Seeking…

I started reading a book recently that was recommended. 
Strike that, wasn’t recommended.  Wrong book, but right author.  I didnt realize that it was the wrong book until I was well into and came to a part, that I know would never have been recommended.  Immediately, I was like man oh man.  This is definitely the wrong...

The Good things.

Relish in them.  Seek them.  Find them. Soak them in.  The Good Things.
This week has been a doozy for lots of people I know.  Sadness that school has started.  Deployments. Illness.  Frustrations of the new routines.   Drama.  All kinds of things have been out of whack this week for people I know.  
As a lot of you know...

Hello Nature.

As we are driving along our trip after this and this and this and this and this Tony is amazed at how I can STILL be in awe of trees.  “I just am”, was my normal response right after, “You are not from my part of Texas.” 
See in my parts we barely have enough rain to keep the...

Checking in…..

….Here is my update from THIS POST  Seeing how half the year is over. Not really sure when that happened but it did.  August is here and almost gone.  I wasn’t sure I really accomplished any of my 2010 Bucket List.  Time has really just flown by.  I thought I see how I am progressing :
1) learn zumba.
2) update...

I’m glad she did…

She wasn’t planning on having her image taken.  She was “just” the grandma at the session.  Oh yes, {grandma}, of the four little munchins in front of me.  She thought she was only there to help if she was needed.  I had another idea in mind.  I told her to let her hair out of...

A trip to the past…

 After the HOMECOMING and STONE MOUNTIAN and the LIGHTHOUSE we took a trip back into the past. 
I knew it was going to be a great day when the first image I see is this….

Colonial Williamsburg was spectacular.  I really was in my dream world of imagery.  The textures, the lines, the clothes, the simple way...

Keeping watch

For me, I think I would of loved living back in the day.  Waaaaay back in the day.  When it was cool to be light and not sun tanned.   When the women wore those puffing dresses showing off your waist and hiding everything else.  Big floppy hats were the thing to wear . I am talking...

The Family Mountain…

Back to our journey out East…Days after Tony’s HOMECOMING we started our three day trip back to where he just flew in from.  I was the professional “sitter”, he was the driver and Emmy was the designator bathroom spotter. 
First stop…The Family Mountain.  Also known as STONE MOUNTAIN.  We saw the signs and had to check it out. ...

Get out there….

I can not tell you how often I hear, “if I only had a good camera.” I mean I have even said it a time or two.

When we moved into this house recently and I was trying to figure out what travel photography images I...

A homecoming

Where to begin..I guess the best place is to start when Tony came home.  Seeing how I look at his homecoming as a new chapter in my life.  A dash in my timeline on life.  You know what I am talking about right?  We all have those moments, those experiences, that leave a mark.  Like when...

If I had a penny…

She didn’t think it would work.  There was no way we could do a session out at their place. 
I hear this a lot from clients.  You know the saying…”If I had a penny for every-time I heard that”…  Well this is the statement for me. “You want to do the session at our place.  I...

We like to move it…

move it…move it.
or rather we call it…”shake it!”
That is our thing. 
Em loves to dance.  I love to dance. We love to dance.
I always have and hopefully she always will.
She had her very first dance recital this past weekend. 
I have to say she really surprised me.  They had a little mini routine they did at Christmas and...

A Day After….

Why do a Day After Shoot? 
One simple reason…they ROCK!

The details…

Me and details go hand in hand.  I try to let them go.  I really do.  But deep down inside I am all about the details. 
When I am at a wedding, I go for the detail shots.  They give a hint of the personalities behind them.  Like here….

 Sometimes they tell the story of the past. ...
