Baby Z

This precious little bundle of joy had to take a lot of side roads to finally get to her Mommy and Daddy as with her they were able to experience the amazing and wonderful experience of adoption. They were actually able to be there at the birth of their child and Z's Mommy watched her come into this world, and Daddy was right outside the door jumping up and down and was even able to come in and cut the cord. WOW! It makes me tear up just thinking about it. What an adorable little family. I am still working on the rest of her shoot, but thought I would through this little "tidbit" on first.

My Journey, My Story...

My journey really began when I became a Mom. Of course, to me, my child was the cutest thing there ever was. He changed so much and so fast, I just had to capture those moments. So, we would march on down to a local retail store and they would prop him up on a rickety old chair against a backdrop with footprints all over it, get my kid to crack a smile, blind him with a flash and there you had it. Back then, I didn't know any better, those pictures were PERFECT. Then I had our second child and once again I starting marching him down for the same old song and dance...but then I starting looking at the pictures. They were lacking something. Where was the energy and the emotion? Yeah, my kid looked evenly exposed and was smiling but there was just something so...STALE. So, I starting devouring everything I could about the wonderful and never ending world of photography. I was hooked. When the opportunity to get the camera of my dreams presented itself, I was beyond thrilled. I had a permanent indention of the viewfinder in my forehead and I couldn't have been happier. Whoever penned the phrase, "Pictures are priceless!" Never had it so right!

So that is why I take pictures: Not only because it brings me pure joy and a creative outlet (because I can't even draw a stick figure!) but it also gives me the chance to capture the light, the emotion, the energy, and the happiness that is in us all.

I take pictures to tell our stories...
