Little Cuties...

Here are a few photos from a shoot I did yesterday for a friend.

Photobucket

Photobucket

The coat and scarf belong to my little girl but can I get a good pic of her in it? Nope. You would assume I had a ton of wonderful pics of my children but no! Bribes are no longer working and it is driving me crazy. My children will no longer humor me so I have to borrow my friend's kids, lol.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a great day. My sister and I are meeting for a practice photo shoot, hoping to capture some nice photos of each other and our kids. Wish us luck! We have two toddlers and a 6 month old in tow. Should be interesting!

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.
