I have to admit- I absolutely love it when I can tell a couple that someone (a website/blog, a magazine, an organization) loves their wedding images so much that they want to feature them.  I love what I do, and I love all of my couples.  Each and every couple I photograph has a beautiful wedding, and I appreciate it when other people (who haven’t had the chance to get to know my fabulous clients!) recognize the beauty of their special day.

When that recognition comes from a website dedicated to educating and creating community among photographers, it’s even more of an honor.  So, I’m honored to say that two of my images have been featured by Clickin Moms- they are two of my favorite images ever (one from a wedding in the Dominican Republic, and the other from a Fourth of July wedding on the coast of Maine), and you can see them on the homepage of Clickin Moms.  Speaking of Clickin Moms, if you are a photographer (pro or amateur) and you are looking to join a wonderful community, head on over to their website and check them out!!

So many forums out there are aggressive, slow-moving, or take pleasure in ridiculing people who are just starting out, but Clickin Moms is a breath of fresh air for the thousands of women that have fallen in love with this online community.  As you can see from the screenshots above and below, it caters to all kinds of photographers all over the world!  And best of all, it’s one of the nicest online communities committed to online photography education!

Thanks for reading!  Have a wonderful week!

Over at ShootStyle (for those of you who don’t know ShootStyle, we are a photography organization committed to education and fun!) we run an Assignment Series every few months.  It’s open to everyone- pro photographer and amateur alike- and it’s a fun way to interact with other pros and get your creative juices flowing!  And occasionally we have some really incredible prizes to give away, too!  This month our subject is Silhouettes, so dig through your images (or get out there and shoot some new ones!) and enter!  For more info, click here.  Here are a few of my favorite silhouette images from the past few months:
