A good buddy and business partner and I are working on the new justincaryphotography.com… If you’ve noticed www.justincaryphotography.com simply directs you to www.cary-studios.com, this will no longer be true. cary-studios will be shut down and have only a link to direct you to the new and improved site. I’m happy to announce that I will be taking on more photography jobs in 2009 as I’m going to slowly seperate myself from all of the other distractions that keep me from shooting full-time.

So, with that being said, have a happy holiday season! See you on the flip side with new and improved webby goodness!!!

I would have never thought of renting a lens… but now that I’m shooting so many weddings and supporting my family it’s hard for me to buy the tools/toys that I need to get the results I really want to get. I have stumbled upon a company out of ATL that rents just about every Canon lens ever to hit the market. I can’t wait to get my hands on this lens for my upcoming wedding this weekend. Talk about possibilities! For a photographer a fast lens like the EF 85mm f/1.2 L II is an essential “available light” lens. I love shooting with my 50 f/1.4 but it’s no 85mm. We’ll see what comes of this $100 rental for the week, good things I hope!!!

So, I can’t say my life is complete… but my job sure might be. I downloaded the newest release of Lightroom (2.0) Beta test today. I cannot believe how far this program has come. If you are unaware of what the modern day wedding photographer goes through, I’ll shed some light.

I show up early in the morning… Snap off my first 500 photos hanging with the Bride and her girls getting ready and doing what it is they do to prepare for the biggest day of one of their dear friends lives! I download the card before arriving at the Ceremony and start over fresh. By the end of the day I have 1500 or so photos to edit and prepare for the newly married couple when they return from their honeymoon.

With Photoshop it was impossible, with early versions of Lightroom it was doable. Now, it’s on… If I could shoot two weddings a day I would but there some issue with me being one person, or something of that nature.

I can’t wait to put this program to the ultimate test, but the day is upon me very soon… this weekend in fact :) Adobe, keep doing what it is you do to make our lives and jobs more efficient!

So I’m a nerd, Shut-up!

I’ve been really bad about posting lately… I’ve been so busy shooting that I haven’t had time to do the important stuff like keep everyone updated on my life, my family, my work and all that jazz. Kayla is currently working towards her Vet. Tech degree and scored a perfect 100% on her first Anatomy and Physiology exam!!! Jace is so close to crawling it’s annoying… Not in a bad way, in a way that we are so excited we just want him to take off and do it already!

Wedding Season has started and Seniors are scrambling to get their photos for their graduation announcements. I recently had the opportunity to work with a Christian Solo Artist from Nashville, TN. I shot his promo photos and designed his CD Album Artwork. What an experience…

I hope to put a photo post up soon…. well, maybe I’ll throw one of Jace up on this post, I’m tired… OK, let me dig through the archive… There’s one.

Until next time!

A little hard to get around with the ice and snow but the photos turned out great nontheless!!! I had a great time shooting your photos can’t wait for the wedding!

Today I had the pleasure of shooting a good friend of mines family photos. He has a beautiful wife, Sara, and a little baby girl, Hazel. I don’t shoot a lot of family photos but I sure had a good time today. Thanks Paul!

For all you Seniors, Friends of Seniors and Parents of Seniors, I am running an awesome deal! I am not charging a Session Fee and have all new packages and pricing. It is safe to say that you will be getting a much larger bang for your buck! It’s worth checking out!!!! Please pass on the word! More affordable competitive pricing with the same great work connected to the other end!!!
