Shout out to all the Twilight Fans!

OK, most people who read this probably know that I am a HUGE Twilight fan (yes, I am one of those people). Well I have been anxiously awaiting the release of the movie and guess what? Today is the day! Me and all the people I have gotten into twilight (some found it on their own), are going to see the late show tonight and I seriously cannot express my excitement! Here are some movie stills I jacked from the web...

The E Family

NOTE: I shold be in bed but once I start with the blog, I can't stop!

Last weekend I had the oppertunity to photograph the "E" family. I know this family through church and have been secretely hoping to get to photograph their beautiful children, so I was so excited when I was asked! It was really cold out. Thank goodness kids don't mind the cold!












Oh to be a child again!

Three boys and a little lady!

I had a nightmare last night that as I was photographing this family, my lens fell off and broke. I am glad that my nightmare didn't turn into a reality and I was able to capture these images.









I always insist to get a picture of mom and dad alone. What a cute couple!

Three ladies and a cute little boy!

Thank you Shelly for having such awesomely cute kids! I had a fantastic time photographing you guys today! I just have to say that Max is adorable and I couldn't resist putting multiple photos of this cute little man!








My favorite one!
This is my favorite!

I'm Back Baby!!

Alright, I know its been 2 months since my last post!! To be honest, I haven't done any photography in the past two months... It was actually a nice break since I had been going full speed ahead since March. Well 2 months of nothing, and then, all of the sudden, in the past week I have booked 5 jobs!! I think its getting down the wire and people are starting to realize they only have a few weeks left to get their Christmas photos done!!

Today I did two photo-shoots which both were amazing! First, the weather was beautiful! After a week of freezing cold, we got a day of 70 degree weather! I think God must have been smiling down on me because I couldn't have asked for a better day. Additionally, I discovered a new park which was also ideal for the photo-shoots. The thing that made it even better was that both families had the most amazing kids ever. I have to admit, I was a little nervous to photograph 4 kids under 8 (in each family), but they were wonderful. I did bribe them with candy, but I think they would have been just as great had I not. I have almost finished editing the photos and will have a few posts up shortly!

Being a Better Blogger

I have been told by a few of my friends that I do not blog enough, and that they want to see more pictures! Well I am very flattered that people read my blog, and want to see my photos, so I will try my best to provide you with current images. The past few weeks have been slow (which has allowed me to have a much needed break), but I have several shoots in the pipeline, so I hope to have new photos up very soon. I can't actually say that I have taken much of a break. Last week I attended an inspiring wedding photography seminar put on by David Jay (Wedding photography is definitely my next step), and went to a lecture on how to start a small business last night. This may sound weird, but I am actually really excited for the business aspect of photography and the idea of "owning" my own small business. My second love is finance, so this will put myself proclaimed "Personal Finance Guru" title to the test. I do realize that business finance is a whole different ball game so wish me luck!

Portrait

Below are some portraits I took for my good friend. She used to be a model so the shoot was very easy! I tried to be artistic on the color photo. I know it is not technically correct but I like it!
