More Little Isis

It's hard for me to believe that Dawson was ever this small. Not only was today a great experience for me to continue evolving as a photographer, I also got my "cuddle a teeny baby" fix. She was just soo scrumptious! Call anytime if you need a sitter erin, I mean it! :)

Princess Isis

I still get goosebumps just writing this... I had the most amazing opportunity recently. My friend and coworker Erin just had a beautiful baby girl, Isis. The planets aligned, and it just so happened that I was able to meet her at the hospital after work to get a few shots of the new little angel. After having my son, I get so excited for new mothers. There is something absolutely amazing about witnessing first hand the entrance of a new life into this world. I feel so blessed that I was able to be there to capture a moment in time that will mean so much to Erin and Jay.

Camera Class

Word spreads fast. Several of my coworkers have discovered that I am now "doing photography on the side". It seems strange to say. It's such a mixture of passion, learning, and struggle for additional income. I had soo many people approach me about learning how to use their camera, I decided to go ahead and put a class together. I love photography, I love teaching, I love sharing with other people the things I've learned that are interesting to me... this class was just my style. I put together an outline, bought a door-prize (tripod), and even made little place-setting keepsakes (mini bottle of lens cleaner and soft cloth). Although only 4 of the 10 expected guests arrived, I think it went very well. I am planning to do another on July 31st.   As long as people keep asking, I'll keep teaching!

The Twins

What an adventure! So I had been working with Miss Mollie to get our crazy schedules together... when we finally did, I decided to try my brother-in-law's "big lens" for some great bokeh. It worked, but it was not easy. Chasing two toddlers when you are zoomed in and holding a heavy lens, requires plenty of breath holding. It sure helps to have such adorable subjects :)
