Favorite photos.

Here are some of my absolute favorite photos. I have so many more but here are a few that I just love! The middle one is a photo that I submitted to Hollister to be published and the the top one is a photo that has been published in a book called Library of photos. I will post more of my favs later. Thanks for looking.





Pregnancy/Maternity pics....It's all about the belly!!!


More pregnancy pics.

I had so much fun with this shoot. We took so many pictures and I had them all over their house. They were the best models ever. I even got to try out my cool, handy (not) dandy black velvet backdrop. OK, it was a piece of velvet but I have to start somewhere right?





Wow, the difference light can make...amazing!


See the difference light can make. I really wanted to have an outline image look to one of her photos to 'showcase' her shape. It worked and I think the happy couple and parents to be will be happy with the results.

First maternity photo shoot. What fun!
















Posting away.

I am just having way too much fun with this photo blog. I have so much to share and have posted my fingers off...LOL.

The difference in turning a not so fantastic shot into a beautiful thing.




Gotta love BW photos....OK, you don't have to but I LOVE 'em




These are screaming...make me into a card!




These photos are just screaming...make me into a card. How great they would be with just the right caption.


Full BW Collage



A full BW collage. I am still not happy with this layout at all but I will continue to work on it. This really can show you that you can take an ordinary lake and make it look like you were at the beach somewhere NOT in Ohio...say South Carolina or something like that. This was a fun day of snapping pictures of my son at East Fork before his rowing crew practice.

The opportunity knocked and I took it!

Again, I told you that I took over 300 pics of this kid that day and this was just precious. She was talking on the phone just like a grown up would and the pic of her BW with color bevel inset (with graphic phone wrap) was just priceless. She was just jabbering away with her little arm propped up on the sill....priceless I tell you, just priceless. Had to share! Again and again, love collage work.

More collage work...BW with color mix.


I took all these pics of my beautiful great niece and just had to use them some how. I decided to do this. I took over 300 pics of this kid throughout the day. I really wish I would get to see more of her. She is a cutie patootie for sure.

LOVE collage work.


One of my other passions that I just love to create is photo-collage work. This has become quite popular with many of my customers and I often get requests to turn these creations into cards for the thank you cards from parties. Quite interesting and you can do many, many things with the pics from an event. The possibilities are endless with this kind of work. Time consuming but worth it!
ABOVE CROCS RULE COLLAGE INGREDIENTS: This collage photo ingredients are: mosaic background manipulated image, backlit (yellow) King Candy font, outline black for photos, same font.

Portrait photos.





OK, maybe not a full clothing change but I did get him to change out the outer shirt. He was such a blessing and trooper for me. The pics turned out great and the funny thing is that when I went to get these printed at Walgreens they argued with me that they were professionally done and said that I could not print them at their facility. I quickly ran to my car, retrieved my camera, and showed them that they were on my memory stick/camera and that they indeed were my photos and my work. They still made me sign a form.

Here are some more poses that I put my son in. I loved doing this and as you can see from the other pics...it was a few hours work with him. I even made him change clothes a couple of times. By the time we were finished...my son hated my new Nikon!




Portrait photos and head shots galore!


Here is a portrait picture of my son Cameron. This was taken 2 years ago when I was first starting out and really fell in love with photography.

Variety of photos.

I have started this blog, initially, to put all my stamping and scrapbooking creations on this now....I am definitely going to use this for my photography. I would like to share my world and view with those around me. I hope you enjoy the little snips of time that I have captured in my camera. Enjoy the view!
