you’re not alone. we’re thinking the same thing. why in the world am i blogging a slideshow on a friday night?!! at the risk of sounding fabulously lame, it’s been an intense week of editing and matt and i are just excited to relax and finish up work from last weekend before we dive headfirst into more shoots starting tomorrow! i promise we’re usually out with friends, i promise we have friends, and i promise that you would even like them! without further ado (excuses;)), here is matt and laura’s amazing slideshow, i really loved this shoot, check them out!
today, there are two things i’d like to tell you about matt: 1.he’s creative. 2.he’s competitive. these things coexist beautifully in our world and it means that we’re rarely bored- standing in line turns into a ridiculous game full of twists and laughter, to-do lists transform into impressive spreadsheets, even photography cannot scoot by without a touch of creative competition!
is it friendly?
yes.
but it’s also competition, baby!
throughout the week, matt reads articles on classic photography and new techniques while i browse fine art and fashion photography. we bring to our friendly competition two different backgrounds but a shared purpose, to capture the unique personalities of our clients. when we come home from a shoot and view the images for the first time yes, we’re proud of our own images. more than that, though, a mutual admiration strengthens as we begin to take in each other’s photographs, spot new techniques, and realize that without each other we’re not the complete package. we come as a team because that’s just how we work. like i said, it’s competition, but it’s friendly!
enough of the friendly for a second; we’re shooting this weekend and i cannot even wait to see what happens! …did i mention i’m a teensy bit competitive too? :)
laura and matt were the first couple to hire us when altmix photography became official! we owe them so much; their strong faith in us and our new little business was so encouraging at a time when we really needed it! since then it’s been wonderful to get to know laura and her incredible love for others, especially matt. speaking of matt, i must say, his involvement in the wedding planning process is incredible! not only did he suggest the (oh.my.gosh.incredible!) location for our shoot on sunday, he also came up with some fun pictures for us to take while we were there! these two beautiful people make one dynamite couple, enjoy!
matt, you’re the man for holding this pose!
the always lovely laura!
thank you guys for a stellar afternoon and shoot! you’re truly beautiful inside and out!
