This week I had a blast shooting Sandra. I hadn't ever been to downtown Clearwater, but I'm glad she showed me. What could be better than a girl in front of a purple brick wall?!!

Factual Friday!
My fact for the week:
I started really loving photography when I was in high school. I liked it before, but the only camera I had access to was an old Polaroid that my Grandpa bought me at a garage sale, and $10 was a lot for a fifth grader to spend on film!
So, in high school, when the school started paying for film, I really liked playing with cameras. I had to do a scrapbook for FFA, and I helped out with the yearbook. That really got me hooked. I bought myself a Canon Rebel (film) for graduation from high school and that started the era of my family giving me dirty looks and saying, "Ellie, really, put the camera away." =)
I took a couple of black and white film photography classes at Florida Southern College, where I met this fun guy named Drew. I even got to be the lab monitor in the darkroom my senior year.
I swore that I was never going to go digital because I loved developing my own photos so much, but then Drew got a Digital Rebel during our engagement and I saw how great it was to see the results of your shooting quickly, instead of waiting for weeks.
When we moved to Tampa, I decided to give wedding photography a try and Kurz Studio Photography was born!
Have a great weekend!

Factual Fridays #1
I (Ellie) am starting a new blog tradition.
Fridays are going to be factual here at Kurz Studio Photography in Tampa.
"Are you normally lying, then?" might be your query...
No, I'm not normally lying. I just want to share more about who I am, so that you get a feel for me as a person not just me as a photographer. =)
So, I'm going to share a fact about myself. This week, I'm going to share a fact about my other half as well. We'll see if he's reading. Yes, we will.
Okay, here I go!
I am, at heart, a teacher. I taught pre-kindergarten special ed before I became a mom. I love working with kids. Especially the ones who are the biggest underdogs. I even got a masters degree in special ed, in hopes that I would do a better job of helping.
Drew is a web designer, at heart. He likes working with code and making beautiful pixels. He's good at it. He made the Kurz Studio Photography web site.
So as not to make anyone feel left out, I'm going to include Eli this week. Eli sucks his thumb. The left one. Does that mean he'll be a lefty?

Engagement Photos: Odessa, Florida
I got to meet the cutest couple yesterday. They suggested doing their engagement photos in the backyard, and it really turned out great. Caylee and David make for the BEST pictures!
See what I mean?!
