I was thinking, hmm, wonder if anyone ever visits my blog anymore. Well, they do. So I wanted to make a quick post here so it is clear where you can find my work. I haven't been blogging for a long time. I may start back in the future, undecided there. However, for now please visit me on my website or on facebook:

Thanks for taking a look, I hope I can work with your family and provide a custom photography experience you will treasure!

MCP Interview with Audrey Woulard
Just a quick post to share one of my frequented places to get great information if you are a budding photographer like me or a seasoned pro. One of my favorite recent articles on the MCP blog is their interview with Audrey Woulard. Her work is amazing and I aspire to it. I love how she captures children naturally and her skill with the camera and lighting. Shooting at such a high aperture and keeping the part of the subject you want in focus and moving fast with children is much harder than anyone would imagine who hasn't tried it. Especially with a prime lens that doesn't zoom in and out. It's something I've been working on myself lately. Here's a link to her interview.

New Website Launch
I'm proud to say my new website is pretty much complete. I'll still be tweaking a few things throughout the week so if you visit and it's acting up that is why. However, I wanted to go ahead and put it out there since some interest has been generated in more sessions after my most recent newborn work. The website will definitely be the new go to place to showcase my work. Thanks for your interest. Visit at:

Web Site Coming Soon
Today I purchased my domain name and a flash site template. I can't wait to start building it and publish the end product. I really think it will allow me to showcase my work nicely. It will also allow clients to view their gallery on the same site. Seriously excited and hope this gives me the ability to ramp up for Spring. I'm torn about continuing to blog but I'll find my way. Newborn session on Monday, can't wait!

Prime Time Practice
Got a new prime lens but forgot to add the hood and UV filter to the order. That's what happens when two babes are in the background while you are clicking add to cart! Anyway, that means I'm paranoid to shoot with it much in fear of damage. Yes, I'm protective and particular. I can NOT wait to use it on an upcoming newborn session though.
I have been reading, webinar watching, creating inspiration sheets, experimenting in editing and shooting like crazy lately. You'll see me change a lot on this blog, facebook and my free little website right now. I'm finding myself and my style and trying to use these intermediate tools to the best of their and my ability. Eventually my goal is to have one professional site and my facebook page.
That said, everything is a balance. A balance of striving toward improvement but having fun along the way. Ultimately, I'm doing this because I love it. Another balance I've noticed myself struggling with lately is technical pursuits vs. emotion and style. My style of photographing my children, people, nature and anything in general has always been natural, non-posed and just doing what strikes me at the moment. I'm a sit and wait for the moment kind of girl. That has produced the best images for me over the years. A session doesn't exactly provide a perfect atmosphere for that but that style can and will still shine through if I am just me. After all, that's all I can be.
It's easy to fall into the trap of trying to be like others you admire and losing what makes your work a part of you along the way. I love looking at others work and notice I do connect with those who have a style like mine so it is good to see perfection in the industry greats and strive toward continuous improvement. Again, BALANCE! I'll leave it at that and sign off for now.

Sophie Magazine
Just a quick post. Have you seen Sophie magazine while you are out and about? It's distributed throughout Western NC and is a great read for women. They sponsor a photo contest each month. I've submitted a few here and there and got one published! I haven't seen it yet but a friend told me. It's a landscape picture. Pretty cool, now to get my copy!
