I had the Best portrait session Ever with 3 little girls last week. They were darling!! And they loved being in front of the camera..well at least as long as I could keep up with them lol. When I sat them down I got some funny photo's of the eldest girl sticking her tongue out. So natural was def. the way to go =)

I love being there. I had so much FUN! And the best part came when it was time for me to go. The girls asked mom if I could pleaseee stay and have a snack with them. ♥

Leap of Faith!!

Well I finally took the leap.

The leap of faith towards having my own photography business. I signed up with Pictage which is one step I've been talking about doing. I need to build a website too..but that will have to be another day. I'm still up in the air about who to use. Pictage is an Incredible photography site where you can upload your *event* photo's and people can order their work right off the site. I can't wait until I have *events* to put there.

Yeahhh I love these peeps already too! They've been in touch with me and so patient as I asked a zillion questions. And then still sat on the decision. And they didn't give up on me.

Well I just signed up. And I feel honored to be a part of such a Great community of awesome photographers!! I can't wait to dig through all the information they have online for me.

My Day!

...will be spent processing Christina's photo's of her and Emma. Of harrassing Audrey to stop thru on her Thelma and Louise roadtrip. Of wondering if she should buy the Totally Rad Actions and waiting for Someone to share their love for them on FB...and finding a chair to use for my photography. Something old..grungy and colorful. So I will be in touch to share =)

Delaware Wedding =)

My very first time to shoot a wedding this past weekend. I was invited to second shoot with a Wonderful and popular Delaware Wedding Photographer. She was most gracious to have me tag along and get some shots with her. It was a beautiful small wedding in a stone church. Hard to get light in; but lovely just the same. I will never forget this first chance. I am looking for more!! Here are some of my photo's =)

My Newest Dream ♥

I have caught the bug for photographing people lately. Couples even. And I want very much to learn the art of photographing little peeps. Babys! Yes you're getting it. I want to add Portrait and Wedding photography to my photo skills. But I need practice and I need to build a portfolio. Lucky for me I work with mostly young women. So I asked a few of my work buds if I could take their photo's. They were thrilled to comply. My deal for them is free photo's.

Here are a few from this past week that I wanted to share. =)

White Peonie's

Bought these on the way home from work this am. I had to buy them =)

BW Light

Hey guys long time no chat! Well I've been a busy girl with work and researching some new photography paths.

I love my fine art photography and will Never give that up. But someone has actually asked me (*thru looking at my flickr and knowing my friend*) to possibly shoot their wedding in 2010. At first I thought whatttt? Me??

But then I started thinking. I love the photojournalism style of many of todays wedding photogs. And if I were to do weddings it would be My preferred style. So my heart has led me in that direction. I am reading like mad about portrait photography and wedding work and looking for a professional wedding photo to take me under her wing. I've had one lovely person already email me back wanting to meet me and possible "second shoot" with her. So I'm pleased as punch hehe. Sorry but I guess I should say I'm over the moon. Or I'm just tickled pink. Well you get the idea =)

So stayed tuned.

For now; here is a photo that I took that I am especially proud of. I converted it to BW after thinking the tones and variations would really suit it. You tell me!

Shop is Open!!

I've been thinking about this for some time; but finally made the decision last week to open a few accounts to sell my photo's. I have become so totally in love with photography and all the wonderful people it has brought into my life. I hope to continue to "kick it up" a notch and enter the professional world of photography. So I wanted to share with you. I hope everyone takes a look. And know that things will change; because I'm still trying to figure out the best way to promote my word and get it out to the masses =) The peeps lol. Plus I have to keep taking time to load up my photo's. It's quite a bit of work so be patient with me =)

My shops are Etsy and Redbubble. At redbubble you can order the print in various forms; ie cards, posters even streached canvas. So I'll see you there =)

Here are the addys..

No words really needed here. We went to Longwood Gardens on Friday.

Simply amazing place..

Frustrated!!

Sometimes it's very frustrating to work in L&D. I know. You think it's all fluffy and sweet smelling right? Well it's not. Sometimes it is..but unfortionately it's not always.

Last night I had a patient being induced. I got on well with her; but then I do with most all my patients. But I just couldn't help shaking my head everytime I walked out of her room.
She had issues. Major issues. Like being a G7P2 at age 21 for starts. Also a Type1 Diabetic. Major mental problems. And then the medical history went on and on...

But what bothered me..and I hope I don't get blasted for saying this..but what bothered me was this. She is single and has had 7 pregnancys with 7 men. No man was by her side this time either.
Two of her children had died from major medical issues. 2 died because she was in a fight while pregnant. Uhhum you heard me. Then she had anther stillbirth. Then 2 children who were in state custody.

Now here she is pregnant again. 21yrs old.
It just blew my mind. I wanted to share. Hopefully I'll have another sweet and joyous delivery when I go back to work.

I feel better ♥
