a windy day on the river

despite the extreme drop in temps, the cloudy afternoon turned out to be great for a photo shoot! i'm going to start stealing reaghan for practice photo shoots... she's so good for pictures! i love her! will was a little more of a problem child for this though... he should start taking pointers from his 3 year old.

happily ever after...

finally finished ashley and will's wedding photos and here are a few of the finished product... no particular order and not particularly favorites, just trying to give a little variety to what i posted before. can't wait to see you guys for a family portrait session!

i'm getting settled in my new surroundings back in my home-state and getting into the groove of graduate school and working part time at a church in clarksburg... now to get to work with my photography "business" (if you will)! i've just ordered new business cards with a blog address, updated phone number, and physical address (... apparently the old ones were only accurate as far as my name). and now i think it's time for a new promotion, what do you think?

if you become a follower of Addy Jo Photography's Blog you will for now and forever receive 10% off of any service! ever!

now that is a smokin' deal! if you happen to be in the morgantown/point pleasant/clarksburg area it is worth it just for the "just in case" of ever needing a photographer... follow me on the left hand side of your screen today!

life changes... price changes.

wanted to let all of my loving followers know that i have finally updated my pricing list as well as my contact info since my big move! also, i will be waiving the travel fee for appointments in point pleasant during most weekends.

i have to appologize about these photos getting finished and posted so late! my initial goal was to have them finished the next weekend prior to my first day of grad school (one job at a time, ya know?) and it has sort of been a nightmare. i almost swore off photography all together. my memory card was being finiky (if that's how you spell the word) and a few pictures turned out... looking over developed! it was also my first indoor wedding so i'm still getting used to my built in flash (not to mention the nazi minister...), and the huge rain storm preventing us from taking any couple shots. but the biggest hurdle was yet to come...

i was sooo excited to start school for many reasons. one being that i planned on purchasing a new laptop that was quick enough to edit all of my photos on. i dreamed about this machine. and i bought it! and i happily downloaded eric and bj's wedding pictures onto it and began editing away...

it was quite a long process and would freeze every few pictures. weird. well i would get frustrated, turn the laptop off, and come back the next day. 12 days later... the entire hard drive crashed on my new baby. my child. thank goodness i have enough sense not to delete pictures until i have passed on the finished product to the client. sigh... anyway....

bj and eric i am sincerely sorry that it has taken me forever and 8 days (actually about 20 days...) to put your preview up. i hope you enjoy them as much as i enjoyed being there for your special day! i'm looking forward to a couple portrait session with you in the fall, on the house!
