Fall Fun

I LOVE fall. I've really been too busy to take near the amount of fall photos that I would like too, and most of what I have taken are still camping out on my card in my camera waiting for me to find the time to do something with them, but here are a few early fall photos that were taken at the Fall Festival in Missouri Town. If you have never been, it's a fun thing to do...especially with kiddos. I will admit though that the scenery is so beautiful and there are so many great barns and rustic buildings that I was sometimes dreaming of coming back alone so I could get all of the shots I wanted without worrying about losing a child. Next year I will bring a helper.

Happy 4th of......August!

Ok, so I'm a little behind, but these firework shots are worth waiting for. They were so much fun to take too!

Wonderful Winter

The photographer in me has been dreading winter.
I didn't know what I was going to take pictures of
all season and thought for sure I would be going through withdrawal. However, not having any outdoor photoshoots has forced me to
get creative in finding subjects, practice using my speedlight,
tripod and new lens. I still don't love winter and am counting
down the days until I am on the beach in Florida (even if it's not
exactly toasty there either), but I am learning to embrace the opportunities it has given me and am now confident I will emerge
from it a better photographer.

This and That II

Just some random favorites I was playing around with this morning while my family was sleeping. That's what happens when you are already shopping at 5 a.m. and get back home by 6:15. Gotta love Black Friday!

This and That

A few of my favorites so far.

Now taking volunteers for "practice models". Kids, families, individuals, pets, you name it!
