New Blog

This started out as a growth blog, and I've been blessed to make friends with some amazing photographers who have really helped me to grow and to expand, and everyday I am amazed by the generosity of others in helping to teach me. I still have SO FAR to go to be where I want to be, but through this growth I have realized that THIS is what I want to do. Maybe it will always be a big hobby, but I have FINALLY found a hobby. For me this is huge because I have never liked anything well enough to let it be a hobby. I thought I was a lost cause ;)
With that said, and with the encouragement of others, I have decided to start building my portfolio. I got myself a website (you can see it here), and have offered some free sessions to help me grow more and to fill that portfolio with some better images, but in addition, I wanted to start a new blog to go along with all of these changes. So please visit my new blog here!!

Thanks again to all of you for your support and love and encouragement.

A Family

I photographed this family last week. I am more and more inspired by my sister everyday when I see what she does and goes through for her boys. She is a single mom and her oldest has Autism/Aspergers. For more information about Autism, please visit

Ciao Baby

I just wanted to say that all of you with little girls in their lives need to check out http://www.ciaobabycakes.blogspot.com/ Seriously, isn't this the cutest stuff? My daughter is going to be decked out soon. Woo!

Last weekend

Did I mention how lucky I am? Last weekend I got together with some photog friends and we had some people come model for us. Here are some from that day. It's been a blast to see how everyone's pix look so different from the same "sessions".

Maternity

Perfection

Okay, not my photography, but this little girl with the red curls is. I just drool over "A". We got together to do maternity pics of Mom and tried to get some in of "A" too. We should have done her before mom, because after we were done with mom, she wanted nothing to do with the camera. Plus we were at a park with water and lots of grass, so that didn't help either. :) :) Also, please ignore the big ol' proof number on these...I'm finding no motivation in going back and removing the number (yes, my true colors come out).

So much in love

I love seeing these two together--you can't help but be happy. They have been married for over a year and still look like two lovebirds. It's so nice to see two people adore one another so much!
