THE BLOG HAS MOVED!!!

So long, blogger!! I have now upgraded my blog, and moved all of my old entries here to the new one! So, if you have this blog bookmarked or linked, please change it to:

www.photomomentintime.com/blog

Head on over to check it out, and to see a special I have up to introduce the new blog!!

Changes with A Moment in Time Photography!!

So, if you are friends with me on Facebook (which you should be!), or if you have checked my personal blog, you have read that Zane and I are moving to Abilene! We are really excited about this transition!

For those of you that are in Lubbock that are scheduled for a photo session or a wedding - Don't Worry!!! I will be driving back and forth as much as needed to make sure that I am there for every event that I have scheduled. For weddings, I plan on getting a hotel for Friday and Saturday nights so that I can make sure to be there for rehearsal dinners if that is part of your package, and make sure that I won't have to drive back to Abilene really late after a reception.

For those of you that I met at the Abilene Bridal Expo - I will now be in town! Give me a call or an email if you would like to get together to talk about your photography wants and needs!

Our house is currently on the market! Zane's new job will start on April 6th. I will be staying in Lubbock until our house is sold. If anyone has any questions, feel free to call, text, or email me! We are so excited about the move, and would love if you kept us in your thoughts and prayers!

Kristen and Aaron, continued!!

Here are a few more engagement pictures of Aaron and Kristen!!

Sneak Peek - Kristen and Aaron

Here is a sneak peek of Kristen and Aaron's engagement session from yesterday. We had an absolute blast! Check in at the end of this week for more from this session!

New Gear!

Sorry for the lapse in blogging!! After the Bridal Expo in Abilene last Sunday, I came down with the flu!! Now that I am starting to get back on my feet, I thought that I would announce a few new purchases of mine!

A few weeks ago, I got three new lenses. For all of you photographers out there, I got a Canon 50mm f/1.8 as my first. I haven't ever shot with a prime lens before, and heard from basically everyone how wonderful they are, so I thought that I would give it a shot! I got to use this baby on Dean and Amanda's engagements below! The first few pictures were shot with this lens. The second lens that I got was a Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4.5. The rest of Dean and Amanda's engagements were shot with this lens. I had really been wanting the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8, but for the price I just couldn't beat this Sigma! I had also heard that only 1 out of every 3 or so of that particular Canon lens was ultra-sharp, and so I am glad that I went with the Sigma. It is super sharp, and 1/3 the cost! Last but not least, I got a Tamron 28-200 f/3.8-5.6. This probably will not be on my camera for most weddings, but outside shoots like families and engagements, it is great for! Many of Scott and Krystal's engagement pictures were shot with this lens. It has a great wide to telephoto zoom that makes it great for sneaking in to get a close shot! It should be really helpful for getting pictures of always on-the-go kiddos!

Then, last week I ordered this new baby...


It came in this past week while I was stuck in Abilene, so I still haven't seen it yet, but it is a Canon 5D!! I am really excited to have this camera, and can't wait to use it as my main camera, and have my current 40D as my backup!

Then, for my belated Valentine's present I got a ShootSac with the Baroque cover that is made by photographer Jessica Claire, along with two new 8GB SanDisk Extreme 4 CF cards! My mother and father in law gave me one of these cards for Christmas, and after one shoot with it, I couldn't believe that I had ever done a shoot without! They are so fast and allow me to shoot photo after photo with none of that awful lag time!

(Both of those photos were copied from Amazon, as I haven't seen my 5D or ShootSac in person yet!!)

I also photographed Kristen's bridal portraits the Thursday before I left for Abilene, but you will have to wait to see those until after the wedding in a few months!! Her engagement pictures with Aaron are coming up, soon!!

Dean and Amanda

On Monday, I had an engagement session with Dean and Amanda! These lucky two were the recipients of a free engagement session that they won from Lubbock's Bridal Fair back in January! They should definitely receive a gold star somewhere because our photo session that day was COLD and WINDY!! But, we braved through it and came out with some great images!!

By the way, I LOVE comments, and would love if you wanted to leave one for me or Dean and Amanda!

Scott and Krystal Engagement Session!!

Here are a few from Scott and Krysta'l's engagement session last Thursday. Keep checking back as I have another engagement session tomorrow and a bridal session on Thursday!

Krystal surprised Scott with giving him his wedding ring during our shoot! It was so sweet! I am working on a collage right now to document this sweet moment for them.

I hope that you enjoy these pictures as much as I do!
