Making Changes

Hi Ya'll! Its been awhile since I have been up on here. Let me update you on my crazy life.

We were unable to re-enlist in the Navy in March 2011. Nothing we did wrong, just basically wrong time/wrong place/messed up paperwork. We ended up moving back "home" in with my parents. Since then we have been struggling finding jobs in this economy. I ended up going back to work at a Veterinary Clinic I used to work at. Its been a struggle adjusting to the working mom side of things. I feel like I miss out on everything my kids do!

My husband is the one struggling the most. Even with his great military experience behind him he is having a hard time finding a job that is not making minimum wage. Times are tough right now and in fact he is considering re-enlisiting in another branch of military.

But as of last week I got my website up and running! I hope to still do photography on the side as I never planned it to be a main source of income. I want my photography to be reasonably priced so that people can get great portraits without breaking the bank. I hope you all visit my site and I hope to update this more often!!


Thanks to all that support me!!

Why are some of my proofs in black and white?

Personally I LOVE black and white photos. However I can't determine what you like and do not like. Sometimes you will receive proofs that are black and white. Some of them do not include a color copy of the same image and others do. If a color copy is not included there are some reasons for that, but the biggest reason is usually that the color is wonky. Meaning that the color of the skin may be off from that of the background or that there is too much of one color and when you try to decrease it, it makes it look funny. Another reason may be because as an artist I believe some images are intended to be in black and white. If you get a proof that is in black and white and no color copy, I can let you know if I can work out the color issues or see if there is another reason on why I chose black and white only. I will charge an extra small fee to try and fix the image if you prefer it in color. However, I do not charge extra to make a color picture black and white. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask! I am very open about your session and feel free to tell me if you do not like black and white, however I may still include them if I see an image that is too cute to pass!!

New Year

This year went by so fast! I can't believe it! I have met so many great people through photography and I hope that the New Year brings even more great clients. I hope everyone has a safe celebration to bring in the New Year! What are your resolutions? I have a few. One is to get in shape. Not to loose weight but to get healthy. I have been so busy the last half of 2010 that I didn't take care of myself. I want to make sure that I start the 2011 year off right and get back into it. Another one is to keep up with school. I am not going to school for photography as with the number of photographers its just too competitive to make it my sole income. I plan to become a zoo keeper or something to that nature. So I have a long road still to a degree but as long as I keep moving slowly it will come. I also want to move forward in my photography and have a business that keeps moving. I want to get a website up and running and get a few more equipment items to help out. I also want a new camera but not sure if that will happen in 2011!!

Anyways I hope to keep posting on here and look for the future in my photography business. Thank you for following me and supporting me. I hope to work with you all soon, if I have not already!

Happy New Year!

Little Miss 'B' and Family

I have taken a few different photos of Little Miss 'B'. She is an aspiring model and so I have been taking some portfolio type shots for her and again we needed more of different hair styles so that was our focus. But at the same time we decided to include the family in a holiday family shoot as well! Mommy is a good friend of mine so I could not resist! They are a gorgeous little family and they are the sweetest people!

A Big Family

A big, beautiful, awesome family to work with. All of the kids were so well behaved and are super cute!

And then there was 3...

Three beautiful kids! The middle one was a handful, I don't know how he had so much energy. Thankfully mom has a beautiful, mature older daughter that was a great helper! I surprised mom and got a good one of all three of them together : D
