blogs of photogs

I know there are many photographers who have heard pieces of Sheye’s story. Well, really of Ava’s story. Superprincess Ava. Who has touched so many across the world. If you don’t know about it… go here to read about Ava’s rule and share the postcard with others you know.

Lynsey Stone does some really neat birth photography (often home-births) in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas. I’ve always thought it would be such a neat sub-specialty to work with a midwife practice and photograph home births. Her photos are very tasteful and subdued, not showing any of the actual birth, so if you are a squeamish person, don’t be worried to look! What a truly amazing thing to do, capture the first moments, the first breaths! Here blog is here and her site is here.

Yeah, I’m breaking the rules again. No blog. 

I’m back to the blog with Jackie Cooper….

I am at a great workshop in Philly hosted by Karen Carey, a really talented and wonderful photographer. I’ll be back Sunday night and will post new blog(s) monday. Sorry, meant to post before I left friday.
see you then!

I stumbled across Sarah in a classic case of digital drifting… following one post to one blog to one flickr account to another blog, and so on and so on. I’m not the only one who does this, right? 

I love the title of Joy’s photography website: Finding Joy Photography. I know its a play on her name, Joy Kaminski, but I expect it has a triple meaning. It seems like perhaps she set out to find joy: by that I mean, happiness, the joy in life, and to capture that joy beautifully, and instead has found herself: found Joy.  I love that Joy is not afraid to try out lots of different post processing techniques to give her images so many different looks. She has some really amazing vintage photos and I love the warmth of them. 

Red Leaf Studios has a fun blog to read. Amy & Richard have some really interesting wedding trivia and info on a recent post, and if you go back a bit, some truly stunning photographs. I’m in love with the winter bridals…just tdf. Red Leaf is out of Regina, Saskatchewan, and you can find the blog here and the site here. The blog is really just a glimpse though. Get a cup of coffee and go view the site. Its amazing. The music, the photos, everything. I’m impressed.

In so many ways, Lena is my idol, (lol.) She makes it look way too easy. She’s running this awesomely successful photography studio, doing the Design Aglow thing, and seems to just be having a blast! Maybe you can have your cake and eat it too?

I’m sharing my favorite wedding photographer: Jeff Ascough. His black and whites are the most stunning things to enjoy. So crisp, clear and perfect. If I ever decided to do weddings, it would be my dream to second shoot with Jeff for awhile and try to soak up some of his amazing talent by osmosis. Yes, I know I’m gushing… but he is a legend. He works all over Europe, but mostly around England, you can find his blog here and his site here.
