Firsts

This is Mae. She is a good friend who was kind enough to let me shoot her beautiful baby belly. She was one of my very first maternity shots. This is my favorite.



This was taken in the family room of my house. We call it my Ghetto Studio. Hey, whatever works, right?

Hello's

This is my first post here. My opportunity to say hello and welcome you to my new photography blog. This blog is intended to be the continuing story of my photography journey. A journey, that I might add, was rather stumbled upon quite unexpectedly.

You see, it was only a year ago that pictures were no big deal to me. I mean, I liked them and looked at them and I could appreciate really pretty ones, but I honestly didn't see them.

Looking and seeing are two very different things. Looking involves nothing more than gazing upon a nice image. Seeing involves a story. When you see an image and it tells a tangible story, involving an emotion or speaking to you in some fashion or another, then I believe, you have truly seen that image.

That's where I am. I'm seeing life through new eyes (and lenses!) and it's so exciting for me to learn all that I can about photography and be able to share it here. Like my tag line says: it's all about capturing life's unforgettable moments.

Most of what this blog will hold is maternity, bith and newborn photography. Those are things that I'm passionate about. I think if you photograph what you're passionate about, then that passion will show through in your photography, creating a lasting, unforgettable image that will speak to you and others who see it.

So, welcome. I hope you enjoy this crazy journey with me. I'm not perfect, don't claim to be and I'm certainly not there yet, when it comes to photography. It's all a learning process for me and hopefully, I can teach you a thing or two along the way. Or maybe you can teach me. Either way, hang on, I think it's gonna be a pretty wild ride!
