My evolution of event photography: from weddings to authors

Monday, May 16, 2011       •       3 Comments

This isn’t a new development. This author event photography, I mean. After all I come from a journalistic wedding photography background where you document everything. Even the little details. (Oh, how I miss weddings!)

So I love, now going to WAY less stressful and just as fun events and taking photos. I love capturing some fun moments like joke and teases and just a good time (see: Smart Chicks)

And even shoes. (Can you guess whose these are?)

 

So recently I had the amazing pleasure and opportunity to meet and hang out with some of the coolest authors in YA. If you ever get a chance to go to any one of these ladies’ signings you SO should.

Terra McVoy is a home town girl here in Atlanta and I love seeing her. But at her awesometacular event and launch for her third book SUMMER OF FIRST AND LASTS she was even more fun.Why? Because there was a talent show! And ice cream! And a good book and reading from Terra herself.

Lauren Myracle also a fellow hometown girl (she grew up here) was OH SO CUTE! Ok, not only is SHE cute but she doodles when she signs your book. Who does that?

And a few weeks before that, we had the lovely Lisa McMann who’s so photogenic (I did her author photos and all her pictures turned out awesome!But more on that later.) but she was also an incredible sweetheart and I loved getting to know her a little bit more. She’s good people, y’all!

So now with BEA 2011 around the corner you can bet your bottom dollar that I will be with camera and lenses in tow photographing the whole event. All three days. All the signings (as long as I have battery!). All the booths and books and people! just like I did last year.
