Jumping back in...photography style

All righty!  I guess I'll get started :)


A little back story...


About 6 years ago, I was very into photography.  I worked with an old Nikon 35mm in all black and white film and LOVED it!  Then I graduated, started my career, and the time to exercise creativity seemed to slowly dwindle until it was completely obsolete (post for another time, but finding a work-life balance...not an easy thing to master).  So anyway, a few months ago I decided that I needed to "re-connect" with my creative side, and I started back in with photography.  And all was well in my little world.  


Then one of my best friends asked me to be her wedding photographer for her beach wedding in September.  Of course I couldn't say no!  She was one of my original favorite subjects (we were dancers together and she was always up for anything) - what fun to shoot her again!  So I said yes.  And then I panicked.  Holy freaking moly - what was I thinking?!  I haven't taken pictures for real in forever...years even!  I had better get to picture taking.


Over the past few weeks I've been diving in, head first.  J and I bought a new camera (Cannon EOS 40D DLSR - *love it*) which has allowed me to truly step it up.  Here are a few shots from this weekends excursions to Lookout Mountain and Piedmont Park:
