Seeing in a new light

Have you ever met one of those people who is just beautiful but just doesn't know it? Well, that is my friend Claire. I've had the privilege of having her stay with me over the past several days (she lives in MI) and it has been sooo fun. Neither of us have had enough sleep but sometimes that's just not a priority when you have lots of catching up to do. When talking with Claire I realized that so many times we don't see ourselves as others see us. Claire is successful, beautiful, so smart and always a ton of fun, but I think she doesn't see herself this way so I wanted to help her see herself in a new light! I am not a make-up artist but being a girl and watching make=up artist "create the face" for my shoots, I gave it a go on Claire, grabbed my camera and went to work.
Needless to say, with Claire, it was a success. And she saw it....I think you will too. :)

Hard Times

Hello all! I have been out of the loop with keeping up with blogging!!! I have been (probably) too busy lately and not enjoying the simple pleasures of keeping up with people and what is going on with them! Now that I am ready to blog and post some new photos, my computer crashes! Yep, "Bernice" my Macbook (yeah, I named a computer - laugh, it's a fun name)... well, "Bernice" just up and pooped out on me yesterday so I took her to the Dr. (the Apple Store). She is so bad that I am now having to take her to my friend Sampson (who I am convinced can fix any computer/media problem) to retrieve info from the hard drive... pray that she will survive! So, what better to do since Bernice is sick but go out and shoot some more and enjoy the beautiful weather. Check in later for more new things to come!
Hope you all are well and loving life!

The Phatom Menace

Hello again! Well I think this blogging requires more time than I had thought, but I'm here and loving it!

I had the privilege of assisting and shooting some with my mentor/friend Michael Gomez this week. He had the job of photographing The Phatom Menace, World Champion TN Walking Horse. I thoroughly enjoyed it for many reasons.....the weather was PERFECT, it was a new experience photographing a beautiful animal, and I grew up around a barn and horses and miss it terribly so, I got my fix this week!

Here are a few photos I got from the day......

First time for everything

Well, I have finally done it.  I have branched into the world of blogging.  Several photographers I happen to love do this and I love to follow what's new with them through their blog.  My friend Sarah Barlow has a blog which I was just checking out (you should too!) and....she inspired me.  (thanks for the easy access link at the top Sarah!  I need all the help I can get!)

Once I get the flow of how this all works, I will be back with updates and photos!    Until then....

   Happy weekend to all of you!
