Tea Time

I drove past this field of yellow flowers and I knew right then I'd be back to take photos. So a few days later I loaded the van with the kids table, tea set, and stuffed animals. Jordan was so excited for her photo shoot which makes me happy because she may actually cooperate while I'm photographing her. While I set everything up Gavin and Jordan went to explore. When I called Jordan over to take pictures she said, "No, Mom, I want to play bamboo swords with Gavin." Grrr! I was able to get a few before she ran off again. This is my favorite. I'm in love with the backlighting and all of the yellow flowers!

Thanks

Thanks to my sister, Amy, for helping with these sweet girls. She has a magic touch and was able to get 2 month old twins posed and sleeping! You are awesome. Thanks so much for your help!

More of the "M" Family

Love these. They would make a great storyboard or look nice in a collage frame.

Too bad the pictures lose sharpness by the time I upload it to blogger! Frustrating.

Scrappy Side

A Little About Me & Photography

I have always enjoyed photography. As a young girl I remember driving my parents crazy always using the camera and begging them to pay extra for one hour processing. Thank goodness for digital. I love the instant gratification being able to see the photo instantly on the back of the camera. One day I made a cute little tutu and had my daughter model it for pictures. They were some of the best I had ever taken. As I looked over those photos I thought, "I want to learn more." Since then I have taken courses and joined photography groups for knowledge and support as I learn more about photography. Thank you to all of my friends and family who have patiently allowed me to practice on them. Thanks to my sister, Amy, who joins me in this learning journey. A big thank you to my sweet husband who supports and encourages me in all I do. There is so much satisfaction when I capture that perfect shot. I want to capture the everyday moments in a beautiful and creative way. I want to document the ordinary. Like the saying goes..."Enjoy the little things in life...for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things." I hope to record the little things with my photography. Little moments captured forever. It's like time in a bottle.
