Worn...

“I am worn to a raveling.” ~ Beatrix Potter

I have a love for things that are worn. My favorite blue jeans that are my go to for comfort. That old quilt that makes a nap complete. The old basket from grandma's chicken coop. Worn is good...worn is loved. Here is a sampling of worn from myself and my friends.

a little bit of this and a whole lot of that...

I feel like my blog has taken a back seat to life the past few weeks. I started working on my Early Childhood Education Master's program through Arizona State University and I have spent the past few weeks to get settled in with my classes...balancing being a wife, mother and grad student.

I have been out and about taking photos. Did a photo shoot of my son for his 10th birthday...wow, 10 years old already...where has the time gone? I will get some of these up soon to share with all of you.

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to be an assistant for Stephanie Harmon of StepOnMePhotos. I have been an assistant for Stephanie before and was thrilled when she asked me to do so again. The wedding was quaint and the bride and groom were beaming with love. To see some of my photos from the wedding go to my facebook fan page and check them out. While you are there check out my other work and let me know that you stopped by by leaving a comment.

I leave you with a recent photo I took that is currently the background on my desktop and my google calendar (did you know that you can put a picture as a background on you google calendar??? I just discovered this last week and love it...check it out in the lab section of your google calendar settings).

Happy New Year...

I'm back after a nice...LONG..Christmas vacation. I took advantage of the break and totally relaxed pretty much the entire time. Now it is a little bit difficult to get back in the swing of things...I have been busy today cleaning off my hard drive and finishing up edits from one session...3 more sessions to go before Friday...I will get them done!!!

I am excited to get the New Year started...I have several goals for myself, my family and my photography business. I will be announcing some specials so be sure to check back soon.

Now's the time to get your session booked on my calendar. Call or email me to set up a session.

I have my first wedding scheduled for April. I am very excited about it. I have been a second shooter before but this will be my first big girl experience. It is going to be awesome!!! I have one second shooter lined up to help me with the wedding. If any local photogs are interested in helping out as an additional second shooter just leave a comment...the experience is the pay.

I hope everyone's Holiday was a great one and your New Year's is off to a great start.
