Team Mejia

admin — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 05:56:15 +0000

So I met Kristen on Twitter. I’m working (slowly) on learning Spanish and her sister recommended her to me. Turns out we ended up being great friends! Mejia as I like to call her (that’s her cool last name) is graduating and we decided to take some pics. I was ecstatic and it was an absolute blast! I’ve recently decided to do personal projects every once in a while to satisfy creative needs so she was my first victim lol. We were frolicking on Main Street in Memphis and she didn’t even mind lying on the ground in her dress lol! Mejia is awesome. I decided to grab a map for a prop because she LOVES traveling and I like the shot of the date on her back because its the date her grandfather passed and he won’t get to see her graduate. I’m so happy I had the opportunity to make her graduation that much more special. CONGRATS MEJIA!!!

The Fraziers

I just love shooting winter weddings! Mainly because I’d choose anything over the raging summer heat that usually comes along with summer weddings in the south. It can be a little difficult sometimes when you’re lugging around camera equipment and running around from place to place. And as always I’m always nervous before a shoot. I can’t explain why and I honestly hope I never outgrow it. It keeps me grounded. This was my first wedding I shot where I didn’t know the bride or groom prior to shooting their wedding. So far my friends from college have basically been helping me put food on the the table lol. It’s great to know that my range is extending and God willing will continue to grow. But I definitely see potential for growth. I’m passionate about what I do and I absolutely LOVE my job. I can’t begin to thank my best friend, Angela, for giving me the push I needed in college to chase this seemingly crazy dream I have.

Clarksdale High Senior

I’ve been waiting a long time for my little cousin to finally become a senior. Since I’ve been working more professionally as a photographer I’ve been itching at a chance to shoot some senior portraits. These are just the first session we did and I learned very quickly how goofy seniors are lol. Man I miss those times–life was so much carefree back then. No bills or work to worry about at all. My biggest concern was where I’d sit at the lunch table or whether or not I could get away with not having my shirt tucked in for the day (yeah our high school was pretty strict with the dress code). Even then I was the geeky kid walking around with a camera all the time. I should have known then that this is what I’m supposed to be doing instead of wasting a year and a half majoring in biology in college. Fortunately I was able to find my way back to art.

Here’s a photo shoot I did for my friend Rickey. He’s an aspiring songwriter/singer/producer. He pretty much does it all as far as music is concerned. He even helped me out a little bit with piano (I’m still working on finding more time to practice). This was the first shoot I did where it was terribly freezing outside and to top it all of I FORGOT my gloves! I was still happy none the less. The people passing by in the street cars were pointing and waving. I never get used to feeling like a professional nowadays. I can really start to see growth with my work compared to when I was in college. Those days seem so long ago.

Here’s a little more about him that I grabbed from his bio section from his blog. He was born Rickey Darnell Thomas Jr in West Helena, AR. He is currently making a name for himself in the MS delta as a potent songwriter with a refreshing distinct style. He blends pop, hip hop, soul, and alternative music to create his sound. Hopefully with a steady grind and a truck load of potential some major labels with take notice.

Hamilton Wedding

This was my first big wedding that I shot back in December 2008. I was so nervous and excited at the same time! My absolute favorite picture was the picture of her and her dancing. I was laughing so hard I almost missed the shot lol. I went to college with the bride and she’s actually the person who got me started with weddings. I started with this one wedding and it just snowballed out of control lol! You never know where you will end up sometimes.

Jones’ Wedding

admin — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 18:00:26 +0000

This was my last wedding from this past summer. It’s always nerve racking when you know the couple personally when shooting a wedding. I was so nervous. I wanted to do a great job and not let anyone down. Not to mention the groom was my frat brother and I had one frat tell me I “better not mess up,” –talk about pressure. None the less, I think I did a pretty good job. And to the bride and groom–I wish you all the best in your marriage and your future together and thanks for giving me the opportunity to shoot your wedding day.
