Hey guys,
Can I just say it out in the open?? That picture of us on the “welcome” page is quite the *unflattering* picture!! haha.. We will be replacing it as soon as we get the chance… But let me just explain the background of this picture. Yes, I look a tad “off” there, definately moreso then Denny does. It was actually taken at our downtown church location. It was one of those joint services and I was doing a children’s program with the kids, and Denny was helpin out as well. The children were watching a movie, hence the dark background and I was leaning back against those half doors (the doors that are cut into two and open seperately for both) and Denny was outside. Thats why the angle is off.. and everything just looks awkward! Denny… why did we use this one again?? haha..
Anyways.. looking at that picture this morning got me thinking.. “Man! Are we THAT unphotogenic? *cries*..” Well, maybe me more then Denny.. This past weekend, we celebrated our friend Peter’s (Denny’s bm) 26th birthday. What a celebration it was.. Anyhoos, Im starting to get off track.. But on Sunday, Denny and I scouted out some locals for our e-shoot. It was fun driving around and trying to be “creative” when looking at different scenery. Now that its Monday afternoon, I dont know why exactly, but im starting to get nervous about doing our e-shoot! I feel like they’re so much pressure to try and display your emotions for each other onto camera.. But most importantly, to show them in the most “natural-est” way possible.
For those of you who do not know me.. Well, let me just say, Im not 100% fond of taking pictures to the point where I have a camera right in front of my face all the time. All of a suddent my body tenses up and I try to smile and be aux natural, however somewhere along the way my smile turns weird and my eyes/cheeks/lips form into this unnatural grin that I cant seem to control! haha.. Needless to say.. Im currently trying to prepare for this photo session mentally… Im really hoping that I will feel more comfortable on the day of.. and that everything will go smoothly. Thankfully for us, we have this super cool photographer named Claudia who can work wonders!
Im excited…and anxious… but a little more excited..
