Project 365: Day 17 & 18

Engagement Photo Shoot

Ever since having Trevor, the photography bug has really taken hold of me. At first I content just photographing the kids but lately, I really want to venture out more. I suppose though, I am what has been dubbed, a "momtographer". Apparently, us moms with cameras are really starting to irritate the professionals who feel we are taking away from their business. Here is the thing - we all have to start somewhere. Even the pros were once just a person with a camera. But I guess they have forgotten that. It's a very intimidating business because photography is very subjective. I've seen some of the so-called best of the business and I've not been impressed at all, and I've seen amateurs who knock my socks off.

I find myself torn between wanting to do it like the pros so to speak, and wanting to just follow my own heart and photograph the way *I*want and say the hell with all the "rules".

Back in October I had the privilege to photograph an engagement session for a friend of the family - we had a lot of fun. One of the best parts is that the bride-to-be was open to whatever I had in mind for posing and for processing the photos when I was done. I am really thrilled with how they came out!

Here are some peaks of the session:

Project 365: Days 11, 12, and 13

I have had all my photos ready and just forgot to post them, so here we go!

So we've been trying new wines lately and I decided to take a picture of this Port I had purchased, when all of a sudden Karl jumped into the picture just as I was snapping! LOL!

So yesterday I was surprised by UPS with a package. I wasn't expecting anything, so I had no idea what it was. Imagine my surprise when I opened it up to find out I had won this cute little charm last month from a contest on Facebook! 

And for today - we let the kids stay up tonight, so here is Vicky in my bed waiting for me to join her so we can watch some Nickelodeon!!

Project 365: Day 10

I helped mom pick out this Mrs.Fields cookie "oven" for Vicky for Christmas. I didn't pay attention closely otherwise I would have seen this ins't an oven indeed - it's just a storage unit. You actually make the cookies in the microwave. And for the record, said cookies taste like crap! LOL!

Project 365: Day 8

Someone got a hair cut today - just enough to trim off the dead ends. She's decided she wants to grow it out now...which makes daddy very happy!
