Of course it means a lot Bob! I work hard on this stuff!!!! :-)
Hehe. Yeah, you should have seen her face. Better yet, her Mother's face. I had some white pillow sheets though, so we were good. :-)
Lovely bride and a really good sport. I'm only half way through this Bridal, and I'm really happy with everything so far. I lucked out with this Bride for sure.
Thanks for your kind words!

Did you put a square photo in as your avatar? thats probably the reason.

Great work, Cindy!

How did you get that light in the first? From the second one I'm guessing that it's natural, but did you have to tell them when to start the wedding so you could get her posed in time? LOL

Gorgeous bride!

Thank you guys. Mike, the first two were natural light. There was a wall of windows behind me. (But keep in mind, I tweak my light in post as well). The third is lit.
I try to do my Bridals in a separate session if possible, so neither I or the Bride feels rushed.
Thanks again.
Bob, thanks! I'll see if I can't fix the avatar. :-)
Hugs!

Cindy wish we could pursuade you to post some of your great work in the PAF Reality Show. Although its great you dont as trying to find something wrong with the first one would be a nightmare for us mods!!

Cheers

It's kinda scary! The only contests I've ever entered were WPJA and AGWPJA, and I've gotten no winners. :-(
I'll guess I'll try one of these, as they are client readies.
Say a prayer for me Stewart!

Come on . . . it doesn't look that dirty! I saw Bambi Cantrell at a seminar a few years ago and someone asked, "How do you get your brides to do those crazy poses and lay on the ground and that stuff?" Bambi's reply was pretty simple, "I ask them!" If you don't ask, these women won't come up with this stuff themselves!

Great work Cindy! BTW: What's wrong with your avatar? Or, did you fix it?

Hi Ed,
Thank you for the kind words.
I think I fixed the avatar. If it still looks crazy, it's prolly just me. :-)
