We are Switching to FaceBook

You might have noticed we haven’t posted a whole lot on the blog recently.  To be honest, we have been very swamped with wedding season coming to an end and all the seniors and babies we been photographing each week has really been adding to the work load.  We even hired part time help to allow us to catch up.  So, to simplify things and keep you updated we are going to start putting all posts on our Facebook Page.  Make sure you add Giraffe Photography to your friends list and become a Fan of our page!

Matt & Jessica Berlinger were married at Augie Chapel in Rock Island.  They opted to do a moment alone before the ceremony which freed up a lot of time for portraits.  The nice thing about doing things this way is you won’t be as nervous before the ceremony and your guests will not be waiting as long for you to show up to the reception.
