I am back!

WOW is all I can say about my trip! I left at 4 in the morning and took a very long drive to a secret place in New Mexico. (I have to keep some things a secret right???) It RAINED the whole ride there. I was a bit dissapointed at first, but kept my chin up anyways. I was determined to meet Jerry Goffe, a well published National Geographic photographer. He was quite funny and the experience was wonderful. I learned a lot that is for sure. We DID have some time to go out and shoot a few photographs. But not as much as I would like to have had. The mosquito's were AWEFUL! I put on the HEAVY duty Off bug spray. But even with that on, they were buzzing around my ears, landing on my face, in my hair, on my hands and legs, landing on my lens so I could not take a picture, and everything! And not only was I fighting the bugs, but the rain as well! And by mid afternoon poored so hard we just packed up and drove the long ride home.

I was dissapointed that I did not bring more images. But I had such an awesome time that I will be going back as soon as I can. There was just too much NOT to photograph! One day was not enough time. And I will be taking the lessons I learned with me and bring back a LOT more images. We have made the decision to camp out near this place for a few days before fall comes. I will also be going back in November for a big photographic event! You don't want to miss that!

Until then, you can see the very few images I DO have here:

I hope you enjoy them! They will also be fore sale. If something interests you, please contact me and I will be happy to make it yours!

Thank you for looking!

Signing off...for now

As mentioned in a previous post, I told you that a very exciting project is on its way. Well so am I! Tonight I will be leaving to a secluded place in New Mexico to meet up with a seasoned National Geographic Photographer! It is still a big surprise as to WHAT I will be bringing to you folks. All I can say is that I hope to bring back a bit of New Mexico back with me to share...that is IF it does not rain on us.

Ta Ta for Now! :)

Unsuspecting...

I just love unsuspecting shots and the photojournalistic feel to them. They have no idea you took the photograph until afterwards. To me, it gives a more natural look, instead of posed shots. And in MY mind, can be more meaningful, and the soul is revealed.

Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.

Oh great!

Until then, I wanted to share an image from a wedding I recently went to. My family and I were previlaged to see DeAnna and Sam get married this past Saturday. It was a beautiful wedding! The wedding was as perfect as I have ever seen. From the bridesmaids dresses to the flowers. For once, it was nice to be a guest and not have to work...at least for this wedding as we have only been looking forward to it for over 8 years! So we celebrated...a lot!

Beautiful. That is what I think of when I see this photo I took of my daughter. I just love capturing these kind of moments. Natural lighting can be a good source of light when it comes to photographing. There is something about taking pictures IN the moment that makes them special!

A Surprise is on its way!

I am working on a beautiful Fine Art Photography project in the coming weeks! I am so blessed to have this opportunity! Keep your eyes on the look out as it gets closer to time. I will post here and let you know how it is going along the way, and when it is finally ready. If all goes well, I am hoping to bring back beautiful never seen before images to share. Until then, mum's the word!
