Movin FAST....

I love that my Photography tells a Story. It's not always about getting the "Right Moment" , but getting what's in between that Moment. Everyone is different. Sure you can Match, Color Coordinate, Dress Up, and try to be Someone you're not... but why go through all that trouble when you just want to remember the REAL Moments?
Like in this photo for instance. You can clearly see that not everyone wanted to Jump on my count of three... (pause for a Smile) ok... I can't help but smile when I come across this Photo. These are the moments that really show and that you'll remember. Did he jump eventually? YES! and I think he had a good time...

So now you're probably wondering why I titled it "Movin Fast" right? Well... let's just call her "MOM"... she was one of my fastest moving clients ever....lol. I know she'll probably read this and start lauging, but I was sweating!!! Every shot was like BOOM... BOOM.... BOOM... over here.... BOOM.... now here .... BOOM... Seriously. and my oh my was it WINDY! You can't really tell in the photos, but they were COLD.... Burrrrrrr. Anyway, I'm so happy I got to capture some really FUN family shots for them, and I'd do it again and again and again. Thank you guys for such a Great Day!

He's born to Love my Camera...

Everyone got settled in nicely. Charlie is home and he is loving the chaos. The chaos of 7 other kids running around at all times...the chaos of his Auntie wanting photos of him... oh, and my singing (which he loves). Anyway, I finally got to get some great shots of him for my sister. Let's just say that this little boy is going to love my Camera!

Delivery Room

So I just realized I should have posted this a while ago. I am really surprised I forgot..... No... Not really, but I am doing it now.. so here I go...

We were all anxiously awaiting for Little Charlie's arrival. This was my sisters fifth child and not to mention (between the two of us) our 8th delivery at this very Hospital. Gosh I love this Hospital. Anyway, it's still so crazy to me how you live with this little life inside of you for 9 months (well actually 10) and you leave with this precious life in your arms that you can't imagine Life without... then they turn 3 and that's a whole other post.... lol.

How Sweet it Is....

I know arranging a photo shoot for the family can somewhat stressful. Well, maybe for a mother that is. You have to get the kids ready, convince the hubby it will only be an hour or so (we might even say 30 min.) and then it's your turn. By then you're probably sweating, going down your checklist of what eveyone is wearing including yourslef, hair, makeup while checking the clock every five minutes... Feeewwwww.
So I get to meet you after all of this... YAY! Let me just warn you... The plus side is, you should feel totally comfortable around me. The down side is, I Talk A LOT. lol... but you get some Natural, Fun, Fresh photos that are well worth all the prep. Have fun with it!!!


SHOW ME THE LOVE...

{ Hi-5 }

So my sister is pregnant with child number FIVE... and I have found what I want to do for the rest of my LIFE... We must have a photo shoot! So I'm a bit late, and no other child has a maternity photo shoot... That might make it a little better, for mom that is. If I had a maternity shoot with every child, I'd probably be comparing my body in each photo and then go into a slight depression. I must say that She looks so beautiful and no words can describe how amazing she is. I am so happy she's my sister and I HEART her like crazy!

Sweetest Thing~

I Love referrals... but when you come across a client that just so happen to pick you because they saw your website... WOW!!! I mean ... WWOOOOWWWW! That is always such a Great feeling. Makes me feel like I'm doing Something RIGHT... and I just got goose bumps. Seriously. I don't have many photography friends I can call and ask if I'm doing something right or doing something wrong... I don't have another Job to fall back on if this all doesn't work out... and I definitely don't have the funds to just go out and by a lens when I want. This has all been ME. Putting my Heart, Soul and Brain Cells into everything.... and speaking of Heart... This little girl has a piece of mine. She was the sweetest little thing and was kinda my little buddy for the day. Which made me realize, how do you shoot someone that will not leave your side? Hmmmmmm. I've never had that problem before... but it all worked out. Thank you Rocks!
