Personal

2012 is going to be big. Really big. Freaking huge!

I moved to Philadelphia just 3 years ago and I’ll admit that showing up in December 2008 wasn’t the easiest pill to swallow when re-starting a business in a brand new area (remember that recession that hit in late ’08?). In 2009 I learned about the wedding culture in this area (trust me, there are definite differences between Philly and San Francisco) and started to figure out what was what around here. Things took off after that and now I’m busier than I’ve ever been. I’ve had some of the most incredible couples on the planet. I’ve seen weddings that have blown me away, made me cry (in the best possible way), made my heart melt, made me laugh til my stomach hurt, and simply made me say “awwww…”. And I’m pretty sure all of those things will happen again and again in 2012. I’m so thankful to everyone who has helped me since I showed up here – the venues and vendors who trust me and recommend me to their couples, the old friends and family who remind everyone that they know this awesome photographer named Lindsay, the new friends who tell me that they recognize my name and logo and love my work, and my awe-inspiring couples who show me so much love it makes me blush.

Thank you all for welcoming me back to my old home. This is home.

I look forward to 2012 with bright eyes and a bushy tail. I’m mostly booked up for the year and can tell that it’s going to be out of this world!

With this New Year I’m giving you soap! Scrub away any doubts, insecurities, and issues from 2011 and start fresh!

Try, Try to forget what’s in the past
Tomorrow is here

Love, Orange sky above lighting your way
There’s nothing to fear
 

Birds singing a song
Old paint is peeling
This is that fresh
That fresh feeling

This is the time for colors in this area. Just look out your window. This is why friends and family think I’m a ghost this time of year. It’s the busiest part of the year for me because the foliage is so vibrant that everyone wants a piece of it! My October dates booked up lickity split and then November did too when I had to let people know October was closed. This means that there are still a ton of sessions and weddings coming up on the blog before the end of the year. And we’re talking some fantastic imagery too! Indoor weddings, outdoor weddings, city hall weddings, boudoir sessions, and engagement sessions like you wouldn’t belie ...

Fathers
About this time last year I learned how to develop film and print my own images in the darkroom. I wanted to give my first finished picture to my dad for his birthday on June 23rd. I agonized over which image to choose. I finally decided on this iris and spent weeks perfecting my chemical baths, lights, and dodging and burning to create a portrait I was proud to give him.He was the one who gave me my first camera and encouraged my love of photography. He has been proud of me every step of the way through all trials and tribulations.I have just experienced my first Father's Day without my father. He passed away July 7th, 2006 from lung can ...
