I just got my new laptop, no more stealing time on my husbands desktop so I can photo edit, blog and generally compute stuff anytime of the day!!! I just have to get Photoshop actually installed and all my files moved over and I'm in business.
I'm excited for all that the summer offers. I have some maternity sessions, a few newborns (whom I'm sure will be ADORABLE) and some weddings already booked but I have time for more bookings still. I am hoping to have some successful promotions and get people excited to have their pictures taken. In the near future I'm looking to take some Sr. photos for some young people graduating high school this summer. So if you are a high school Sr. or if you know one please leave a comment or email me!
I should have more pictures up here in a couple of days once I get everything settled on my new computer. What are you excited to be up to this summer? I wanna know your plans, or send me your favorite past photo from summertime!

I decided to lighten up ...
... the background of my blog, at least :P
I think I'm already pretty light hearted but I thought I would give the white background a whirl. It should give the photos I post a different feel and I wanted a bit of a change.
Post a comment to let me know what you think!!!

TOP 15 Things that I LOVE about being a photographer
I thought I'd make a quick list...kinda late show style :)
15) When strangers can tell I'm a photographer by all the bags I'm carrying
14) Being snap happy- especially on outings like family walks
13) Being confident enough to be "in the way" for a second to get the perfect shot at an event, then ducking out. It's kinda fun when it's socially acceptable to follow brides up or down the aisle :P
12) Playing with equipment..."hello, awesome glass, where have you been all my life?"
11) Playing with props, I mean who doesn't need 10 rustic baskets that a newborn baby can fit inside? And hats! Lots of baby hats!!!
10) Playing with wardrobe... Yes I have a case full of clothes for models...doesn't everyone?
9) The odd workout I get during a shoot- I may need to do more yoga.
8) The fact that my husband let me take over half of his "man cave" to set up my studio.
7) That on a whim I can get really great pictures of my own kids ... which reminds me I should do that more often.
6) Holding newborn babies. I would have stolen every baby I have ever photographed if I thought I could get away with it...or if I thought I had a big enough house for that many children.
5) Meeting wonderful people. Clients, models, other artist. I ♥ U!
4) Developing a craft that requires both technical knowledge and an artist eye. Its a cool art meets science thing and anyone who knows me knows how much that appeals to me.
3) Photoshop!!! Oh how I love messing around in Photoshop. I love to enhance the beauty that is there, I have no ambitions of doing "digital plastic surgery" but man can the correct application of Photoshop make an ordinary good image look stunning.
2) I am self employed! "Sorry, I'm busy with my family that Saturday but I can book that other time you are free." I can work as much or as little as the rest of life affords- which means if I'm out working I'm excited to be there!
What's the number 1 thing that I love about being a photographer?
Hmmmm
1) Capturing forever the deepest depths of love. No amount of Photoshop can alter the loving looks exchanged during shoots- I get invited into people's lives to immortalize those really great moments. It has been a true privilege in my life. I'm really very grateful to all of my clients for trusting me, I look forward to seeing you all again soon. And if you don't know me yet- let's hang out and take some awesome pictures!
