"Sister, Sister" (Imagine me singing it like that show way back when)...

Can we stick our toes in... I really want to... oh, let's NOT get hit by a car... I LOVE this song... girl you are like a rucksack... just the randomness of two sisters!

A huge thanks for letting me take your pictures :-)  Here is your QUICK PIC[K]!

Crystal and Bella's QUICK PIC [K]!

Ok Bella, hug your mom.... but don't knock her over!   More to come, but I wanted to get a quick pic up for you to see!

A Unique set of eyes...

I told you that your eyes were unique Christina!  I played around with a template, but included the original photo too!



TIME TO OFFICIALLY ROCK THIS!

I have not been idle, I have been taking pictures! I promise!!!  So here's my update...

Ordered a lens, got it, wrong lens, returned it.  YAY MURPHY!  Ordered new lens, got it, and LOVE IT.  Big shout out to the hubby for supporting me in this!  Sooooo, started taking more pictures! 

Suprise 1- You know we love UGA, so be looking for a special pre game-day shot of your favorite Addi!

Suprise 2- A friend I met through God's intervention offered to do my logo for me, so I could get rid of the cheesy flower, and do something a little more sentimental.... what's sentimental to me??? look at the picture below and you will see it!  She rocked it for me, so a HUGE thank you to Brittany Dawson!

Suprise 3- I have been truly blessed by my neighbors who are allowing me to get experience and compose my portfolio using their kids!  Be looking for a few pictures coming up, but I wanted to share this one with you.  Thank you Ash for being my guinea pig!



The last of Charleston!

And back to Charleston... ALMOST DONE!

A few more pics of Charleston!

The last of SHOOT CAMP!

So here's our last model for SHOOT CAMP!  She was sooo fun to work with... she didn't care how dirty she got, and she did the most creative things!  Enjoy!

Who knew a parking garage could be so much fun!  Pics of a model during SHOOT CAMP!

My first maternity session... at SHOOT CAMP!

Abby, a child model we used for our class!

SHOOT CAMP!  Nashville, TN

Here is an idea... take a great picture and you shouldn't have to edit it!  So, step one in doing that-- learn how to shoot my camera on MANUAL... I know, scary thought.  So after an INTENSE day of learning, messing up, and occasionally scoring a great picture, I can officially say CIAO to AUTO NIKON!

3 photographers put this camp together in Nashville, and I have to thank Cristin Fanning for helping me realize my camera's potential!  The next few posts on the blog will be the models we had at the SHOOT CAMP!

A fountain next to Rainbow Row in Charleston, SC... followed by a house on our carriage tour.

Finally a flower bed overlooking the water in Charleston, spongified (if that's even a word!)

Forrest Gump anyone?

Photography (life) is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get!  A bench near Rainbow Row in Charleston, SC.

It's black... it's white... yeah yeah yeah...

Hydrangea picture taken at Magnolia Plantation in Charleston, SC

Ok, I'm beginning to understand why photographers edit so much!!!! I keep telling myself that I will get faster, but jeez... who knew there were so many fine edges to a picture!  Not quite as good as Michael Jackson's song "Black or White" but it'll do!

Watermarking without the water?

Soooo.... it took a while and I still haven't figured out how to put a ladybug on there instead of the already created flower in the program, but 'it'll do donkey.'  This picture was taken in the Magnolia Plantation botanical gardens.  If you are interested in buying a print, please comment on here and I'll get you set up.  Now that my watermark is done, for now... on to uploading more pics!

And so my journey begins...

-bridge in Magnolia Plantation taken during our vacation to Charleston, SC

I recently started doing a Bible study, my first one, and it is a study on interruptions in life.  It is teaching me to accept the fact that my plan is not always the plan God has for me.  With that being said... I feel like God is leading me into the field of photography.  I'm not sure why, or even how this is going to work... I'm one of those people who has to have everything laid out in front of me, but I'm going to take a leap of faith and I guess we will "cross each bridge as it comes."

I'm going to attempt to post my journey, for those people who may be having interruptions in their lives, and need a little feedback or positive encouragment.  So here I go....
