A step into Photography...

After many years of finding great enjoyment through photographing anything and everything I decided that maybe, just maybe I should try my hand at editing. So, I made my first attempt by photographing my brother for his graduation anouncements. I was pleasantly surprise and pleased with the outcome.... See a little for yourself....












After these pics he requested that I take some pictures of him and his girlfriend Valerie just for fun, so I did. The result....

A step into photography Part 2...

I had so much fun doing those pics, I just couldn't wait until my sister in law's wedding, which took place the beginning of June. My two beautiful children played part as flower girl and ring bearer... Which I might add they did amazing. Again, I took my camera along and snapped away....








Might I add here that my husband is rather charming in that suit... Yes, I am glad he is mine.








Please note: Objects in ABOVE picture are not as fat as they appear, well at least I hope they aren't....










As you can tell this was a military wedding with several of our military members, past and present, there in uniform. I solute you all, and thank you very much for all you have done and will do for our country. Bill, though a veteran himself, opted not to dress in uniform, but rather just wore a veteran's pin. Very beautiful wedding to say the least.

Lastly, I just recently attended a wedding for the mother of a dear friend on Sunday. They asked me to take some pictures for them, So of course I couldn't decline yet another opportunity to do what I love. This was a much more casual wedding than the prior one, very laid back and relaxed... Here is a sneak peek as I have not had much time to dedicate to the editing process...











Ending with the beautiful bride, face filled with pure happiness. Congrats Lora and Larry... More photos to come of your special day!

As you can see, I far from professional and have a whole bunch to learn about the trade. What I can tell you is that I feel so elated anytime I pic up a camera and even more so as I sit perfecting the moments captured. I have a great passion for doing this and hope to have many more opportunities in the future to do so.

If ever interested in having me capture your family, my price list is as follows:

Mommy/Daughter Day...

Bill and Sam went to look around Cabella's, and Brenna and I opted to stay home. Not sure about you, but been there once, seen all there is to see, don't feel the need to re-visit regularly like Bill does. Quite frankly Cabella's bores me, so we didn't go. LOL Brenna said she wanted to make cookies together instead, so that's just what we did... Pumpkin Chocolate Chip! MmmmMmmmmmMmmmm I just stood by and told Brenna what to do and she did everything by herself. She was so cute, and so proud of her cookies.

PAINT (before and after)

Well, I am FINALLY done painting my living room. There is much touch up that needs to be done, but that will have to happen slowly. Here is a little before and after of the room. Please note that the pictures of the after are NOT with the room decorated. I need to hang pics, and put out decor still. :)

Laundry day....

Laundry days in my house usually consist of me and kids lounging around in our jammies, watching cartoons, reading books, and just taking it easy. For some reason, yesterdays laundry day was pure and utter chaos. The kids were just MONSTERS and I wasn't too gitty myself considering the math workload I had for school yesterday. I thought it was rather funny that amongst the two loads of kids laundry I did, I pulled these out of either the washer or dryer...




Apparently the laundry was full of chaos as well .... Kids are grand (time to check their pockets)!!!

Sister's...

We had a family Christmas dinner where I was summond to take a pic of my mom with her sisters... I just love love love this pic of them! Each of them in there true element... no false smiles... It's real, and you can see the love between them.
