(and yes, if you were wondering… I am obsessed with the Beatles and he is obsessed with America, seriously.)

So, who is this Walter guy that I always talk about? I bet, a lot of my blog readers have wondered this, and there is a good reason why. I just realized I never actually introduced him to my blogging world. As I was trying to think of what to post today, I came up with a great post, however what I needed was still packed. I just moved back to Belmont today, and since I was tired, half of the bags and still in the garage! Then I remembered Walter and I went out the other day before a wedding I was going to shoot and I decided to take some pictures of us. As a photographer, I should have good pictures of us both, but of course we have never had any pictures of ourselves, even close to professionally taken. The closest we had is arm-length self portraits I have taken of us. Well, we decided to go out and set up the camera on a tripod, and I took the photo with a remote in my hand. I have to say it is really hard to take pictures of yourself, half of your pictures do not focus on the right place or turn out right. I much would rather be behind the camera getting to set it up myself.

Who is Walter? He is my absolutely, amazing boyfriend of 4 years, 9 months, and 3 weeks (since July 19th, 2004). Ok, that was a total joke, I never actually count and I just spent that last 3 minutes trying to figure it out. Basically he is my boyfriend of 5 years, like I always say. He is an amazing musician (www.walterburks.com) and I am absolutely the proudest girlfriend ever. He is also very supportive of my photography business and is my incredible assistant at every wedding and almost every photoshoot. He helps me carry my equipment, organize people during formals, and load’s my cards onto my computer. He is also my lighting guy and carries around my lights and stands everywhere I need them. I do not know what I would do without him at weddings, he is absolutely essential. I just wanted to introduce him to the blog-world officially, especially since he is my assistant at all my weddings. I also wanted to show off that we actually do have 3 decent pictures together, and the real reason I am such a romantic! I am very sorry for never actually saying who Walter was, and I hope you enjoyed learning a little about us.

Well, I am officially back in Belmont, if you want to book a session! That also means, I officially have more time. I am finishing editing an amazing wedding, my designer is working on brand new look books, and I have 3 wonderful blog posts scheduled on my iPhone to post this week! So look for some great new stuff soon!
