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.

It’s hard to believe that its been 9 months already. Little C is the best baby. She loves to cuddle. She loves to head butt (yes. head butt!)
She just plain loves every one.

I had the honor of being chosen to participate in a great contest held by an amazing clothing company called Matilda Jane. Their unique clothing and bright designs are always so fun!

It was an honor just be be picked out of hundreds of children photographers who entered this contest.
Matilda Jane Photo Love Contest

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.
Sweet Charlotte. She is nearly 9 months old!

Amy and I braved the chance it might start raining again on Monday… But it didn’t!
I think we got some great pictures, and I hope she loves them.
Thanks for being my first Senior this year, Amy!


Have an awesome Senior year, and your gallery should be ready soon!
