Night on the Town- Kandis and Jason

  • Posted on September 26, 2009 at 2:24 am

Hello again,

Last weekend I got to work with a couple (Kandis and Jason) who I have worked with previously. Last January I did a couples beach shoot, and I was so happy with the results. They are so cute together and have such amazing chemistry – the pictures can only be wonderful. She also brought her best friend and Goddaughter to me in May for a friends shoot. I must say I love my repeat clients!

Kandis contacted me with the concept of a “night on the town” shoot. I figured it was a really neat idea, plus I don’t have anything like it in my portfolio so I agreed. What an amazing way to see your city! I must say I knew Jacksonville was cool, but the bridges all lit up were amazing! Between the neon blue of the bridge and the red of the fountain we got some pretty cool shots.


Now would be the perfect time to take advantage of the end of summer specials I have going on. Besides think of how much fun you will have dressing up and traveling Jax at night!
Thanks for thinking of me Kandis- I had a blast! To view more pictures from this shoot visit www.pictage.com/725993
All the best,
Vanessa

Hello Again,
I just realized how long its been since my last post- Sorry about that. Have no Fear though Today will most likely bring 3 new posts, as I havent been hiding under a rock :) . First and formost I want to extend my gratitude to the Morris Family who shot with me the end of last month.
Aimee- Mom, contacted me. She was impressed enough with my pricing compared to local competitors to go ahead and book. They are from Indiana and were visiting St. Augustine as a family Vacay. Aimee brought along her Husband Randy, 3 wonderful children Carson, Camryn, and Corbin, and Grandma and Grandpa (Aimee’s Parents) Gary and Faith.

Welcome to All…

Hello everyone,
Welcome to my blog. I would like to start by explaining my dream- I want to share my photography with the world! It’s never been about the money, only the memories I preserve and the lives I touch.
Today I found happiness in that— I went to Orange Park to deliver a CD and some prints to a Model— Niki H.— She came to me a few months ago (found me through Craigslist) and decided to do a model shoot with me. We had a blast! Of course we lost track of time and ended up shooting for like 2 hours. She viewed her final pictures and immediatley added them to her portfolio. Taking my advice she created a modelmayhem page and proudly displayed her shots there as well. Soon after we had another shoot- this time we went with another theme (some are posted below). Again viewing her shots she ordered prints, and told me of some other photogs she worked with (and Hated!). Great news for me- I love hearing my clients saying how much they enjoyed themselves or loved their pictures. Layed back, fun, relaxing, amazing- all descriptions I’ve heard.
Today upon delivering her prints, she very excitedly told me how Sports Illustrated found her on modelmayhem- LOVED her swimsuit shots and invited her to shoot with them in June!
CONGRATS Niki! I was so excited to hear that, to know I had a part in it. Of course I made her promise to remember me when she made it big, lol. She said she would include me in her commentary “my first and favorite photographer Vanessa”… I cant guarentee the same professional results (S.I. searching you out), but I can give you the same time and energy in your shoot- Who knows, maybe one day you will be in her shoes.
She did schedule another shoot with me – This time for a couple fashion shoot…. Keep your eyes peeled for those images soon.
Thanks for reading and keep on dreaming!
Thanks Niki, for sharing your dream with me… CONGRATS!
