Images of Inspiration - Week Three: Anticipation and Intensity

This shot gave me an all over misty, airy, slow-down-and enjoy-the-moment kind of feeling. The love between these two was more than apparent behind the lens.

"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind...."



Ulrich Family Photoshoot Teasers!

SO fun to work with!!  LOVE this family!

Enjoy!

Shoot with the Ineguek family!

I had a shoot tonight with a fellow photographer, Alex Ineguk and his lovely wife Nina.  So fun!!

Choosing teaser shots from this shoot was so hard to do!

Enjoy!

Joy. In its purest form.

Images of Inspiration

I've had a new idea... a creative learning experience.  I'm going to try to post a weekly shot that insipires me in one way or another. 

I thought of committing to post one daily, but let's be serious! I'm a MOMMY, wife, and work outside of the home.  Any "free" time I have is quickly filled by editing, cleaning, cooking, and entertaining my daughter - not in that order!  (Any Mommy who has the time to post daily I have to question..?)

Without further delay, today's image of inspiration:

Innocence.  Happiness.  Joy.

Fall is Fantastic!

Hello again, everyone.  My lack of posting means only one thing:  SUPER BUSY!  I simply haven't had the time to devote to blogging about adventures in mommyland, photography world, or everything in between.  (who does?!)  So.. let's play a little bit of catch up:

In the past month, Miss Sophia has experienced her first, (and second ) pumpkin farm and hayride!  She loved both, and we plan to return before this beautiful season ends.  My favorite shot of her from the recent trip is below.  How lovely is my little one?  Biased?  Maybe.  ;)

     Anyhow, professionally, recently I have had the fantastic opportunity to work with a repeat customer, and very dear friend.  I did her newborn's shots just two months ago, and now the entire family was involved in the shoot!  SUPER fun!  I even got to cuddle the lovely Olivia Estelle for a while.  Mmmmmm... new baby smell.  Yum Yum.  Love you guys, Jess!  Sneak Peak below:

What a cutie!

Thanks for staying caught up with me! 

xoxo,

A sprinkle of this and that

     Time for a recap of what has been happening in the life of this Mommy/Wife/Photographer in the past three weeks, give or take a day...or three....

     Life has been a whirlwind recently!  SO many shoots and SO much editing.  I had ONE entire day of being completely caught up, and although it was an awesome feeling, I yearned for more.  Weird, right?  I think I've reached that point now, where, if I'm not shooting or editing at least six days a week, I really feel like I'm slacking.  ;)  Holiday specials are about to begin, also.  (I cannot believe we are THERE already!!)

     This past Sunday Sophia and I bounced in a HUGE dyno jump, with an attached slide.  It was fantastic.  Nope, I didn't care that I was the only "kid" in there over the age of 5.  No, I didn't care that none of the other parents took part because they were too cool (more room for me!). That is a definite for her next birthday party!  No doubt.

     The Shatzer Family had our own photo session this past weekend with a fellow photo friend.  SO MUCH FUN!  So interesting and weird to be on the other end of the camera.  Took me a little warming up but the shots that we have seen so far turned out fabulous.  We love them.  {{Thanks ALEX!  I cannot wait to do yours!}}

     Tonight I had my first REAL,"Am I a bad Mommy?" episode.  Picture this, if you will:  Walking along the bike path at the beach at sunset.  Car is parked on the bike path.  (BAD idea.  Who does that!?)  I angle Sophia's baby stroller AROUND the parked car when a moving car comes flying around the bend.  My heart skipped a beat.  It was close.  Not death defying close, but close.  I could still vomit from the anxiety. Dear GOD.  I had no where to go!  I was midway past the parked car.  Could only go forward or stop.  Neither was good.  It will take me a while to shake this one, I'm sure of it.  Just feel so.... guilty.

    Off to edit. GN!
