Event Photography

I'm a social person so event photography gives me direct access to different personalities.  Event's are fun! Each event has that person who absolutely loves the camera and somehow ends up being in most of the photos. It doesn't bother me though because it keeps me busy and entertained at the same time.

I recently accepted a photography assignment for a 3 generations family reunion.  It was nice being a part of such a huge reunion. Of course I was on my feet for 5 hours making sure for many years to come, these families could relive that day again and again.  When you enjoy what you do, the adrenaline keeps you going.

With each event assignment, there is always something or someone worth remembering.  In this case, ABC family reunion honored members of the family by way of ceremonial certificates, the young people in their family who are are have furthered their education. Each recipient, after accepting their certificate, took us on their college experience journey, including progress and future plans. The recipients also thanked family members for monetary donations. It was quite the experience and I am honored to have been apart of it!

We live in the digital age and most of us have cell phones that take good photos, I get it. I have a Galaxy Note 3 and I can't live without it! The use of camera phones however temporarily takes you away from the now because you're trying to snap what's happening around you. I know because I have a bunch of photos in my phone and I'm not in them! While you're fumbling with your camera, adjusting the focus, zooming in and out, hitting the wrong buttons and trying to keep a steady hand in an effort to get that shot, everyone was apart of that perfect moment except you. Unfortunately that moment has passed.  Put your cell phone, tablet or iPad down, get in there with everyone else and enjoy the festivities while I capture every precious moment for you, professionally.

For events, I provide to the client all images on a disc. Also, onsite printing services on premium photo paper size 8x10 is available for additional purchase for persons like me who live in the now and need the tangible.

Call Gem in i for your next event!
