Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

My try at the Christmas Tree.....

After everyone went to bed I stayed up to take a picture of the tree at 2:30 in the morning!    I tried to get that star effect.  Didn't come out as well as I had hoped but none the less, it's still pretty good for my first time trying the 30 second shot!  And my tripod definantly didn't help.  I need a different one for my Nikon.

Where, oh where......?

I have taken a few Christmas photos but am unable to load them to my blog.  I am Apple-less.  I t has been over a week that I've had to send my macbook in for repair.  I feel nude without it.  I miss it oh so much!  Once it is back in my hands there will be many new photos, that is if I haven't lost any!  When, oh when will they call???

Cameron's Baptism

I had the pleasure to photograph this little angels baptism.  She is so cute and was such a doll!  This is my favorite picture of Cameron with her Aunt Trisha.

"Little Red Riding Hood"

My favorite pictures from Sofia's first "Walking" Halloween.  

She had a blast that day.  We walked in the parade, 

which she danced the whole way!  

Then "Trick or Treat-ing" put a big smile on her face.  

It is free candy!  Priceless memories!  Oh how i'll miss her this small!  :(

WooHooo!!!!!

Well since being on here last, I survived the weekend in the woods!  There were no lights, many strange noises, spiders and let's not talk about the torrential downpour!  But it was all in good fun!  I learned so much in just three days!  It's crazy! And I enjoyed it so much that i'll be doing this in March again!  


And now i'm so excited again!!!!!  Sunday, for the first time, I will be helping/shoot an engagement session! Wooohoooo!!!!!  I can't wait to learn some more!!!!!

It's Official.....

I will be going to Comfort Zone Camp.  I am so excited! This is an amazing opportunity, and I for one will not give this up for anything. I will be away from October 23-25, I don't know how i'll hold up away from my family but we'll soon find out.  I guess it's normal to be nervous the first time you leave everyone for a few days.  But with nerves and all I still can not wait!

Sofia's Eight month shoot

These are just two of the few that were done in

such a hurry that I didn't even

realize that I was cutting body parts off!

Just goes to show, you can't rush your work!

Even though they're not the greatest pics

in the world my little girl will still be able to see

how much she actually weighed in at, at Eight Months..

BTW that's her actual weight at 

eight months, 23 lbs.

Spring/Summer 2009

                   

                 

I believe these pictures were taken in the late spring or early summer.  Sofia just loves to be outside as much as possible.  She loves to pick flowers and chase the dog, "Canica" around.  And I just love watching them have fun with eachother.  

Hopefully I get more involved with this blog than I did  with my previous one.

I will definantly be posting more pictures up once I actually process them!  

I'm giving this blog a go.....again!

How to start this off??? I love writting, but this is going to be difficult!


I have loved photography for as long as I could remember.  Ever since the first time I held a camera I was hooked.  I'm not much for posing "for" the camera but making sure I catch all those special candid moments in my life!  This blog is going to be dedicated to my family, which is my life, my pursing of my photography career and just photography in general.  I love the way that you can capture a moment, make it stand still in time and look at it later on down the road and you know exactly what was being said, the music that was playing in the background, the emotion that was felt.  


My best photography subject lately has been my little girl.  When I became pregnant I knew instantly that she wasn't going to be so tiny forever, so I wanted to capture every minute possible.  So here come the camera!  I must have posed her in the oddest objects, so many wardrobe changes. And let me tell you, my little Sofia "Hates" putting on clothing.  So you can just imagine all the screaming every single time I would change her!  But when she gets older she will thank me for taking the time to take all the pictures.  Well at least I hope she does!  You will be seeing alot of her on here!

Well with all that being said I hope you enjoy my blog!  Let the pictures and learning begin!
