Go Shoot something!!!

On days like today, where the kids are busy playing, the house is clean and the hubs is at work. I always begin to feel restless!! I dont know what it is... maybe just the simple fact that I am an over analyzer and always have been. I feel I want to do more and more and more.. lol But maybe Ive hit a plateau and just need to change career paths... When I get in these moods ( I guess you could say moods) Something in the back of my mind tells me to pick up my camera and go shoot something... anything!!! And when I do and I am pleased with the outcome it reaffirms my passion... I need that today. I need to get out there and shoot something~!! Because thats what I do... Im a photographer!!!

Happy Mother's day to all those wonderful moms out there!!!

Man, what a great holiday to celebrate. Mother's day!!! Can you Imagine a world without Mommy's? I most definitely cant!!! Mom's are the ones who help mold who we become. What a job! They help create the future. I dont know how I would of survived without my Mom growing up. I probably would of ended up even crazier than I already am. I hope one day my own children are as grateful as I am for the sacrifices made so they can grow up to be healthy, stable adults. In my job I get to meet fantastic Mom's all of the time and it really makes me feel blessed to be able to give these women something to hold onto their babies forever. We all know they grow up way to fast. My Mother's day was awesome! The hubby let me take a 3 hour nap and took the kids to the park! Who woulda thought the gift of sleep would of been the best gift ever? I know when I was a kid I dreaded naps, now I cherish them. The little things are what means the most. So today, I am celebrating all the mom's I come in contact with every day! Thank you mom's I hope your mother's day was as awesome as mine..

Boys!!!!!

Well this past weekend really tested my skills. I had 2 sessions with all boys. Boys are so fun! I think i burned 5000 calories during the 2 hours i was shooting :) So full of energy! But Both families were beautiful, I was so blessed to be able to give those families memories that wouldnt soon  fade. And at the end of the day that is reason I do what I do! Children arent predictable and you still have to be able to capture every smile, frown, emotion and keep it fun all the same time.. Quite a responsibility I carry on my shoulder's. I hope I meet all of their expectations and more :) Here is my favorite photo of the first session of the day. I will add my favorites of the second when I finish editing them.

Getting ready for another exciting weekend!

Well easter portraits the past few weekends have been a huge success! I am soo excited and blessed to have been getting so many new families wanting portraits! I even have a couple model shoots comin up in the Next 2 weeks! Tomorrow's 2 sessions will be in my home studio, I don't know why I get so nervous doing studio sessions. Probably because everything has to be a certain way ( lighting, props, backdrops, everything) and if you don't have it all just right your whole session is no good. Location shoots are easier haha atleast for me. But this year is about growing as a photographer and really mastering
Y skills. I've definitely been given the chance, now it's time to "strut my stuff". Here we go.... There's no time like right now!!!!! I'll have previews from these sessions coming tomorrow or Sunday! Hopefully the families enjoy their photos just as much as I will have taking them :) we shall see!!!! Until next time

Spring is in full effect... and summer's right around the corner!

Wow! Are georgia spring's beautiful or what? These 80 degree days have been amazing! I sure have been taking advantage of all this nice weather! The past 2 weeks have been extremely busy with 4 sessions. 2 Beautiful family's, a wedding and a little 18 month old little girl! How awesome! I dont know what I would do with my days if I didnt have photography to fall back on. I love my job!! Check out some of my favorites from the last few sessions and as always... Stay posted because more is to come :)

Here we go... Easter and 365

                                             My 365 project (check out more on my facebook page)

~My Babies Easter Pictures~

So exciting! I got to go to Riverwalk on Friday afternoon and it was so beautiful. I took easter portraits of my babies and I cant wait to get back out there for some more sessions. Also in the last week I have officially started my 365 project. Im hoping it helps me to continue to improve and expand my photography... In a field like this, you have to stay ahead of the game. Thats exactly what I want to do.

Nestled among the georgia pines......

Hey there well we are now living in georgia, and I have to say its quite the culture shock from anchorage ak or even ohio for that matter! Living way down here in the south leaves so much undiscovered and I cant wait to experience everything! In the photography world, Im just now starting to pick things up again after a few month vacation (more like settling in) Easters right around the corner so keep an eye out for new photo's showing off these beautiful easter pictures!!!!! Heres some stuff That ive been blessed to have been a part of the past 2 months since weve been here... enjoy :)
