I am posting this here as well as on the new blog…  This is to important to only post on this blog, as it will not be available to long.

I lifted this from Beckers blog with his permission of course. ” class=”wp-smiley”>   I feel exactly the same way as he does about Haiti.

From his blog:

Like the rest of the world, my heart is heavy for the situation in Haiti right now. The images I’ve seen via Twitter and CNN have been so moving and I wish there was more that I could do. It’s incredible to see how generous people have been and I love that technology has made it even easier to donate money to help those who’ve been affected by this tragedy. Almost immediately after the earthquake hit, you were able to text “Haiti” to 90999 to instantly donate $10 via your phone bill.

While I think everyone should at least donate $10 via the text method, if you are able to donate more, Apple has made it easy to do so through iTunes. If you already have an iTunes account, the already have your credit card number, so it just takes a few seconds and a couple of clicks to donate more much needed money. Click here to donate through iTunes:

It’s good when people can put politics aside and come together in times like this:

Thirst Relief International has been a charity that the photo industry has been involved with for a few years now, and they are passionate about providing people with safe, clean drinking water… which is something that is necessary for sustaining life and something we certainly take for granted in America. Haiti is in desperate need of clean water and you can make your donation though Thirst Relief here:

Mashable also published a guide on how to help in Haiti. Please share this post and please, please, please, at the very least… text “Haiti” to 90999.

I have been learning the wonders of wordpress this past week and I have started a new blog hosted on my own website.  This “new” blog is still under construction, but has been updated with all the 2009 events and photo sessions, and a few other goodies.  It will continue to grow over the next few weeks as part of the website makeover that I am currently working on. 

The new blogs address is http://blog.robertsphotographers.com 

Stop by and check it out, and please feel free to comment on posts and send me your thoughts on the new design.

Also in the works, a new, separate, family and kid session website!

Thanks,
Jamie

So, over the next few weeks I am going to be gathering some fresh images from weddings, engagement sessions and family sessions and revamping the website a bit.  We got some great images from this past season so the refreshed site should look better then ever!  Stay tuned to this blog, the facebook page and www.robertsphotographers.com for the changes!

Melissa and Mike’s engagement session!

Melissa and Mike are getting married in May and we got together last weekend to grab some shots for their engagement session.  They are getting married in Baltimore, but they wanted to take a stroll through downtown Annapolis for their E-session.  Annapolis is great place to shoot with all the small nooks where you can shoot, and while walking around we found some new off the wall spots to shoot so it was fun for me to try some new things.

There are no discount codes to enter in the cart. All the pricing is already there.

THANKS!!!!

Katie and Walt’s engagement session!

Katie and Walt are getting married next July, and they wanted to get their engagement session in sooner than later so we met up and did the session at Walt’s families dairy farm near Belair.  The cows were so friendly and fun to photograph with. I think they wanted their photos taken more than Katie and Walt and I had the pleasure of my first experience with an electric fence..LOL 

Alison and Ben’s day after session!

Alison and Ben were married back in September  (photos) and it had to be one of the wettest days of the year.  We all had high hopes of great weather so we could go all over downtown DC and shoot, but with the rain we were confined to indoor shooting.  The indoor stuff was great, but it really wasn’t what we wanted so we decided to go out for a day after session and get the shots we really wanted to get.  It took almost a month of rainy Saturdays and juggling Ben’s flight schedule to get the session in but the weather was perfect for the shoot and we got some great shots that will look great in their album. 
One other cool thing about the DA session was getting to walk all over the mall and have people saluting Ben, clapping for the couple and lots of congratulations and thank yous being said.

Enjoy the photos!

Mieka and Kieth’s engagement session!

Mieka and Kieth decided to have their engagement session at the beautiful National Harbor in DC.  From the awesome Gaylord National hotel, “the Awakening”, and cool shops and grounds you can’t help but find a great place to shoot.  Having a gorgeous couple so in love with each other to shoot is always a plus!

Enjoy!

Marina and Edgar’s engagement session!
Marina and Edgar met at the University of Maryland so we thought it would be a great idea to go back there and shoot the engagement session.  They are getting married next September at Grey Rock Mansion in Baltimore, so it will be a while before you see more of them, but I think they will be worth the wait.. these two are an awesome couple to work with and I can’t wait to get them in their wedding attire and get some more killer images!

The Durm family.
I had the chance to photograph the Durm family last weekend at Downs Park… They are such a fun family, and the kids were so much fun to shoot… Just let them run around like crazy and capture the frenzy in photos.
