Baby Bump

As a photographer I have always been able to fully appreciate the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words". However, I've always said that a picture is worth a thousand words and a million emotions. There are just some pictures that make you speechless, and words cannot describe what you feel when you gaze upon it.

I have found my latest speechless photograph. I see such confidence and beauty every time I look at this photograph of her. She's fearless, yet, vulnerable. She is strong and soft at the same time. There is just so much to be seen I can't seem to find all the words needed to describe it.

The maternity shoot I was so privileged to take part in the other day was, by far, a very unique and special shoot for me. It was with one of my very best childhood friends. And we had such a great time together, laughing at eachother, giggling at silly things, ("do something cute with your feet Tiff!")  talking about our boys playing together, growing up, about us getting older, just having a really nice time.

One reason why this shoot meant so much to me is because when we were in our early teens she and I set up a 'studio' in my room and took two rolls of pictures of each other. We modeled clothes, changed out 'props', it was a full on fashion shoot! :) This recent shoot brought back a lot of really good memories.

I've always thought her to be one of the most beautiful women I've ever known, and this shoot proved it all the more!

XOXOXOX Tiff! I can't wait for our next shoot together!

Giggles and Jibber Jabber

I know that this is not directly related to photography, but I just had to share it. I sometimes get so busy during the day, (I work from home), that I forget to take a moment and BE HOME! :) I think you know what I mean.

I decided last week that I would take at least one hour out of my early afternoon and turn everything off and, well, be home. So, after a few days of doing that, it's been the best thing I have ever done! I focus 100% on my son, we play, we giggle, he jibber jabbers, and it is the highlight of my day! I've always had things for him to do, and stopped for a few minutes here and there to play with him, but this is so much better than that! It's purposeful, meaningful time!

Plus, an added bonus to this, I actually get everything done that needed to get done anyways! I get to take a breather, calm down a bit, and re-collect myself!

So, if you are a work at home mom like me, I highly recommend this! It truly is the best part of my day and it's so good for my body, mind and the rewards from my son are beyond all compare!

Have a great day everyone, take a moment, and keep it snappy!

Out with the old....

In with the new!

Sometimes we humans have a tendency to 'over-do' ourselves. We have had so many great customers and Chris and I are so thankful to each and every one of you! We've had some really great experiences this last year. Having said that, we felt that our work has not been displayed the best it could have been. In the process of over-doing ourselves this last year, we lost sight of some things and feel that a more simplistic approach to business will be the best route for us this coming year. So, for the very first change, our website!

Yes, the old website is no more! I know, I know! I loved it too, but, change is progress, right?

 I have been in the process of updating and moving the entire site! Please, be patient with me while it is in progress. I have not completed the portfolio transfer, but if you are a potential customer and need to see my work, please check out my Facebook page! Also, if you are a customer and you need help navigating this new site, please don't hesitate to email me or call me and I will do my best to help you out!

Thanks again for waiting on me to get this done and I really hope you all like the new site! :) There are more changes to come, as they are implemented we will let you all know!

Have a great week everyone, and, please, keep it Snappy!!!
