Krista and Al
Family is important…
One of the best phone calls or emails you can receive as a photographer is when a repeat client reaches out…
Krista and Al,
I am just going to say that they came as clients but now they are family! from their pre-wedding on Crane Resort beach to their wedding then a family session with their first child and countless family projects she referred me to and now with their second child family session. I am blessed to have this family as clients.
Bottom Bay Beach | The edge of Barbados
When Krista emailed me saying she was coming home for Christmas, I smiled because I knew I was going to get to meet the family again and this time was another addition. Somehow Krista and AL always manage to have the maternity part back home in Canada (Slight jealous note here)
Knowing that they were coming home was a sure session (whether Krista knew it or not)… We got some amazing photos on that beach.
Richanna and Kyle
If this is how 2018 going to be... I happily welcome it.
Contact was made mid-November with Richanna about having a couple session done, we chatted back and fro about rates and packages. She wanted to have a shoot done early in January, somehow we lost contact and then Christmas happened... I got an email confirming the first Saturday in January. (Insert mad scramble to check emails).
For those of you in Barbados, we have been having a rainy January and that Saturday was a monsoon. Called Richanna to reschedule for another date only to hear, "Oh no.. my makeup is done" That is international language for... We doing this shoot today.
We played the waiting game, hour by hour and pushed ahead. On location, we had a 15-second window before the monsoon. The sound of disappointment in Richanna's voice was strong, we had to reschedule. The following Saturday we were almost dealt with the same fate but the weather held up and we were able to have an amazing session. I had a great time with these two, thank you Richanna and Kyle for giving me the opportunity to capture your moments.
A little of what went down
Sheena and Girlfriends…
The way I see it, if I have photographed you more than twice... you are my client. You would have seen Sheena before with her family, this time Sheena is back with her girlfriends and they were a crazy and fun bunch to work with.
Somehow Sheena managed to find what I would have to call the most deserted place in St. Philip to shoot in for this session. However, it made for a pretty cool spot to shoot, I never would have found this place during this century. It has now been geo tagged.
Sheena called and asked about my availability in July for a shoot with her and a few girlfriends, we confirmed the date and time. Before the session started they said " we not models, so you have to pose us"... "Just relax and go with the flow and enjoy the day, you are here to have fun"
Honestly, I must say, it was a good session, I still think they're crazy!
Thank you Sheena for allowing me to record your memories.
