In the spirit....

December is not here yet, but Christmas is in the air. We (and when I say we, of course I mean my DH) spent the day decorating the yard for the Christmas spirit. (I officiate ;) ) Last year as we were driving around, our son insisted that he wanted a nativity scene, and we looked everywhere for one. We had very little luck, but finally came across one the last week of the Christmas clearances. Well, we put it away and were excited to put it up today. The kids had hot chocolate tonight and got to put their ornaments on the tree. OH! How I love Christmas and all it stands for! Here is a picture of our little baby Jesus.

A full mooooon!

Okay...if you follow my blog you know how much I love the moon. This was taken right before dark tonight, and I love how big and beautiful the moon looked.

Tomorrow is a crazy fun filled day FULL of excitement! Hope you all have a wonderful night!

A true photographer's philosophy

Being a photographer is more than sitting down a family and shooting images for an hour while they play and then handing the client a disc of images. It is more than that. Anyone can do that. Photography is a passion that runs deep in those that have the education, passion and respect for our field and for our fellow photographers. It is a gift from Above, an eye, not something learned lightly. It is years of education, and practice and yearning for perfection in sweet simplicity.

The relationship (and I don't take this word lightly) is a relationship for life. You connect with these families, become one of their family for the day, and most of all create life long lasting memories for them. The relationship should not stop there. Each client needs and deserves that loving respect from signing their model release and beyond handing them their prints. Anyone can pick up a digital camera and produce images to sell, but I believe it takes something more to put those images on paper, the same way the family remembered that day.

Let me ask a question to those who have a digital camera? Or have had sessions done and not had your images printed? How many images stay on your computer? Do they really get to see the light? Are they printed and posted for others to enjoy the pure bliss of that day captured? Or is that moment in time lost forever on a CD? Don't let your treasured family moments become a lapse in time.

Photography is a love affair with light. How light changes, how it moves, and how you capture its essence with a camera. Because of new technology and software, these images can be enhanced in ways that no one has seen before. No more is it necessary to have muddy black and white images or washed out color. These images should reflect love. To me it is a love affair with photography.

Crazy weekend ahead!

Okay so I am sooo swamped and behind in my work! SHHH! DON'T TELL ANYONE! Hahah But I wanted to post that I am heading to bed early AGAIN tonight because I am NOT feeling well! I steamed my carpets and that took it out of me. I worked allllll day long and my desk chair is tired of visiting with my toosh! But my seniors are done! Hehehe... Meet Mr. Acuna!

We have a wild and fun weekend ahead... Hope you all have a safe and happy weekend!

Mounds of candy?

What do you do with the mounds of candy left over from Halloween? I mean, usually we pitch it but this year the kids got a lot of chocolate (mostly thanks to Grandma and Grandpa!) But, how bad do you feel throwing it away?


Candy party at my house, y'all? hahah Okay.. I am actually going to bed before 10! Can you IMAGINE? Whoofta. This bug is getting to me! Have a great night and be safe!
