Winter Photography

The snow here is...everywhere, in heaps and heaps taller than the kids and taller than I.  It is three winters worth in one.  We haven't really been out to speak of because the temps have been so cold... until today.  Such a fun day in the snow!  Even for the one (or two) who usually rant and growl through the hardest months of cold and darkness.  One of those is me.  If you're wondering how I've gotten through it, Google Omi - Cheerleader remix, listen to it, dance around wherever you are, close your eyes and you will believe you are at a dance party in Jamaica with your feet in the sand. But.. today it was actually warm and bright!  I had to put my sunglasses on, which reminds me of last year when I walked around for about a day, I think, with only one lens in my sunglasses... by mistake.  I swear it's not as obvious as you would imagine.  Whenever I put sunglasses on now.. if I don't get a really good look at them before I stick them on my face, which is always, I attempt to poke both of my eyes out just to be sure I got two lenses.  It is just a thing you do if you don't have enough time to look at your sunglasses before you put them on your face.

I hope your day was sunshine-y day, wherever you are!

Here Comes the Sun

“Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like?"...
"It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine...”  

-Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

It's all personal.. and free!

That quote is probably everything I want to say in 11 words.

But if you know me, you know that I start every conversation - present every new idea, with some sort of prelude that is too long and unnecessary.  My blog can't be different.  It just.. can't. 

I feel compelled to tell you a weird story from my childhood.  It begins with me being a really great student.  But I.. have always had a hard time with people assessing my work... looking at it.  For me to create something and put it out there - was super hard.  I would pass in a paper or test and leave the room... or ignore the person reading it.  I always wanted the person to read it.  I thought it was good and I don't share things I'm not proud of.  I just never wanted to be present for the reaction, even if it was a good one.

The internet has been a good thing for me in that way.  It gives me an opportunity for me to put myself out there.. which I have been longing to do, but I don't have to see you guys read it.

 

So... thanks for vising my site.

 

Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to share my work.

 

Please check out the tabs on the top if you have interest.. but ignore the "fees" in the session tab.

For a while, I'd love to do some sessions for you guys.. for FREE.. so I can gain some footing!  Get some experience.  I don't know how long that will last?  Probably not long.

Share with your friends.  If you like it.. and ONLY if you like it!
