• First up would be some changes to the blog and website… Did you notice my little sun heart logo has gone into retirement? I kinda miss it already, but the time had come for it to be put to rest.  The story behind the sun heart actually came from when I lived in Arizona.  Phoenix is referred to as the Valley of the Sun, so when you add a little love, a sun heart logo was born. Well, and I also had 2 keychains from the Coach store that overlapped on my keyring one day forming a sun and a heart… So it was kind of meant to be.   It really represented happiness, love, sunny days, everything that made you feel good, but it didn’t necessarily compliment my photos and sometimes distracted from the elegance, so with a fond goodbye, or adios as I sometimes say… I’ll find a new use for you sunshine!   But… Please know I’m still the same sunny, happy person you know and love!  Some bigger changes are coming so check back and hopefully the transformation will be complete in the coming month.

• Next I want to send a big hug to all my past brides that gave me such great reviews and made Burnett Photography one of the recipients of the 2010 Brides Choice Awards! Thank You Girls! I once won a haircut in the 2nd grade, and it was BAD, (notice the capital letters) so I’m not much for contests, but I was honored that my brides said such sweet things!  I love each and every one of them!

• I was having a conversation the other day about canceled weddings and how it is better to cancel the wedding if you know it isn’t going to work out. Which got me thinking…  I went back though all my brides and guess what, every single one of them is my friend on facebook, AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS STILL MARRIED!   WOW… I’m at 100% over 5 years and I like those odds!

• Then there is my friend David Dismukes, who loaned me his old school Nikon film camera today!  He even gave me 3 rolls of film, now THAT is Southern Hospitality!  Look out people… This takes me back to the college days, well, except I’m not developing these in the darkroom, using my teeth to open the canisters and loading rolls of film in to spools all by myself.  I’ll leave that to the professionals.  Thank You David!

• Lastly, and because blog posts are way more fun with pictures…  I’ll leave you with a shot from a wedding  a few weeks ago…  Ashley and Owen were absolutely amazing and their friends and family were a blast!

I decided with a move across the country from crazy Arizona to traditional Alabama, it was time to change it up and stay true to my style and make my website fit more with the fun way I approach photography.

The blog has undergone a slight upgrade and will be changing around as well, so don’t too surprised if it changes a few more times before the makeover is complete.

So stay tuned for a complete re-launch of Jamie Burnett Photography.

And here are some images of the real thing… Well, almost, I ordered this one as a sample, so it has my logo on the back, and Trisha & Dan will be receiving theirs very soon!!

Style is huge part of who you are… like what you wear, and what kind of art you hang on your walls.  I can say my eye is drawn to bright crispy images, but artistically I love to see movement, emotion and and a sense of timeless style.   When I shoot a wedding I put a lot of thought into framing and technique.  Occasionally I shoot an image and I know instantly how I want it to look after post processing.  One thing that has drawn me in is the process of making new photos look old, vintage anyone??  There is something about an image that appears classic, shows film grain, and tells a story or invokes thought.  Unless you go back in time, you most likely won’t be shooting grainy film images in black and white, so the process of looking old has come full circle.  What is new, can now look old.    Although the vintage trend is not for every image nor every bride, it’s a style that adds a special classic look to a select handful of images. What do you think of making new images look old???

I will leave you with a recent image…  preparing for her honeymoon.

Here’s Daddy making faces to get Grayben to laugh… I’m laughing, and I’m not even a baby!    Sorry guys, I couldn’t resist!

Here’s a behind the scenes shot, talk about paparazzi!
