There is a real thrill in capturing something unique on film, whether it’s a certain look, a moment, or a detail. I have always loved photography, but it wasn’t until I got my first digital SLR that I was able to really let go and explore all that my camera had to offer… film was expensive and megabytes are (almost) free! In the past few years I have really been able to let go and take chances on shots I wouldn’t have dared to with film for fear of “wasting” my money! I took thousands of pictures of my own children and just really basked in the fun of it all.
I enjoyed the many compliments I received on my pictures, but hadn’t thought about sharing this passion and talent beyond my own family. That changed in early 2007, when our pastor preached a series of sermons called “Soul Cravings” … it covered a lot of ground but what I took away from it is that God wants us to pursue what we love and to embrace our passions. So I started exploring. A friend pointed me to the blog of an internationally known photographer, who not only takes fantastic pictures, but is passionate about helping other women and mommas (such as myself) pursue their passions. I kept exploring. And got excited. So I started down this road of creating images of your lives, in addition to my own.
Other than that, you should know that I thrive on coffee, chocolate, and Diet Coke. I love my husband Andy. I adore grammar, but not capital letters. I’m not cute or fluffy or frilly. I cut my hair short so I wouldn’t have to mess with it. It also no longer gets in the way of my pictures. I like dogs, but not cats. I love babies, but I’m glad mine are growing up. I am a totally tangential thinker, but trust me, there’s always a connecting thread. Well, almost always.
