>Senior "Grad" pics in San Diego
>Senior “Grad” pictures are really fun for me! It’s a fun age to do a photo shoot and they are usually super excited! High schools still do traditional studio shots for upwards of $700 a package, so it has become more popular to hire an outside photographer and in some cases even save you money for better work. On this shoot we did a few locations in Downtown San Diego and a few wardrobe changes. I like to showcase a graduating senior in a few different ways to make it fun and exciting for them. We had fun roaming the boardwalk and I actually had my brand new flash literally explode while shooting. It sounded like a fire cracker and the front plastic piece shot 12 feet to my models feet. It was really weird! Anyhow graduating seniors, do your senior pics with a photographer outside of the school and you can submit one of their photos for the year book, instead of doing the traditional studio shoot.
>Capturing Moments blogged about by A Good Affair
>Thank you Natalie for your awesome write up and compliments, and for choosing Capturing Moments as a featured vendor on your blog. I have worked with Natalie with A Good Affair, wedding planning and design on dozens of weddings over the past five years. Natalie is so easy to work with and has amazing taste!!!! Two of my wedding galleries are her weddings. I know when I work with A Good Affair it is going to be a great wedding that is well planned and organized. All of her brides are very well taken care of, and she ends up saving her brides money when they use her coordination, design, and her preferred vendors. You can’t go wrong with Natalie and her team, I always look forward to going to work that day, and know that I am going to have spectacular details and design aspects to shoot. Check out the blog and her site. As I have said in previous blogs, I highly recommend a coordinator as well as a designer that can help with different elements of your wedding and save you money in the long run. A really great planner will give you a better wedding then you could have ever dreamed of with the same budget in mind. They are creative, artistic, organized, and manage your vendors and all behind the scenes aseptic of the day so you or your Mom don’t have to.
>Family Shoot Day- Urban Kids in Downtown Brea
>Love this urban, colorful, fun shoot for the kids!!! This was shot on one of my family shoot days this past weekend. You are not limited to a family shoot on these days, you can use the shoot for whatever you want; engagement, graduation, headshots, etc. These shoots are half off my usual prices and are 30 minute mini shoots. It is a great way to get amazing images, at an affordable rate. I shoot about 30 families a year before Christmas from September-November. I usually will pick the day and location and then people just sign up for a time slot. They include full editing and full copyrights as all of my photo shoots do, I really feel in this digital age clients should own all of their own images. I have been documenting these kids since they were babies. It is so fun to watch all of these kids grow up, and weird! We hung out, played, got ice cream, and set up fun shots with the shopping cart and ice cream cones. These shoots actually create fun memories as well. On family shoots it is all about having fun, creating a natural comfortable environment, and catching special moments that are always happening. Enjoy pics of the Clark kids!
>Same Sex Weddings & Being Christian, a response to a blog comment
>
Somebody “anonymously” left a comment concerning my “same sex wedding” blog saying: “Jaimee, you know better, I am surprised that you would participate in a Hoax, it’s not biblical and it’s not legal.” My response: Since this person knows me, I am surprised that you would not talk to me personally Christian to Christian as the bible states. Since I do not have that option I would like to publically reply, even though I am not releasing the comment on my blog and could have ignored it completely. First off, it starts by saying, “you know better,” which seems sort of shaming to me? Biblically, there is only one judge that has the right to shame me, well maybe besides my parents growing up. 🙂 Second, it says that I participated in a Hoax? What? The definition of a Hoax is to deceive or defraud, a fake or imposter. I participated in no deception, I really do not completely understand what that means. I would like to say that I do not run my business and choose clients according to others personal beliefs compared to mine. If that were the case and I only serviced Christians and Christian weddings, then I could not shoot any weddings of any Christian couples that currently live or sleep together, or sin as a practiced lifestyle. How would I find this out? I also would not be able to shoot any other religious ceremonies, considering they would not believe as I do including: atheists, agnostics, and even some Christian services I have done and felt convicted about the differences in beliefs. So considering the list above, as I have put a lot of thought into this, living here I would not have much of a business left. Shooting someone’s religious or non-religious ceremony or event is LOVING and none of my business what their personal beliefs are! If I were an accountant would I not do a gay persons taxes? If I owned a bakery, would I put a sign up saying I only serve certain groups? I think discrimination is the thing that is against the law? I wear my cross, and I document people’s lives. Like Jesus, I will try to stand next to anyone in LOVE and NON-Judgment! Did Paul only make tents for Christians? When Jesus made wine, was it not at an Orthodox Jewish Wedding? I don’t feel too good or better than anyone as to not stand in front of them and document there life, as a Christian I feel this is what I have been called to do. It is sad for me that people miss the message and LOVE of Jesus. You should not mistake the difference between compassionate love and condoning others beliefs and choices. Who did Jesus actually spend his time with, what did he actually do? What this couple did was not illegal, they had a non-religious ceremony expressing their love and commitment and I feel absolutely NO conviction for shooting this! As far as it being biblical, I think I have already stated above that I am not running a business where I have the power to judge somebody else’s walk with God and whether or not I deem them biblical enough or their ceremony biblical enough for me to shoot. I am not the judge of this. I do not run a strictly Christian company only documenting biblically sound Christian lives, and if I did would I be doing what Jesus did? WWJD?????
