Just Playing with my Camera.

Did you ever have your mind made up you want to do something, but something prevents you from doing it? Well, the other day I had a photo shoot scheduled and had to cancel do to weather.  I still wanted to take pictures. I wanted to do that all day long. I just couldn't find a model. I spent the day shopping for photo props, came home and made my dinner, and drove through the neighborhood looking for  a model--to no avail. I had bought an old chair during my shopping (antique stores and yard sales) so I took it down to my studio and set a scene. My dog, Coco, followed me so I got her to jump on the chair and pose. I grabbed my camera and snapped a few pictures. I couldn't believe how good she sat, with her legs crossed in front of her. I took about 6 pictures and suddenly she jumped up and ran out of the studio. I could not get her back. She wouldn't even come to the door. It was short but sweet.

The Farrier

I am getting ready to build a website for a Farrier (that is someone who shoes horses). I spent some time photographing him at work. Hard work. I was amazed at how the horses stood still while he did this. Of course I didn't stick around for the "crazy" horse. Maybe I should have, you never know what kind of photos you might get. I was very pleased with the photos I got, and I especially like this new technique for editing.

New Pricing for Booking through the end of May!

I have decided to run a special for the next month, but my webmaster is out of the country so I cannot make changes on my website. Anyone who books through the end of May--there will only be $100. sitting fee. That is a $50. savings. Also, I have put together a package that includes 2- 8x10's, 4 - 5x7's, and 16 wallets for only $25. Huge savings, so book now.

Spring is a wonderful time to take family photos so act now!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Introducing Maci

Sorry for the delay. I have been on vacation to visit my family. Maci was just 2 weeks old when these pictures were taken. She was a perfect model allowing me to move her in just about any position. She slept through most of the photo shoot, which is really what I wanted. Her mother made sure to feed her just before I arrived and she turned the heat up to 80 degrees so Maci would be comfortable when we removed her clothes.

My First Maternity Shoot

 

I had my first maternity shoot today and was pleased with the results. I had a great model, Laura, who was open to just about anything and she is cute to boot. My sister-in-law, Barbara, assisted me and, I couldn't have a better assistant. It just made for a perfect day of shooting.

Most maternity shots should be done in the eighth month and not at the last minute. We were a little worried Laura might go into labor before the pictures. If you want a maternity session, schedule for your eighth month.  

Laura is due any day and I will be doing her newborn shots as well so keep checking in for an update.

Snow in Georgia

Ah, the beautiful snow! At the first sign of a snowflake, I grab my camera and head out the door. Taking pictures of snow is like playing in snow to others. I am so glad we had so much snow this year. Of course, I'll be glad to see it go so, Spring can begin. I have put off so many outdoor photo shoots because of the weather.

Little Caroline

I could look at Caroline all day long! 

There is nothing more precious than newborn babies, and we need to capture these moments while we can. They grow so quickly. It seems like only yesterday I had my first child and she's ready to have her own. Now the grandchildren have begun to arrive  and unfortunately they do not live near me. I have to wait months at a time to hold them and play with them. These pictures are all I have in between visits. And what grandmother does not want to share pictures of her grandchildren with all her friends? If you want to share photos of your children or grandchildren, I can help.

I would love to photograph your newborn so call today.
