It's been awhile.....

I have been away from my blog for awhile and well, I have been busy. I cook, I clean, I do laundry, I play with Thing 1 and Thing 2, I go to church, I take pictures, I run, I clean, I cook (wait I said those already!). Anyway, you get the idea.

So, now I feel that I have something to say, so I am going to throw somethings your way. When it comes to photography I am a novice, a newbie, a baby, a beginner. I really want to improve my skill and make photography what I do, you know, my skill, my profession, my craft. I know that I may not make great wealth, I know that it can be hard work, I know many people want to become photographers and just can't seem to make it happen. I have been doing a great deal of studying online to brush up on Photoshop, which is still over my head, brushing up on lighting, exposure, composition and many other things. I have talked with other photograpehrs and I have even had the opportunity to assist a photographer on a shoot. I plan to assist on many more if she lets me!

I have taken this all in and decided to continue practicing. I have been doing landscape photography for awhile now, but breaking into portrait photography is intimidating. I have done two official shoots now, and I would like to share some of the images from those shoots. If you are a photographer and would like to critique my work I welcome that! Otherwise, please enjoy!

The first shoot I did was of four sisters. They had so much energy that all I could do was try and catch up. I had a fabulous time running around after them, I think I was able to capture some really good images of them.

The next shoot I was able to do was of a beautiful friend of mine who is pregnant. I am really thankful I was able to capture some of her pregnancy for her. I know personally how momentous pregnancy can be, I also know that I am glad I was able to capture some images from my two pregnancies.

I do just want to add that this is totally my fav.
