Happy Valentine’s Day

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

There is alot of love in my life and for that I am grateful.   Since I like to think of today as not only a day of celebrating the love you have for your sweetie here is a list of people I will be enjoying the “holiday” with today – in no particular order:)

1. My dog Minion, her fiestyness keeps us on our toes.

2. My nieces and their love of arts and crafts.  The picture below is one of them during our Valentine making sprint on Sunday.  She is one part cute one part Valentine’s day monster.

3. My two sisters and my parents and the fact that we all live close and are close.

4. My husband and his eternal patience with my need to change things:)

 

I hope your day is full of love and sweet treats from your sweeties:)

Personal Project: Kids and Toys

Friday, February 10th, 2012

Personal projects are important for me and my photography business.  Pursuing something I wouldn’t normally shoot or shooting something in a new way keeps my skills sharp and allows me to venture into uncharted territory.  This personal project is not uncharted territory – kids!  I have photographed them before – kids were how I started my business.  This time around I wanted kids coming to the session with their favorite toys.  Allow them to interact with, show me the toys and sometimes ask me to play showed me a different side of each of these kids.
