Yardies a home and a farrin - Part 26!

[JQ Smiley BOOM 3]

Good to hear that your niece will be fine and I hope you'll get well soon. Do you want twins?

Wasnt planning on it

But I'll take what the man above gives me

JQ: Just try to relax and pray. Twins! Wow! Does twins run in his family or yours?

He knows of twins no where in his family

My grandmother had twins with the 11 pregnancies she had but they passed. Not sure whats behind it never asked her. No one ever with the rest of her kids or grandkids had twins

That really sucks

Maybe she didn't know what the rate would/should be...

I know that I am super paranoid about finding a photographer... to me it is so important that the photos be good. I just don't know how to screen photographers, what the average cost is, how to FIND photographers to screen....

Average cost can range from anything from $500 or so to $4000.

What I would do is Google photographers in your town.

Then, CHECK OUT their portfolio. You MUST see they have weddings in their portfolios. Then, if they don't have an ENTIRE wedding on their website, ask to see a few.

I would say look at at least 10 photographers.

Make sure you are happy with ALL of their work, not just the odd nice photo here and there.

Again, try asking family members, work colleagues for recommendations.

I know I can't afford her airfare, hotel and fee

I know airfare to Cali is a bunch from here....but maybe something would work is finding 4 or 5 people/families who want photo sessions done the same weekend as your wedding and could do them!! Costs would be greatly reduced.....Otherwise, I can definitely work on finding a Cali photographer that I think does nice work!!!

Thanks girl

Sure wish I could get other people in on a photo shoot... but with the visa thing and not knowing when he is going to get here, it's hard to convince others to commit to a photo shoot sometime in the next 2-6 months. LOL!

Appreciate all the suggestions you have! Even $500 seems expensive to me right now

I mean if this was a NORMAL wedding and we had a year to save and plan it would be different... *sigh*

I know God will bless me and it will all work out as it should....

Morning, All.

Why did I RUSH to work this morning for a 6:30am meeting with someone in the United Arab Emerites... only for him to not show. He accepted the meeting just yesterday, so that was too short a time ago to forget.

Also, yesterday I was having the most back pain EVER. It felt like the rib cage on the back right was severly bruised. It hurt to take a deep breath, it hurt to move an arm across the body, even talking hurt sometimes. Today it feels a lot better, but there is still some pain. What I couldn't understand was what caused this pain... but last night I think I figured it out.

A word of advice: Don't try new positions where all your man's weight is focused on a small part of your body (esp if he's gained over 30 lbs).

I need to go read back & see what DaDa was talking about where she needed a pump & a leg was in the way.

this is by far the FUNNIEST shyt I've read on here in months!!

Next option is, see if there is a college near you that offers photography as a major and if they do, call up and ask for the photography course tutor and ask him to recommend a student, that could work out incredibly well...I would still want to see a portfolio...Otherwise, you could state the price you are willing to pay on Craigslist....I would BEG you to let me vet the applications before you choose someone though!
