The Seven O’Clock Hour
Usually I love the seven o’ clock hour in the morning. It’s not as tiring as five or six o’clock, feels a little bit like sleeping in (for me!) but still early enough to be productive. This morning, I wasn’t a fan of seven o’ clock. In fact, I loathed it. I cursed the part of my brain that controls sleep habits. (Hey, that’s the best I can do, I ain’t no science geek!) I tossed and I turned. I moaned and had a stern talking-to with my brain: Listen up Jamie Delaine’s brain, Jamie Delaine’s body shot two weddings for 20 hours in the past 48 hours and you better give it some more rest.
My brain ignored me. I found that incredibly rude. So I’m up. With two nights of six-hour sleep in a row. Plus I woke up with a full-blown cold. Scratchy throat. Achy body. Dangit. For the past six months I’ve been a-braggin’ to everyone that I haven’t had a cold since I left school in December. Schools are a breeding ground for germs if I ever saw one. Well, I’m not sure WHO gave me this cold, but when I find that person… I’m going to tell them what’s what!
That is… If my brain can even form a coherent sentence at this time. The odds of that are not looking fabulous.
I shot six thousand frames at these past two weddings, but here’s a quick sneak peek of Lynn and Ian’s Saturday wedding. Lots of fun new stuff coming up for Jamie Delaine Photography, as well as blogging these two great weddings–so it may be a few days longer than usual!
Get in touch with Jamie or view more of her online portfolio.
What gorgeous light! I love this photograph. I think it’s start of flu season, just got over being sick myself. Hope you feel better soon!
I love this image Jamie! Hope you feel better soon. Hugs from So Cal!
Hope you feel better. Get the flu shot, it worked for me last year. Great pics.
Gorgeous lighting in this one. I hope your cold is soon better!
I love how you write. It makes me smile, every time. I’m sorry your brain isn’t functioning correctly… I’m sure it will pass. Either it will pass, or you will pass. :) Can’t wait to see what you have in store!!!
Feel better Jamie! I’m sooooooooooooo excited to see everything that you’ve been working on! It’s going to be ridiculously fabulous. I just know it.
Feel better soon. I find after a busy weekend I wake up feeling like I’ve been hit by a mac truck. I hope you get lots of rest.
Beautiful photo. The lighting is so purrtee!
Oh my gosh, your writing makes me laugh! Feel better, and get some solid shut eye!
