New Years Update

With the start of the New Year in full swing, as always we have lots of great plans for the year and the things that we want to accomplish. This year is not any different. I did not keep up with my 365 days of photos very well. My plan this year is to post something every few months with the goings on in my life.

I have many new ideas that I want to try out and new places to shoot when the weather is nice. Looking forward to having lots of new faces in front of the camera this year too. Another item on the to do list is a new camera. I am also hoping to find a great point and shoot camera in the hopes of not bringing along the "good' ones to every family outing.

I have been a busy photographer already and have shoot postings to be watching for at the end of this month. Baby Amanda has turned 1! We had so much fun with this shoot and she enjoyed the cake that I brought along. It has been great watching her grow this year. This past week I have also gotten my fill of babies. I had two shoots with little girls, Hailey is 1 month and Samantha is almost 2 months. I tried out new and different ideas with both of them. My good friend Jenn had me shoot some of her and her family (parents, siblings and their children). We did them outside on a sunny Sunday afternoon after Christmas. They are a large family, one of the biggest that I have shot recently, and am looking forward to getting a few of them posted.

My little girl, who is 4, has been following in Momma's footsteps. She has been enjoying taking pictures with my old point and shoot and doing pretty well with it. It is so cute to watch her set things up just right to photograph them. I plan on doing a few posting of "Through the Eyes of a Child". Be sure to keep your eye out for them too.

So here is to a new year and all that it has to bring! I am so amazed at how much can change over a year and a half. I am very excited that I have been getting many requests for photo shoots. I am looking forward to sharing them all with you too!
Oh one more thing on the to do list. Get some great outdoor pictures of my family (parents, siblings and nephews too). I also want to try and get some "unposed" ones of Josh and I!
