Blue Skies

I have always wanted to capture sunrays but it never failed, if there was a perfect sky my camera wasn't with me. Yesterday, when I was on my way to scout out a new photography session location, I saw this and pulled into a random driveway and started shooting.

Unfortunately, I forgot to check my settings and my ISO was super high, which caused lots of noise. So I tried to save the picture by softening it. What do you think?

Then, while I was lugging around my daughters as practice photo subjects I looked up and noticed this.

I was SO excited to capture these! Thanks for letting me share.
Well, back to editing. I'll have lots more to share soon!

Pretty pics. The clouds have been amazing lately with all the nice summer storms we get. I think the softness of the first works since it's a landscape. Nice.

What Do I Do With My Photos~Scrapbook, Of Course! My first love is scrapbooking. Take a peek...

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.
