it before… but I have the most amazing family. Today I’m thanking my daddy and my little brother for being just plain AWESOME. Three weeks ago we left for a wedding in DC and while we were gone, Daddy and Corey were at our house giving our little deck a makeover! You see, in true Michael and Katelyn fashion, we tried to coat our deck in faux “Trex” paint that would make it feel like real Trex! Well, that didn’t go so well. Only a few weeks after we coated the deck with this special “goo”… it started to peel up! What a MESS!
We had this gorgeous new home and a deck that looked like it had been abandoned for YEARS. We had our April workshop coming up and so we really didn’t want the chunks of peeled paint to be all over the deck and so we casually mentioned wanting to get Trex installed to my brother and he volunteered! Daddy and Corey love these little projects (well, it wasn’t so “little”, it took them ALL day!). They pulled up the old boards, picked up the Trex we ordered from Lowes and replace the deck in one day! We can home with a newly updated deck just in time for the workshop that was taking place one day later!! We’re so SO thankful for their handiness and willingness to help us out. I have such a generous, giving family and we just love them!!! So daddy and Corey, THANK YOU!!! We love our updated deck!! It’s PERFECT!!!!!!!!! Here’s a before and some fun “afters” of our little backyard space! It’s nothing fancy but we’re loving it! Next project, a FENCE! (Too bad they cost a small fortune!! But Bokeh would LOVE it…. so we may just have to save up for that! #spoiledpuppy).
Ew! Yikes! This is before! What did we DO?!As a professional photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless family portraits over the years. Each session presents a unique set of challenges, from managing energetic children to finding the perfect backdrops.
As a photographer, I’ve often found myself in situations where the location seemed lackluster or uninspiring. It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of the perfect setting, but the reality is that we don’t always have the luxury of shooting in the most visually stunning locations.
We rescheduled this shoot with the Smith family once because of a threat of rain. It wasn’t a totally horrible forecast but if there’s one thing that I learned about Colleen when I photographed her wedding, it’s that she loves the GLOW!
What’s better than doing a family session for one KJ couple? Photographing TWO and adding in Nonna and Grandpa!
As a professional wedding photographer, I’ve encountered my fair share of editing challenges on the job.
Have you ever closed out of Lightroom unhappy with the end result?
