Inspirations.

So I've become a HUGE photo blog junkie in the past few weeks...if I'm on the internet with nothing particular to do, I shortly find myself on someone's blog, either someone I've heard of or someone I haven't. I LOVE looking at other photographers' work for inspiration and just for the sheer joy of seeing how much a wedding photographer loves what she/he does for a living. It makes me excited and hopeful that one day I might be able to produce the kinds of beautiful images that they do. Here are some of the blogs I find myself going back to over and over again.

Red Photo Co. This company is based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba. I found it on facebook and have been hooked ever since...the picture of the bride in the rubber boots is so great I can't stand it. Scroll down close to the bottom.

Photogen, Inc. This is a Minneapolis-based photography company run by the talented Eliesa Johnson, a girl I went to high school with. Not only is her work fantastic, but we were friends back at OHS and it's cool to see where that talent is taking her!

Josh Solar Photo This is a husband/wife photography team from Kansas City. Their photos are so full of life and I love how they take a lot of pictures of their own kids because I know I'm going to do exactly the same thing when I have some kidlets running around.

Kelley Photo and Design Also based out of Kansas City, she produces stunning images with, what feels to me, like a vintage flair. Very creative. Just plain cool.

Stacy Cross Photography Her photos are beautiful and seem to capture the spirit of her subject, no matter who they are or what the occasion.

Heather Cole Photography Also hails from Kansas City. Friend of Josh Solar. Awesome photographer with a unique eye. Likes to say "MEOW!" a lot about her clients. Also likes working by fantastic old buildings - a woman after my own heart.

Jasmine Star Photography Amazing work. Period.

Angelica Glass Photography She's got a lot of sass and I like it.

Anna Kuperberg Photography If I had even an infinitesimal amount of this woman's talent, I'd feel pretty good about myself. Her work will blow you away.

Jesh de Rox And speaking of being blown away, I was absolutely stunned after I looked at this guy's work, in the best way possible. The pure feeling in his photos is more than I could ever hope to achieve in my own work. There is a true passion and artistry in what he does and it's without a doubt the biggest inspiration I've yet to come across. He has a fun, interactive website...check it out!
