What a great weekend with my family!

So glad to have spent the weekend with my wonderful family- Haley Jean was in from college, big pot of chili with homemade pimento cheese, peanut butter cookies and pumpkin spice cupcakes... carving pumpkins and spent the day on Sunday at the family reunion catching up with those that I don't get to see often! I'm beyond blessed. NOW TONIGHT IT'S TIME FOR an Editing marathon! Have lots of sessions to finish up and more to get ready for! October is in full swing around here! Happy Fall Ya'll!

My first Job

As most of you know who read my blog; I am also a media specialist during the day, placing employment ads for a large newspaper in my area.  I've been in the newspaper/ecommerce business for as long as I can remember- All together- two different papers for a total of about sixteen years! and I wouldn't trade it for anything... yes, sometimes I could scream when we are slow, or when things just don't seem to be going my way; but for the most part I LOVE my job and love the people I work with, they are more like family to me than co-workers... the iphone photo below is of  our second day of training- which was four hours long each day! Vince was overall a great speaker and motivator!

Training DAY 2!


Late night random thoughts! Just Me

I've been giving photography a lot of thought lately, and have invested lots of money and time into what I love to do.  I really do enjoy making people feel good about themselves and feeling confident that they can have beautiful pictures.  My photography business is growing all the time, I'm always learning new things to put into practice and I'm learning to manage my time more effectively so that I'm not staying up too late- Gotta catch some zzzzzz you know! I'm looking forward to seeing where else 2014 leads me- Please say a prayer that my path is good.

Just me! Leaving for work! I'm not much of a selfie person- but sometimes I do feel that my makeup looks good enough- that I can pull off one. lol

Just a bad burn on my left hand- blistered up and everything from the airbag burns. and I'm pretty banged up! but I will be ok.  I didn't realize how bad I miss having a camera in my hand until I was told I couldn't. :( If you're looking to book senior portraits give me a call or message me- I'm starting to book into June for senior sessions.
