May 12, 2008 – 4:16 pm

Okay guys, There are only 3 days left so get those last minute entries in! Just email your unique story to : giveaway@arunab.com Here is a link to the details: Free Photography Giveaway!!!

Also, I’ve had a couple of questions on specifics so I will clarify a few things.

Q: What are the winners responsibilities?
Winners are only responsible for feeding myself and possibly a second shooter the day of the wedding. Travel/Lodging within the continental US is included as part of the prize package. Winners are also responsible for smiling and laughing, which hopefully I think they can handle :)

Q: What specifically are we getting in the prize package, does it include a wedding album?
Here is a break down of the prizes:
- Full wedding day coverage
- Choice of Aruna B. doing a Engagement Session, Bridal Session, Boudoir Session, or Day After Session
- Photographer Travel, Lodging to/from your wedding locale
- Wedding Album at cost (meaning you get to buy the wedding album for what it cost me to make it)

Please let me know if you have any more questions, I will try to answer them as soon as possilble! Good Luck in the last few days! Look for the finalists on May 20th!!!!It’s going to be soooo hard to choose.

No post should be without images so here are some other images from Jen’s bridal that I fell in LOVE with. Enjoy!

    love these and I recognize that wall I think! I esp love her hands in the last image, great work!

  2. Therese   -  

    OMG, the picture with the bride against the wall is soo cool - mysterious, a little gothic, classic. It looks like it was shot in Ireland. Aruna, if this is how good you are and you haven’t even been doing this for a year, I’m scared to think of what your pics will look like in another 5 years!

  3. aruna b.   -  

    AWE you guys are so sweet! Don’t be too scared therese, cause I can’t wait to take your pics as a blushing bride…doh! hopefully sooner then 5 years! heheheh

  4. Rachel Epstein   -  

    It will be so exciting to see all the finalists! Best of luck to all contestants and I can’t wait to read their stories.

Holy Crap was this difficult, not in a bad way…but in a “man she is beautiful mom and I can’t decide which ones to put on the blog” difficult. So here are some immediate favorites. I think I will make a gallery on my website about this session. Enjoy!

Julie’s Maternity Session Sneak Peek

May 6, 2008 – 10:38 am

Julie is due in 7 days!!! she is such a beautiful mother. I can’t wait to put up more images from the session. We had an amazingly fun maternity session, but I do have to apologize for making her crawl all over her lawn to get this shot. The idea popped into my head because their lawn was SO green and I wanted to get the perfect backdrop for it. I think it was worth it though. Thanks for putting up with my ideas Julie, there are many more great shots to come :)

The Cutest Kid EVER.

May 5, 2008 – 2:22 pm

I swear this is going to be the cutest thing you have seen in a while. I may be highly biased since this is my nephew. I always thought it was so cheesy when people said “oh I could eat you….cause your so cute”. BUT now that I have a nephew that is the cutest thing ever I have had that statement enter my mind and then said outloud. I have also had times where I want to grab him and start smooching his cheeks. Poor little guy, I know my sister feels the same way…2 highly affectionate aunts that just want to eat him. This is him enjoying his sucker. see what did I tell you - uber cuteness.

Camping in North Carolina

April 29, 2008 – 4:41 pm

So I was out for a couple of days for the first camping trip of this summer! yeay! My camera smelled like campfire when I pulled it out of my bag today. So funny. It only rained one day…I have a love hate relationship with camping…I love it until it starts raining and then I hate it immensely. I can’t complain though it was a nice 85 degrees there most of the time. Here are a few BW shots from the trip. I went with my friend Elizabeth who loves bluegrass/folky music, the purpose of being in NC was actually for Merlefest 2008, I had never heard of the festival before the weekend, but it was really fun. The dancing tent was AWESOME, if you ever can try Contra dancing DO IT, you’ll get really sweaty but its so fun.
