A Saturday in the Day of the Life Of Your Photographer

Although my photography business is a part-time endeavor, my goal is to offer full service. However, there are times when my full time job with Ford Brothers Auctioneers – Realtors creates scheduling “challenges”. So I wanted to give my clients a sneak peak into “my other world”. I have worked with Ford Brothers for over 20 years as a secretary/licensed real estate assistant. This also includes auctions, mostly ...

Here's Casen!

A beautiful evening, huge sunny yard, slight breeze, lots of props and add Cutie Pie Casen! Yes, this equals one fun photo session! If someone arrived at your house with a truckload of toys, wouldn’t you think it was playtime? I believe Casen though he had found the ultimate playmate as we unloaded some very cool items like a John Deere Tractor, A Tricycle, Rocking Horses and more!  A note to ...

The Bratchers....Expecting Luke

When a couple is expecting, there is such a joyous anticipation as the little life grows and dreams form as the couple transform into a family. I have known Andy’s family for years and so it was a treat to be chosen to photograph this special session. Andy and Danielle were such a loving and fun young couple. Still in their newlywed months together, sometimes I was difficult to determine just what type of session ...

Happy Fathers Day, A Little Belated

In honor of Father's Day, I thought I would share a few portraits taken with Dad and for Dad. Enjoy! If you would like to celebrate the relationship of fathers (or a belated mothers' session), contact me for a special on sessions schedule during the month of June! Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't wish my own dad and brother a very Happy Father's Day as well! ...

Down on the Farm

Danielle had so many wonderful ideas for her maternity sessions that we made it a two-part shoot. Later in the week, I visited the Bratcher Dairy Farm!  Over the years, I have developed a great appreciate for the farming families throughout our community. I may have a 9 to 5 job but these families certainly do not! It is a sun-up, sundown, seven days a week, all for one and one for all! Vacations? Rarely. ...

The Heartbeat of A Photographer

Earlier this week, I was counting my blessings. Among those many blessings, I am priviledged to include many wonderful clients who have become dear friends! The proof is where I find my pictures! At a recent graduation, I was surprised, astonished, touched and actually, just a wee bit proud, to see some of the Senior Session photos included in the Senior's Video Slideshow of her life! Amanda, you don't know how much ...

A Birthday Buffet

June seems to be the birthday month for my friends! In fact, today two of my friends are celebrating! As a special treat, my friend, Sheryl, and I went out to dinner! Since it was her birthday, I let her chose, after a few qualifications: not a restaurant with a location in Mt. Vernon, not Chinese nor Japanese, not fast food (I mean we are celebrating her birthday!). So we went to Somerset, up and down Hwy 27...so many ...

A Visit to the Valley

After a week of Bologna sandwiches for lunch (in my process of becoming more financially savvy but that is another post :) ), I had a dinner date which a friend! At the last minute, my friend had to cancel but my heart was already set on some Bar BBQ Chicken! So I called up another good friend, Ginny Jackson, and said "Lady, Whatcha doing?" Ginny is up for nearly anything and readily agreed to meet me at the Back Porch ...

A Girl's New Best Friend?

A while back while meeting with some clients, I had the opportunity to admire a friend's "Butler Bag" from Avon. With the pockets for organization, everything seeems to have its very own place! Now I don't know about you, but here it is for this gal, if I am carrying a big bag then everything I need is hidden in the bottom; or if it is a small handbag, money, notes, and camera straps are hanging out! Of course, you ...
