Tarin and Chris's Honeymoon Photo Session (Atlanta, Georgia)

This past weekend, I had a wonderful time in Atlanta, Georgia photographing Tarin and Chris's honeymoon photo session and spending time with friends and family! :-) You will remember Tarin from the Portrait section as well as the Family and Children section in the Gallery link on my main site www.shellyedwards.com It was a delight watching them have a fun time on new year's day in the snow building a snow man, having a snow fight, warming up by the fireside toasting and eating marshmallows, and doing other things that I won't mention until the slideshow is ready. Until then, I chose to give you a sneak peak into the great time we had. As usual, Tarin was a pleasure to be around and Chris was very funny too! :-) Baby Frank is now walking around and talking :-) Special thanks to my friends, Avaleen and Ross for baby sitting Frank in the warmth while the rest of us did the photo shoot outside! We enjoyed Avaleen's sermon the following day and then spent time visiting our friends, Shaun, Stacy, and their daughters. Lastly, I enjoyed visiting my cousin, Gary, his wife, Annaleee, and the newest addition to the Edwards family! :-) Thanks everyone for an amazing start for the new year! :-) Keep having fun with each other Tarin and Chris and thanks for choosing me to capture this special time in your lives!

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ATLANTA!!!!! :-)

Happy New Year everyone!!! :-) It's a new year with new adventures and lessons to learn. I am so looking forward to traveling the world with clients and sharing my experiences with you locally, nationally, and internationally! :-) Thanks to every one of you on an individual basis for all the love, support, and kind words that you shared with me for the past years that Shelly Edwards Photography has been around! It definitely wouldn't have been the same without you! Well, I'm off to starting the new year today with my first destination photo shoot of the year in Atlanta! :-) It's a honeymoon session having fun in the snow at Snow Mountain at Stone Mountain. Until next time, have a FABULOUS NEW YEAR!!!!!!!! :-)

Below is a picture I took last night from the airoplane showing a bluemoon. It was the second full moon of the month, which means it's a blue moon.

Shelly Edwards on CVM Television

I absolutely loved being on the television set of CVM in Jamaica while being interviewed live for the CVM at Sunrise morning show. The hosts, Rohan Daley and Kurt Wilson made it so easy for me to feel comfortable and have a fun time before, during, and after the interview! :-) Special thanks to the producer, Diandra, the make up artist, Tamara, and a former client, Tarin for your help throughout the process!!! :-) You can view the interview on www.youtube.com by just typing in Shelly Edwards. The direct link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xorklnc5AI0. You can also watch it below. It was also a pleasure spending time with some of my former classmates from Ardenne High School and Northern Caribbean University. Also, I finally got to meet my most frequent blog commenter, Dian! :-) Lastly, I enjoyed being a model for one of my friends who has now been doing photography as well, Lancelot. He contacted me the day before I went to Jamaica and asked me if I would like to be his model and I was like, "Ahhh, ok!" :-)

See you back here soon. Keep enjoying your holiday season! :-)

Sneak Previews

Hi Everyone! :-)

This blog post highlights the last 2 photo shoots that I have for 2009. I enjoyed photographing Melissa and Georges engagement session in Florida in 25 degrees farenheit weather, go figure! :-) Apart from freezing, we had a wonderful time in the ice bar! :-) We did part 1 of their engagement session and have part 2 next month. I'm looking forward to sharing the slideshow with you once we are finished. I'm looking forward to capturing their wedding next summer. Thanks as always to Sherry Carey from www.chainofeventsbahamas.com for the referral and for finding such a unique venue for the engagement session! :-)

I also had a great time capturing Stacey and Avery's wedding last Sunday! :-) After seeing how Stacey and Avery went all out in choosing great outfits for their engagement session, I was looking forward to seeing what they would wear for their wedding and sure enough, they made choices. It was great seeing a former client, Jamilah and our friend, Shamika. Thanks for the referral Jamilah! :-) I love how Stacey and Avery's were crying while they were coming down the isle! Looking forward to sharing their slideshow with you soon!

Lavonne and Seymour's Wedding (Florida)

I recently enjoyed capturing Lavonne and Seymour's Wedding in Florida. Lavonne looked great in her princess styled attire and I had fun with her long veil and flower girls. She is a wonderful young lady who I always enjoy speaking with as she has become more of a friend than a client. It was precious seeing Seymour's eyes get teary while Lavonne was walking down the isle! :-) It was great meeting him as well because he was very pleasant. I love the song that Lavonne suggested for the slideshow as they are really powerful! Special thanks to Cynthia for the referral! As usual, the decorators Cynthia (954-294-0314), Pat, and Janet (305-546-2255) did an awesome job! :-) I wish you both only the best and thanks for choosing me to capture your big day!
