My Journey

Never ever take for granted the time spent with those whom you love. Take the opportunity to turn off the TV Step away from the computer Put the phone on silent Avoid the hectic mall scene And instead.... Sit with them Listen to them Understand their wants and worries Share with them your experience Laugh and cry together Create memories that will last forever For you never know when they will no longer be there. It has been almost two years since I lost my best friend, Brittney. I miss talking with her everyday, Skype dance parties, shopping together, spending time together laughing so hard we cried and so much more. I never imagined saying good- bye to her at such a young age but I will never forget her. B, I love you! What I would give for a few more moments with those that I have lost. Cherish them!!

I was able to have another photo shoot, this time it was precious infant babe. The session was casual and held with a few props. I believe there is more to learn about holding a photo session with infants but I am glad I had this first experience. Enjoy!

Over the weekend Hedrick was sick and since I am such an AMAZING girlfriend, I decided to make him some homemade soup. Well there was a problem with this situation...I never made homemade soup before. I knew that it could be easy and quick or very complicated and long. Luckily my mother emailed me the easy version and I got started. I was very happy with the end result and Hedrick was as well. But now I have myself in such a place that Hedrick would like me to do that more often. Before:  After:

I have loved photography from a young age and have wanted to make it a part of my life. Well I have been able to do some photo shoots here and there but nothing official  Until just other month, I was able to schedule my first photo shoot. As I am just learning the ropes all I had was my camera and some props I made the night before based off of ideas that I had seen on pinterest. The woman I was able to photograph was pregnant, had her baby a few days after, and I captured her pregnant belly just in time. Below are just a few photos from my first maternity photo session. 

Well you made it! I look forward to sharing with everyone the places I see, the people I meet, the work I accomplish, the joys I experience and the memories I create.  I hope you all enjoy the journey with me. Stay tuned...
