Last minute shot....

cutest girlfriend ever...

I wish for every question I had an answer....

Life has gotten so puzzling lately that I don't even know where to begin.

Life never slows down. I also don't organize my time very well, so I waste a lot of it.

That is going to be my top priority this year is to learn how to use my day to the fullest. I think from now on I am going to start jotting down some of the crazies that happen into my life and relaying the stories here.

I am not going to start that yet so here are just few shots of the cutest senior ever. A lot of fun to shoot. Very casual, but we laughed a lot. Thank you so much like always for letting me spend the afternoon with you.

My fave...

It was hard to get him to look serious.....

My families fave...

Look at those eyes.....

Today the kids asked me to take them to the beach. I laid there in the sun watching the clouds go by listening to my ipod and thought this is perfection. The kids laughing and running around just enjoying the day. I thought it was surreal until I noticed what they were doing that was so funny. They were filling each other's pants up with sand. Just hilarious! It did not take anything away from my moment.

I had another day of taking pictures of this wonderful family. I can never deny how much I love a tutu. I was really nervous this time for some reason. I had to calm myself midway and tell myself that it was not the end of the world if I ruined every shot. The family is so wonderful and would have been forgiving but I really worked myself up. They were so much fun to work with and the boys loved where we took pictures there were sticks to hit things with everywhere.

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.
