I have dreams of being a real photographer.

You know, one who has people lining up to take their pictures.
Β 

One who has photography jobs on her calendar, booked months in advance.

One who makes an actual income taking pictures of people.

Yeah. I have a ways to go.

I would consider my sister and her fiancΓ©e’s engagement photos my first real photography gig.

I have to say, I’m pretty darn proud of how they came out.

They make me feel like a real photographer!

Like, fo’ real.

GuessΒ how many people and beach bags I edited out of this pic. {Answer: Nine}

What’s that you say? My sister is gorgeous. I know. π

Last one.

I lied. Last one!

Have a great day! π
Beautiful pictures April and the lighting is amazing! π
Thank you! We waited until dusk to do them, so that the lighting would be just perfect! π
Lisa looks beautiful!!! Such pretty pics.
Thanks, Laura! We need to get your doggy + mama photo shoot scheduled!
They are gorgeous pictures April! I love the beach and dock/pier pics especially… but that last one is so sweet too! They sure have a great selection to chose from. You did an amazing job!!
Thanks, Krista! It was a lot of fun to do! I feel like I learned a lot in one photo shoot!
We never did engagement photos, so you can come take some for me! We can pretend! π These are so gorgeous, April! (And I am way impressed that you were able to edit 9 people out of that shot. Woah.) What beautiful memories for your sister and her fiancee!

Thanks, Jen! My camera is a Canon Rebel, and I was using my 50mm lens! π
Incredible photos and I really enjoyed the ongoing commentary!!
Thanks, Melissa! π
Great photos! What a sweet couple π When can Noah and I come get momma & baby photos taken?! π
Anytime! π Thanks, Jess!
Love, love, love!!! Great job, April!
What great pictures! You will soon have people lined up for your schedule! Once your sister shows these to her friends and their friends show to their friends ……….. They are such a cute couple!
Beautiful pictures! I have always dreamed about being a photographer!
