A Bundle of Nerves | Evie Curley, Greensboro, NC Children and Family Photographer
December 13, 2009
This weekend, I had a very challenging shoot. “Challenging in what way?”, you might be asking. Well, one of my local photographer friends had asked me if we could swap family sessions and I agreed. The thing is, whenever I shoot another photographer, it’s nerve-wracking. More nerve-wracking for me than shooting a wedding could ever be. I feel very self-conscious about everything I do on a shoot like that but this one was great!!!
Many of you who read here will recognize the subject of these photos. It’s the lovely, and extremely talented Andrea Halsey of Andrea Halsey Photography. She is very funny and doesn’t take herself too seriously as you will see in the photos here. In spite of the fact that we are technically competition, we have become fast friends over the last few months and it’s a friendship that I am really happy to be a part of. We get together and talk for hours and it’s really nice to be able to talk shop with her! Andrea, my husband says thank you for that. LOL What is awesome about our swap is, she got copies of the files and is developing them with her style and she generously permitted me to do the same. You will have to check out her site in the coming days and look for her post on what her creative take is on these same images. It’s fascinating to see how two photographers can do something totally different with the same image.
Anyway, I just wanted to share a few photos with you all here. There are so many that I really like and I haven’t even gone through all of them yet!! Andrea has a really sweet, patient husband and two gorgeous spirited children. I had so much fun with them and can’t wait for my turn in front of the camera!! Enjoy!!







I just love these photos, Evie. Adore. That last one just knocks my socks off. SO WONDERFUL!!! I can’t wait to see what Andrea does with them herself!
