Gorgeous collaberative albums coming. Outside of commercial work, shooting is slowing down so that we are all in the office doing amazing things together. I really like this time of year.

PJ & Ginny's wedding almost ready. This is a great example of what happens with good planning on a pouring rainy day. Can't wait to share.

I have so much to show you all. How about this shot for now. This will make a great future horizontal album spread. So to celebrate the coziness of upcoming winter weddings I thought I would post this shot. Winter in my mind liberates you from having to shoot outdoors exclusively. Many albums to share coming up. +

Your wedding photography skills can be used to shoot anything right?, fashion, portraiture, product, and architecture photography are all used on a wedding day. When it's not a wedding day, you get to plan your shoot time right? Makes commercial photography really simple. This is the sunrise today here in Seattle.

OK, I guess since I have a day off, I'll give it to you.

For all those of you who come here to get inspired. I am going to do something for you. Why? My philosophy is simple:

We photographers are given this ability as a gift. We are to do 2 things with this gift. Serve our clients to the best of our ability (every ounce of ourselves), and to teach others so that they may do same for theirs. My wish is that you can have the same success that we have had so that you may pass it onto others as well. The best part is that along the way, we all will feed our kids and enjoy this amazing life,... doing what we love. This gift. Pretty cool eh?

SO....That which I know & that which was taught to me by others, is my duty to pass onto you.

YOU, are to pay it forward... please.

I am currently writing an article to you for the newsletter. (want to receive it? please email: jim@jgarnerphoto.com with Subj: photographers mailing list)

My topic is: The single most influencial component of what we do to make the images, album, and our clients experience....EXTRAORDINARY.

Please post here any other questions and I'll do my best to include them as well.

Recently I have been showing you a lot of albums shot in urban locations. We love the experience our couples have when we start or finish downtown. We fully enjoy our garden weddings as well. I wanted to show this wedding that was shot primarily at the one garden location on a local island. This album is simple, clean & classic. Perfect for this couple. The images here are the double page spreads of their album 1st draft. Enjoy

I'm finally getting to know you.

Thanks so much for the comments everybody. Those of you who check back here once in awhile understand what we are all about. We have been very blessed with this awesome job for almost 10 years. We still feel fortunate every day to do what we do. I want to get to know those of you who come here to learn a bit. Perhaps you come here to get inspired. Perhaps you've been shooting for awhile, maybe just starting (this is especially for you) I want to know you. I would love to help you (with my freetime) I want to see you grow. Do me a favor. Just send a simple blank email to mailto:jim@jgarnerphoto.com and we'll include you in all our growth at a different level.

I have some gifts I can't give you in this basic forum.

TO: jim@jgarnerphoto.com SUBJECT: Photograher Mailing List.

Best to you guys!

Jim
