Angela & Preston

I went to Laurel back in November to photograph a wedding. The bride wanted to shoot outside but it ended up being super cold and rainy. Yuck! We went to a friend of the brides house and came out with these great photos!

School work

So graduation is December 19 and here's some of what I'm working on for my senior exhibition in the Spring. I've spent 6.5 years in college and it's crazy to think I'm almost done! WOOHOO! The 2 photos on the matboard is a continuation of the big tree next to it. Neither piece is completed yet but both are in the works. The big tree is basically the tree of life. I used multiple trees symbolizing that we are the same and yet all so different in our own aspects. The tree & figure will become a big tree as well unifying the connection of the human figure with the figurative qualities of trees. Yet again, the tree of life.

A 60th Anniversary party

This anniversary party was by far a great experience. I have never done an anniversary and wasn't sure if a lot of people even hiring photographers for their anniversaries. I met this family in 2008, when I photographed a wedding for the family. Their granddaughter was getting married and wore the same dress her grandmother and mother wore, just redesigned a little. Here's the family photo and a sample from the granddaughters bridal shoot from 2008. I love this family and they are such great people to work with and I was honored that they called me for their anniversary party.

My 1st beach wedding!

Here's a teaser from my first beach wedding August 8, 2009. The happy couple are good friends of mine. Brandi and I worked together at Sam's club in the photo lab where I got my start in photography. I was so excited to get to photograph their wedding in Orange Beach, AL! I had been dying to do a destination wedding. I have to say, they are the most fun EVER! I can't wait to do more destination weddings. Here are some photos from the wedding!

My first destination wedding!

July 18, 2009 - New Orleans, LA

This was my first destination wedding. Due rain the few days before we didn't get to do much outdoors but I got some great shots. This was also the first wedding I shot with my new Canon 50mm lens. These are low resolution. Check out www.flickr.com/shotsbysheryl. That site shows the true quality of my work.
