Doing something Right


Last night I did my first maternity shoot. All I've really ever done has been weddings, but I've always wanted to use my studio lights. I've played with them on a few shoots, but I've never really been totaly happy with the outcome.

Well, last night things came together for me like they never have before. I really was sure just what or how I was going to shoot this, but I had looked at some other works on the internet and kinda had an indea.

My little couple last night was so much fun to work with, it was so easy. I gave them ideas and then let them tell me what they wanted... it was just fun and an hour or so was gone in no time.

I worked on the pictures this morning before going to work and one that really just stands out to me... I just had to send it to (of all places) Wal-Mart.. I just had to see the print as an 8x10... that's as big as I can go at the 1 hour processing...

When I went to pick it up they wouldn't give it to me... they even got the asst store manger back there.. I told them it was MY work and they asked.. 'Are you a professional?' and with a lot of pride I said YES I AM... (I still had to sign a copyright form stateing it was my work) .. So I guess my work is better than I think.. I'm always second guessing myself and my work...

Things are looking up...

The Birds


I had to take the birdfeeders down Sunday afternoon before Hurricane Gustav hit. Then I got back home yesterday the between rain storms the little birds would visit looking for something to eat.

When I got home today I put all the feeders back up and within 10 minutes there were birds everywhere.

I enjoy watching them go and come... I wish I could be more like the little birds... they just seem to know that all is going to be ok... ME all I do is worry about things I have no control over.
