2 kids from jersey

While I didn’t get to work much with Kamila 1-on-1 this time, I’ve worked with her once before, on a little present for Rob . It was SO great to see and work with her again. I totally love her style and personality. She’s incredibly approachable and normal; not pretentious or full of herself at all. Just the type of person you want to hang out with.

Also, she’ll do anything to get the shot - including hopping into a freezing cold fountain (see below). There were times I didn’t know she was even there but the pictures prove otherwise.

Without further adieu, here are some pics from Kamila Harris:

She’s freaking awesome. It’s a fact.

Kamila’s Website & Blog.

(PS – This is my 100th post!!

I also got to work with Cindy Patick last Sunday!! OMG she was so fun! She had such fun ideas and didn’t mind me being wacky. She even welcomed my penchant for climbing on stuff! We played off each other so well. Her sister assisted and also had some really great ideas. She natural eye for what was working or what wasn’t. I stole borrowed these from Cindy’s blog but she’s got a lot more great stuff over there. If you’re looking for a photographer, definitely check her out!!

Aren’t these FABULOUS?! Cindy Patrick is awesome! Check out her website or blog. Lots of love to her!

The pro pics from Sunday are starting to hit the blogs. It’s SO exciting to see what everyone saw and captured from behind their view finders.

I worked a lot with John Arcara and Cindy Patrick, so I think the 2 of them will have the most pics of me. But Kamila Harris, Sarah Schulte, Stephanie Voch Sherwood and Paul Roebuck will probably have some too. And of course, can’t wait to see what Ken Stillman and his team caught!

John was a blast to work with! So chill and laid-back, he put me totally at ease. You could tell he knew exactly what he was doing and was darn good at it too. He was SO much fun and not afraid to get down and dirty – even joining me to lie on the sidewalk. His work totally speaks for itself. Here are some teaser’s from John’s blog -

Also check out the wicked cool slideshow on his blog. Amazing.

John Arcara ROCKS!

You may have noticed the Faves & Friends links over in my right hand navigation bar. And you may have noticed one of them was the Philly Trash Bash blog. But what’s this? you ask. This my friends is what I’m doing with my Mother’s Day.

“Trash the Dress” was a term originally coined by John Michael Cooper, a photographer in Nevada. Mark Eric, a photographer in Louisiana, started a blog to feature some of his work in mid ’07. The blog isn’t used anymore, as they’ve moved on to a website. Trash the Dress sounds a lot worse that what it really is. The whole movement is really about creation, not destruction. You can read their “why” reasons here. But to me, it’s really about the art. I love the idea of juxtaposingthe typical image of a bride, all white and pristine, with a gritty, industrial, urban space.

On Sunday, May 11th, 6 brides, 6 photographers, 1 videographer and perhaps some husbands will be gathering at the Clinton St. Bed & Breakfast for the Philly Trash Bash. It’s going to be SO much fun!! (And free for the brides!) The photogs are Kamila Harris, Cindy Patrick, John Arcara, Paul Roebuck, Sarah Schulte, & Stephanie Sherwood-Voch. Kenneth Stillmanis the videographer- you may remember him from our wedding!

We will be shooting all around Philly. So if you’re in the area, come say hi! I think we’ll be hitting up South St. Penns Landing, the Ben Franklin Bridge and I don’t know what else. If you’re friends with or part of the media, let them know! I know they’d love the publicity, so the email is media@phillyttd.com.

I’ve bought some cool accessories and wanted to post pics but my camera battery died and I think the charger is in SJ. Maybe tomorrow.
