Welcome!

Thanks for visiting my blog! If you're a client looking for your sneak peeks, note that I normally have them up within a few days of the session, but at times it may take me up to a week. Remember to click on the picture to see it bigger, and feel free to nab these for use on Myspace, Facebook, or emailing to friends and family (but note- these are web-sized images, and not suitable for printing. Also, please do not remove my watermark. I'm proud of these images and want everyone to know I took them :) I make it small and discreet- and I'd rather not have to put a big, obnoxious watermark across them instead... So please help a girl (& the rest if my clients) out and respect my copyright! Thanks).
If you're a prospective client, make certain to visit my website for more images and info. There's a link in the sidebar. Please contact me with any questions or to schedule a session: gypsyisledesigns@yahoo.com. Thanks again for visiting and enjoy your stay!

Introducing the New Mr. & Mrs. Gilley!

Summer and Josh are so fun to work with! She definitely knows how to work the camera- and he adores her... so they are definitely a photographer's dream to shoot. They were wed on April 5th. It was supposed to be a beach wedding, but Mother Nature didn't quite cooperate and they had to move to their back-up plan (which is a GOOD reminder to ALWAYS have a backup plan when dealing with ourdoor weddings!). I know Summer was very disappointed at not having sand between her toes while she said her vows- but the green grass, vibrant from all the rain, really made a lovely backdrop to their day! And the cloud cover made my job even easier because I didn't have to worry about harsh shadows. So, surrounded by their family and friends, they were married in front of a beautiful fountain (the rain stopped just in time to have an outdoor wedding afterall!).

Both sets of families were lovely... with lots of VERY cute kids runnning around (though I never got my shot of all the kids sittting on the fountain- darn!). Her bridesmaids were beautiful and fun, and his groomsmen were too (well- maybe not quite so beautiful ;)). Anyway, they have been VERY patient while waiting on me to get their sneak peeks posted... But, hopefully these are worth the wait :) I promise I will post more next week!
