The People Behind the Lens

Categories Getting Personal, Photography

I just returned from an awesome weekend in Pennsylvania. I had the opportunity to meet a lot of new photographer friends and models in Philadelphia at a photo walk hosted by  Becky of Life with Kaishon. I also joined forces with Mindy of Freckles & Dimples Photography on a styled engagement/ wedding shoot that I’m head over heels in love with! Once I’m settled in and can catch up on some beauty rest (because I *really* need it after this long weekend!) and editing, I’ll share more photos from these action-packed days.  Until then, here’s a photo taken of me and some of the photographers (and one of our models)  at the photo walk.  Between all of us, we took thousands of photos that day, but this one may be my favorite. Thanks Kaishon for capturing this fabulous shot of the people behind the lens!

Left to right: Gerald, Kevin (our model), Gina, Tom, Jennifer, Becky (aka The Best Photo Walk organizer ever!), Adrion, Me and Robin.

Becky it was WONDERFUL to see you again! Thank you for hosting such a wonderful event and lining up so many gorgeous models for us to photograph! Can’t wait till we meet up again…next time, Princeton! Perhaps for Gerald/ Adrion’s workshop :)

It was nice to meet you at the shoot. I checked out your site and I am very impressed with your work. Have you considered shooting weddings? I like your style and I would like to work with you one day. Keep in touch!

I was EXHAUSTED by the time I got home, but I still didn’t manage to sleep until midnight! Luckily, I took the following day off. I can’t wait to go through our pictures either! Lol @ Gerald comment :)

It was nice to meet you Maddy! You guys are fabulous! I can’t wait for the next photowalk. Becky and I are already planning for one in May…:)

It was so great meeting you too! I know all about the May one and I can’t wait!!!

I love that you can shoot weddings with whomever you want : ) I think working with Gerald would be a pleasure! : ) Also, we didn’t have a photo ‘walk’ we had a photo shoot : ) but you can call it a walk if it makes you happier. Thank you for being such a great friend and coming to the shoot. It is always a pleasure to see you! I wish Buckeroomama could come with us too. Wouldn’t that be ducky? I am glad we had Scarlett. She is a JOY!

Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} March 21, 2012 at 2:51 pm

Oops…I wasn’t sure what to call it. How about photo shoot extravaganza?! That’s exactly what it felt like :) And I agree with you 100% – working with Gerald would definitely be an honor! I think his work is amazing!

Gloria March 21, 2012 at 3:30 pm

Oh how fun! Can’t wait to see photos from the wedding shoot!
