Found my niche (or not)

I would love to be the type of photography that captures beautiful scenes, but the fact of the matter is that I'm not. I'm okay with that because I've decided it's not gonna stop me from at least trying. I usually find that the way I see the subject in my mind is NOT usually the way it looks through my lens. So here are a few shots that I took that really surprised me when I saw the final product. I hope you enjoy! 

Sunday Brunch

One Sunday, after being invited to brunch, I decided that I was going to carry my camera with me wherever I go. This was a big deal for me because I feel like people expect a lot from you when you carry a camera around. (Crazy thinking)

So here are some photos from that day!

Welcome back!

So it's been over a year since I've posted to this blog.  There's been some picture-taking that happened in the year, but not as much as there should have been.  I would really like to rectify that in this coming year.

So let me catch you up...I've received a new lens and flash for Xmas.  They are both wonderful (even thought I still haven't figure out how to use the flash).  I mostly shoot outdoors in natural light.  I've shot kids, pregnant co-workers and co-workers.  I still haven't learned to use photo shop (any teachers out there), so most of my pictures are either cropped or perfect-in-camera.  Believe me...I throw out a lot of photographs. Honestly, it teaches me to really take in the scenery before I snap.  So I would say it's a good thing.  

I've discovered and listened to a lot of music in the past year. 

Alabama Shakes - Southern Rock, but so much better.

Melody Gardot - Crooner - the girl can sing.

The Lumineers - What can you say about them? If you haven't heard them, take a listen. 

Anyways, here's a few shots:. 

They could basically be twins.  

Sisters

Beautiful Mommies!
