I am often asked if I went to school for photography. The answer is no. I am then asked how in the world did I ever learn?
Lots of time reading, playing, experimenting with my camera and editing software. Google became my best friend on answering questions for me.
Then I was asked to join Clickin’ Moms about 2 years ago. This is community of women (and men!!) who share the same love for photography and creating beautiful portraits. Not every one is a professional, some just want to learn how to use their camera a little better to take pictures of their own children.
There is a wide range of talent, style, ages, even different parts of the world. There is something for every one!
This is such a helpful group of women, and I have learned so much. I never realized that as a photographer, it is so so so so important to network with other photographers. Not just for your own personal gain, but for the friendships that blossom from one similar interest.
So there you have it, my spiel on one of my favorite website/forums.
Sign up today, and use the code FRIEND for 10% off your membership!! Click on the image below to take you there.
and because no blog is complete with out a picture, here are my little love bugs. Well, two of the three.
They are truly BEST friends.

One of my 2010 resolutions was to make more personal blog entries. I am not doing such a fabulous job!!
Yesterday, I took some pictures of my nearly 11 month old daughter (where did the time go?!) for an article about one year portraits and cake smash sessions for TAoPaN mag . I know she isn’t one yet, but I had some new ideas that I hadn’t got a chance to try out in my last cake smash session.
She is probably the cutest baby ever. If I do say so myself.
Now, if you excuse me. I have the cable company to call about my DVR that didn’t record LOST tonight. Yes. This is a big deal.

I know I have said it before, but nothing warms my heart more than doing Operation:Love reunited sessions.
Maybe it is because I know the heart ache of being away from the one person that knows everything about you.
Maybe it is because I know what a service these men and women do for our country.
Maybe it is because I see the dedication, first hand. And I know how important it is.
I know what it is like to be a military wife, and while the road is often hard, there is no other road I would rather be on.
I am proud to be apart of these special moments!
This adorable (yes, I mean it A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E) couple is getting married in Hawaii, and I am jealous!
Can you believe those two cuties?! Look for a blog with more on them later….

And the best news of all? Addie actually had fun doing this! We had some very much needed mommy+Addie time. We even got ice cream.
For your viewing pleasure, some more pictures of my three beautiful little babies.

I love fall. The pumpkins, the leaves, the apples the hot drinks… love it!
The kids love it too, to prove it, look at 2 of the 3 of my little cuties.
Adorable, right?
On a different note, I teamed up with a local KC blogger to do a giveaway. Visit her site, KC Penny Pinchin’ Mama to find out more.

As a mother I know how frantic birthday parties can be, especially when you have that under 5 years old crowd! As a photographer, I know that I want to get memorable shots, but trying to be the birthday hostess and the photographer can be tough.
I have these two packages that might cure your party blues.
Each package includes a mini session for the birthday boy or girl. This will be a 15-30 minute shoot of just them, doing things they love! Let them give you ideas for location, props, clothing etc. This session will provide the image for their custom birthday invites. This price also includes my time on the day of the party.
basic package- $275 includes the shoot, the 24 birthday cards, me on the day of the shoot and a mini 4×6 album of all pictures taken.
glamour package- $400 includes all of the above and a small studio set up in the party location, pictures of all the kids and individual pictures in 4×6 size of each party goer will be give as a gift to them.
Contact me and we can talk about which package is right for you and your child’s special day!

This was our first attempt at the kids Christmas pictures. It wasn’t as miserable as I thought it was going to be! They were very nice and listened great. I even ended up with some very cute pictures!
Believe me, we will be trying again though. I am perhaps a bit of a perfectionist.
Adelai attempting a jumping picture, she is precious! And cool guy Tommy. What a little man.
