A few weeks ago I decided that I was going to hire an assistant to help with some book work and tag along to the occasional wedding. That's when I thought of this great young girl who basically my neighbor and definitely loves the photography world. She swooped in and caught up all of my book work in no time flat so this past weekend I asked her if she wanted to help me at a wedding. She jumped at the chance even though she was pretty sure she'd just be lugging equipment, holding reflectors and basically being my gopher, lol. Well, much to her surprise, right before the ceremony was about to begin, I handed her a camera and said "lets see what you get". She was a bit nervous but jumped right in and did a great job for me all day. Especially since I literally gave her a 30 second talk about how to use the camera. So it was definitely sink or swim and she absolutely swam with the fishes all day. She did awesome, so I decided that before I post the wedding blog, I will post a few that she took on her own. I helped a little with the Photoshop but they are her shots and for the first time with a camera in her hands, I thought she did wonderfully. Here they are Niki. Great Job!!!
And finally Niki caught this great silouette of the bride outside the reception hall. Again, great job Nik! You rock!
This first image is obviously Niki hard at work. I don't look quite that good, lol, but I do have about 30 years on her too.
This was basically the only shot I asked her to try to get and she did. I think it was the first or second shot that she took. Good job Nik!
Niki captured this great candid shots of the guys as I was posing them.

Well its been a few weeks since my new blog site has been up and running and I have been meaning to put up this special post. It seems sometimes when you are going to purchase something the "support" always sounds like it will be fantastic but after you have actually done it, things fall short. However I wanted to send a big thank you to Mitzie, Lisa, Ann Marie, Anthony and everyone else at Into the Darkroom for designing my new site and I wanted to mention that the support after the fact has been fabulous. Thanks to you all for all your efforts in the design, set up and definitely the support. You guys totally ROCK and I appreciate all of your efforts.

And because every post looks lost and empty without a photo, here's a photo I took of some flowers down at the lake the other day.
