the caves of Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona. We, being my new partner, second shooter, and husband Brendan. I was so proud of how well he did. Kind of jealous at how fast he adapted to the manual shooting. He’s great at balancing on bridges to get shots and packing all the equipment, including the flowers for the bride. As seen here…isn’t he cute?

Maybe some images from the actual wedding…

Doesn’t that look so beautiful? If I could have our wedding all over, I would go back to that canyon and have it there. Out in nature with nothing but the beautiful and peaceful weather surrounding you. Amazing…

Okay back to business, there are some BMP workshops and events coming up. I will have official flyers this week on both. To get a head’s up on information…

October 23-24- Headshot mini session.   – $125 for 45 minute session and 6 files.  Perfect for Actors or even just your Facebook Avatar!

November 10th – Photoshop workshop with CRW Media’s Christine Wolfe covering Lightroom, Photoshop workflow, enhancing images, plus body and skin work. Details are still being worked out but spots are $150 and the class is 5 hours long. I will post information in the next week so stay tuned. So much information on this one! (Plus Christine is taking a break from her national photoshop tour to share info with us!!!) If you are interested email me to reserve a spot.

That’s enough for today…thanks for checking in! Keep an eye out for my newsletter if you are on the mailing list..only a year in the making.
