So, as I've mentioned before, I'm not really comfortable taking pictures of people other than my kiddo. There are just so many things that can go wrong. What if they don't like anything I take? What if the lighting isn't right? What if I forget how to use my camera all together? Just too many what if's for me. This photo shoot however, was totally different. I'm not sure if the planets were just lined up right or what, but I felt very comfy for once. Of course it helped quite a bit that she wasn't afraid of the camera, and even though there were 3 other people there with her, they didn't hover around us; they just kind of let us do our own little thing. I guess that helped keep her eyes on my camera. Anywhoo.. it was a good experience !!

...My small little work area... Zentangles... my idea of "painting"... mixed media ? maybe ? ok, just miscellaneous junk :)... Well, there you have it.... Some of the dumb little things I like to tryJenny & I are doing a little photo adventure together. We tried doing 10 photos a day for 2012, which was a bit intimidating for me. Not that snapping 10 pictures a day hard to do, but it was hard to commit doing it every day. So, she came up with Photo a Day April... So far, so good...
I have been working on a particular project for a little while now. I worked on it, hit the designated deadline, turned it in, and didn't really hear anything further from it. It was good to get it all together, and even better knowing that I could actually do something I put my mind to. I am by far my worst enemy and I put so much pressure on myself; probably too much if you want to know the truth.
Well, my little project is finally coming full circle and has been set out to be printed as we speak, and I'm a complete ball of nerves. I'm used to seeing my pictures printed for my own personal use, but to know that this project is actually being printed and being used for a mailer and actually being mailed to over 300 schools, is mind boggling. Knowing that 300 strangers are going to see some of my pictures and my design, is terrifying to me. I'm used to my friends and family giving me critiques and I'm completely fine with because I know it's 100% honest, be it good, or be it bad. Seeing over 400 prints of my work is both awesome and scary at the same time. This is also my first "paid" project as well as my first professional not personal project. UGH !! ... Keep your fingers crossed for me ... It's official... I got my first check from a "client" today... WOW.... Now, I'm even more nervous... lol Ok, so I generally don't like taking pictures of people too much, it makes me super nervous. But, my friend Erica (Tabbi's sister) got married this past weekend so we decided to take pictures for her. I couldn't have done any of it without the help of my buds !! I also took pictures for her engagement.. So, here are some of my shots. ...Engagement...Wedding |

I'm the Canon girl
By no means, do I consider myself a photographer; I just love to take pictures and share the way I see things. It takes amazing skill, a good eye, talent & tons of training to be an actual "photographer". I have the utmost respect for the old school photographer and their roll of film. Me, I just jump in the truck, and go wherever the road takes me. I'm not too big on the posed pictures, I'd rather snap an embrace, a gesture, a real emotion.
