T + S In love session with Candice
So, like many mornings we are privileged to meet with "newer" photographers in our area. We usually get the email saying, "hey i am a new photographer, can I take you out to coffee". And usually we can fit it into our schedule. We L.O.V.E doing these meetings. They are super fun, and we get to know new people who are interested in the same things we are.... camera's. This morning we met with Emily and her husband. During the meeting I found myself saying the same sentence over and over again, so I thought I would share this simple, but pivotal point in the conversation. Emily asks, "how did you get to where you are today?" I reply (candice), practice. We take over 1000 photos a week, on our own time. If we don't have a payed gig (wedding, E-session, Boudoir) that week we will set up shoots with friends, or family members. Mark and I ALWAYS have a camera in our hands, or at least we try!" Probably to most you readers this is an obvious statement, so my question is why do we not all do this?
It is so hard to find the time to take 1000 pictures a week, but i had to make time. And it actually turned out easier then I had expected with all the client appointment we had lined up. I wanted to share a shoot I did this past week for some great friends of ours from Oregan. They are super duper cute, and they can model like nobodies business. Here are a few of my 1000 images from this week......

GORGEOUS shots!!
Beautiful shots! Love them!
this girl has fabulous style! :) and the images are lovely!
fun shoot! Do these people naturally know how to "work it" in front of the camera? Or, do you bring that out in them?

Candice, these are awesome pictures! I love the rich and bold colors with the surroundings. Thank you so much for meeting with us and being such an inspiration and encouragement. We are SO very grateful.And you and Mark are such a dynamic and fun couple. Blessings on you both!
Hey, thanks for your comment on my wedding...it was my first and seeing as how I had to shoot with a PandS I thought it definitely could have been better.
Love your shots by the way, you look like you have so much fun shooting!
Hello....um, amazing as always! Love the style of this couple and the photos - hot!
p.s. I LOVE that you guys take the time to spend with people that are new to the business, so cool of you. One day, it will be me paying for the coffee - I assure you ;)
I agree with Kristen that this couple knows how to work it! Great photos and I like the ring on a stick shot!
thanks everyone!!!
Kristin, we definitely bring that out in them.
Hanssie, actually there was no WE! :) Candice shot this all by herself!!!
Catlin, that is awesome that that was your first wedding! Just so you know you can rent gear pretty cheep... Just so you don't have to spend the whole day pulling your hair out with a P&S! ;)
these are SOOOO very gorgeous!! i love that you shoot in areas that i could find here in seattle & make them look so great in photos!! thanks so much for sharing, i'm off to "practice" :)
Beautiful couple and amazing images to show it!
It's a good point to keep on shooting! I'm with you guys on that.
I followed your link from my blog and I have to say WOW! I love your work! Great website and blog design too! :)
Rock it out, GIRL!!! :)
1000 photos a week?!? I think I'm doing good if I do ONE personal session a week! I use to take my camera around everywhere but ran into a few problems. I only shoot with primes, so I felt as though I had to take my lenses around also. AND, my camera is heavy and I can't find a bag I like to take it everywhere!
You have inspired me though, I need to quit saying that I'm going to take it everywhere and actually DO it!! Thanks for that.
As far as these pictures go, they totally ROCK! I love the sense of style in them!!
Those are amazing images! It doesn't hurt that your couple looked like pro models! :)
Really neat stuff! I like how you used the tower.
fantastic. and the ring shot... killer. //enoch
They turned out so great! Thanks for capturing Stephen's and my love for each other. We are so happy with them.
And thank you to everyone above that commented on us, the compliments are so sweet!

love the rings shot and the whole series after it. really cool stuff guys. love your creativity.
Amazing!! these are really beautiful!
These are super sexy and so beautiful! I love the yellow.
Sweet love the ring shot....
obviously i can't stay on top of blog postings even with google reader :o)
candice, these are great and thanks for sharing such wonderful advice and giving your time to others. the one that i *gasped* at was the bw power tower shot. with the lines and geometry it really adds so much to the photo. great eye!
Two words... total awesomeness!!!
Love that vintage feel. Keeping it real.
I love the 1000 images per week idea. I am just getting started in weddings and lifestyle photography, and my question has always been how to "get there". Shooting 1000/week will let me get practice, practice, & more practice! Thanks for the inspiration!
