Dose of Inspiration...

For the past few days I have been working on my application for graduate school. Part of the application requires a personal statement of 500 plus words. I have had the hardest time getting started with this statement. I have tried several different angles but nothing would flow as I would like it to. When I write something I have to have some sort of inspiration to get going...when I do my writing just starts to flow. Once I found a source of inspiration I was able to get started but still was having a difficult time in completing the process, so today I took a mental break from the statement and went outside to enjoy the beautiful Phoenix weather we are blessed with during this time of year. I packed my camera bag and headed to Discovery Park in Gilbert. What falls is the result of this break...and I am happy to say that it worked...I came home afterwords and was able to finish the statement. Now I just have a few finishing touches to the application and I can submit it and wait (so much fun!) The first photo is what got my brain into writing gear...what follows the redhead is what came from an afternoon of seeking inspiration...hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Update to this post:

I am finished editing photos from the Miss JoJo and Mr. P. shoot. I wanted to share a few more of my faves:

I love Miss JoJo's eyes in this one:




This one just begged to be edited in vintage:




I had the opportunity to do a photo shoot of a family members adorable children last weekend. I had a blast following Miss JoJo around the park in her beautiful bright clothes and a smile to match. Both kids are super cute with the most beautiful eyes ever! Here are a few photos that I have edited already:
