Today's FAVORITE PHOTO OF THE DAY

FAVORITE PHOTO OF THE DAY-- This sweet little girl wasn't keen on being photographed... in the beginning... but as is the case with most children... you just need to relate to them on their level and play and laugh and let them be themselves and not try to morph them into a statue that looks at the camera and smiles ( in my opinion) unfortunately many mother's seem to want those kinds of photos, but luckily not this mother, and I was able to grab this cute picture of her daughter.

 

FAVORITE PHOTOS OF THE DAY!

I was out of town for a few days so got a little behind on my favorite photos of the day posts... so here comes THREE of them with a little information to explain them.  :-)

   1st FAVORITE PHOTO OF THE DAY-- This was a whimsical photo taken during Jessica and Myles' engagement session in Watercolor Florida. We simulated a picnic and I thought it would be funny to have Jessica reading some wedding magazines... and typically the majority of men aren't too interested in the wedding planning process, so I thought it would be funny if Myles had a look of disinterest on his face while she was absorbed in the latest wedding trends.

 2nd FAVORITE PHOTO OF THE DAY-- Beth and Dan opted to marry in Vegas and avoid all the expense involved in a traditional wedding... however they were still interested in some cool photos of the two of them taken along our beautiful Gulf Coast... and I think they had the right idea!!

 

 3rd- FAVORITE PHOTO OF THE DAY-- This one has nothing to do with weddings.. but one of my favorite images I took a few years ago while in New Orleans. I was visiting there and wanted to photograph the cemeteries early in the morning with the heavy fog... but I missed my turn off the highway and lost my chance... so I went down by the river and saw this boat.. shortly after a man popped up and hopped on his dingy and came to shore.. like I said, this is one of my favorite images. :+)

 

FAVORITE PHOTO OF THE DAY!

FAVORITE PHOTO OF THE DAY--- I originally starting doing this on my business facebook page: Sonja Revells Photography , where my intention was to have one favorite photo from each wedding.. but I think that is going to be impossible simply because there are always soooo many great photos and they all have a story behind them, but I will continue on with one, FAVORITE PHOTO OF THE DAY for now, to keep things simple and just add future favorite photos even if they are from the same wedding-

    This was taken at Nick and Holly's wedding this past fall at the Turtle Beach Inn in Cape San Blas.  Occasionally instead of the traditional sand ceremony, people will do what we call a seashell throw at the end of the ceremony and each guest (who was provided with a seashell when arriving) heads down to the shore line and throws it back into the water. I LOVE people who think outside the box and what a cool photo!!
