A Little Bit of Nature Goes a Long Way

Ahhhh, I just love beautiful things and beautiful places. Who doesn't, though? I have had such a great experience living here in Georgia. I've seen beauty at each place, and of course some close to home. Here are just a few of my latest favorites...

Here's to a promise of a new day...


Here's to autumn blessings...


Here's to serenity...

My First Tag Along Shoot

I was going through my pictures from the past few months as I backed up some other ones and came upon these. I was invited to join my friend, Rachael, in shooting these adorable girls. This was the first time I had ever done anything in the way of really shooting children and trying to accomplish more then a basic snapshot. I think they turned out pretty nice for a first try. Of course, if you'd like to see more, check out Rachael's blog.







Thanks again, Mrs. N. for letting me join y'all.

Shooting Around

Thank you to everyone who has been so encouraging and excited about my pictures. I'm having a ball and I can't wait to get out and shoot some of your kiddos and families. In the meantime, here are some of my newest favorites from a few random practice shoots and such, of course Drew is mainly the subject. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!



On the way back from our field and railroad practice shoot, I looked out my car window and had to pull over to capture this shot. I just love sunsets!



Just to show that I don't only take pics of my own child during these things, here's Mr. C. He's just precious, don't you think? And check out those eyes!



More amazing eyes...

Ballet Studio Shoot

I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot a friend's daughter at her ballet studio. Miss E is such a sweet 8 year old girl who was very cooperative and easy to shoot. This also gave me another opportunity to work on shooting indoors with an external flash.
Mrs. M, thank you for this great experience, I hope you like your sneak peak :o)









and the last one of your sneak peak...

First Solo Shoot

Well, I did it! I had my very first solo shoot and in order to make things extra difficult, it was mostly an indoor shoot with a large group! I don't know why I add the extra pressure, but it was fun and a great learning experience.

The S family is obviously very close and wanted to get some group shots around the Christmas tree to capture that. Thank you for allowing me to be the one to capture those memories for you. Here's your sneak peak :o)

Practice Shoot

Shooting children can be really difficult especially when trying to get creative shots. Rachael and I decided to do a practice shoot with our boys to try out some new props and a new location. We had a lot of fun and got some good shots even though the boys made us crazy. Here are a few from our day.















Ok, and the last one for now...

Testing Continued...

So, this is in honor of Marcela since she keeps yelling at me about my pictures being too large. So, I resized this one to 150dpi to quiet her for a moment. Hopefully it will still look as clear as it did at 300dpi.

About Me:

I'm a stay at home mom to an almost four year old and twin boys on the way. I have a passion for photography and I spend any free time pursuing this passion.

I live in Augusta, GA and we'll be here for another year before moving to who knows where, but I know it'll be an adventure no matter what. I'm sure there will be plenty of photo opportunities as well :o)

Thank you for stopping by my blog and be sure to check out the website, too.
