treasures ...

so today I was doing my 365 photos ... and somedays I link the 2 projects together ... other times I don't - but today was a linked kinda day ... I love cameras - old ones, new ones, doesn't matter ... I will buy a camera at a yard sale or flea market in a heartbeat! LOVE THEM! I mentioned to my grandmother about my new found love of collecting cameras and she brought out my Great-Grandmother's old Kodak Brownie Fiesta camera ... and gave it to me, Let me just tell you how this made my life - haha ... well needless to say - this little camera is now ranked with some of my highest possesions - on the priceless list. My "maw" (great-grandmother's nickname) - bought this camera new back in the 60's or early 70's .. it has shot MANY pictures - Oh how I would LOVE to hear the stories it could tell ... it still has a roll of film in it, it is in the original box with the flash - and instructions for picture taking hints! I have seen MANY MANY pictures in my granny's old albums that this little gem has shot! I just had to share this today ... along with my self portrait 365 - will all my treaures. Enjoy!



and my treaures ...

Hello world ...

So - I am embarassed at how long it has been since I blogged ... it is one of my goals this year to do this more ... post sneak peeks over here and such ... so I have cleaned out all of the old posts and I am starting from SCRATCH ... here I am and I have a mission to make my photography business bigger and better than ever in 2011! The photography business is tough around here in my area - I think it is tough in alot of areas. But I want to shine ... I want to stand out from the crowd - I want to be me - and have my personality show through my work. I am an artist - I create things - I create material things such as my jewelry line, but I also want to create images that are priceless - that "WOW" my clients. So here I am and here I will be. Let me show you the world through my eyes.
Up until this year - I have been a "jack of all trades" type of photographer - from babies, to kids, to families, to weddings and I really did not have a specialty ... I still really don't have a certain specialty - but I am gracefully bowing out of the Wedding business. I have come to realize - it is NOT for me ... It takes a special breed of photographers to tackle weddings and I am not in that gene pool. I really love caputing the details of weddings and such, but as far as the ceremony and the organizing of the people in post ceremony pics = too much stress for me ...
With that being said I plan to focus on Lifestyle Photography - with Families, Babies and Children ... I love me some High School Seniors too! Just regular people - living regular lives. Now don't get me wrong - I love the couples, and crazy in love people too ... but just not gonna handle the big "dance" ...
