I do remember when I graduated from high school oh so many years ago. I do remember the excitement of getting older and doing things on my own. I do miss the thought of the endless possibilities....

This one had quite the style and was not afraid.... I loved her confidence and her shopping addiction. It made the outfit changes that much more exciting. To see what she was coming up with next.....

I just had a great time. This is the best time of year because the lighting is so perfect for so long. Just like graduating I love the endless possibilities of my life right now. There are so many things to look forward to and I seem to be finding my own way lately.

The internet is not always such a bad place.

I am addicted to finding new music to listen to. It could be old to everyone else but if it is new to me I just can't get enough. Right now the fave on my ipod is this guy....I am in love.....

I am also in love with this man's photography. I love reading his blog....it makes me want to live life a little differently taking nothing for granted. And make everyday like words to a song. I am in love as well......

love, love, love........

I would love to hear of any photography blogs that are your favorite or clothing stores or music....Lets share the love!

I love a new lens....

Now I know that a new lens does not a photograph make.....but it sure does flippin help. It mixes things up... It changes perspective a little.... makes everything feel fresh. It helps taking pictures of pretty people as well. I mean dang....

I am really loving this location. I love this grove of trees. Makes you feel like we are in some secluded place in the mountains instead of off the highway in a dirty field. I could see its potential. This will be a new favorite. I do have a great friend who does some of the dirty work for me in finding locations. He is good. He has an eye for it and it is fun to wonder what he will come up with next.

This is the first time that I have brought Carly with me to take pictures. I wanted her to help with Ava and I think she did a great job. I really should include her more in the process. I have thought lately that maybe she would like to learn, but if she never tries how will she know if she likes it.

Getting to know the families lately that I am taking pictures of is so much fun. They are all so adventurous and unconcerned about the weather and their hair as I am. And Ava what a doll.

Yesterday was just a wonderful day. From my parents coming to visit to helping friends move. I also love that I have friends who will come out to see my seven year old play baseball. It really means something to me. I love baseball season. I love the families coming out to watch and our coaches who are so wonderfully supportive. I love then taking pictures in the rain and bonding with wonderful families. Then I love coming home to a wonderful family and a home cooked meal and a movie.

I do love a giveaway!

So I am posting a link of a site that is having a great giveaway today. A Uno Dvd by Lauren Clark. I am also then entered in a giveaway for the Love Affair workshop that I would love to go to.

I was going to die if it didn't stop raining.....

I thought it was going to rain and I was going to miss this.... I thought the blooms would be gone, I thought this couple might not be able to meet with me again for a while and I wanted to take their picture. I have wanted to use this hat for a while and thought that she was the perfect candidate.

These two are absolutely stunning to me. They are funny, sweet and they were so fun to be in here with! I have been eyeing this place for a while. Daniel and I went on a little location hunt and ran across and I absolutely knew it would be perfect. Daniel has caught the fever for finding the right place we find it definitely a challenge. We have been thrown out of places, stared at, laughed at but none of that never really matters. I just love to take pictures.

Since I have not been studying photography for long. Some things are still such a challenge for me. The right light the best angles and positions. One thing stays the same for me that I really cherish the time that I get to spend with each person that I come out with. I never knew that it would become one of the best part of the picture.

These pictures I am going to use for my website which I will hopefully have up in a while. Just waiting on a logo. I never wanted to have a business but now that it is here I want it to be the best that it can be. I hope they love the pictures as much as I do.
