This was an EPIC session! We traveled out to Josh + Chelsea's home in Memphis for this shoot a couple weeks ago...we shot in over 13 locations, had 5+ wardrobe changes, and shot for over 3 hours! Josh and Chelsea were amazing, and luckily the rain held off (it actually started up about 30 min. after wrapping).

In photography it's very rare that the shot you end up using is the first shot you took. A good photo kind of grows organically in the moment and many times that growth is captured as well. But you never get to see that evolution, us photographers just show you the best one and rarely reveal the 30 other shots we took before settling on that one. Photo Evolution is a how-to blog series where I go back to some of my most recognizable photographs and reveal evolution process by showing you the shots that led up to me getting the one I really wanted.

I'll be hanging it all up this Saturday and the shop is throwing me a reception a week later on Nov. 14th. The reception goes from 7-10pm , we'll have food, wine, coffee, and live music from the beautiful and talented Rae Hering!
