Welcome to my Blog!

Can you guess which one I am?  The short one with the pigtails! lol  I still remember when that picture was taken.  The rushing water felt cold and a little scary, but I felt safe with my Mom holding on to me.  Pictures are about so much more than capturing an image, they capture feelings and memories.  I feel so privileged to be able to do what I love, and give back to others at the same time.  My hope is that my work will remind families of the important things-the little moments memories are made of.

I hope you enjoy reading my blog and perhaps find a little inspiration.

Well hello everyone!!  I hope the new year finds you all well.  I know that it’s been quite awhile since my last post but I was in serious need of some mental downtime and rest.  My mom described it to me as- “hibernation” …so yes, I guess that is what I have been doing, but it’s time to come out of it and get back to life.  I think that at times those of us with artistic sensibilities tend to benefit from giving the creative mind a break to allow it to renew itself.  It’s the old “keep your cup full” theory, I try to apply that in my life so that I may better serve my family, friends and of course, clients.  So if you are still reading- on to my first post of 2010~!

Meet our darling new addition-Mr. Henry “Bean” Burross! lol  He is the latest member of the menagerie  in my house and we are all completely in LOVE!!  I hope you enjoy some puppy love pictures..he was sleepy for this photo shoot..poor thing!   I look forward to sharing an ADORABLE client session with you all soon!!

I hope you are all enjoying the holidays!!  Today Grace and I embarked on a cute little project I have wanted to do for some time now…we made snowLADIES! lol  It’s really very easy and SO much fun.  I put together a little video montage with my Xmas present…love this camera!!  I am still learning this HD video thing and having to focus manually is throwing me a bit, but I am very happy with how it turned out.  Take a peek and maybe try this project with your kiddos during the break.  Here is what you will need-

  • styrofoam balls in three sizes
  • craft glue
  • scraps of felt, ribbon or fabric
  • straight pins (for eyes & mouth) definitely a project to be supervised by mom
  • twigs you can find in your own yard
  • glitter
  • old book pages
  • fake snow
