Some days are like that…

My favorite children’s book is Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst.

I love this book because we all have bad days, and it seems like on those days things just get worst.  I think this photo depicts  a day like that.  As Alexander says in the book “some days are like that”

Purse Swap

I had the opportunity to photograph some beautiful woman.  They all participated in a Purse Swap.  The purse swap is when you bring all of your purses you are no longer using and trade them for purses other ladies are no longer using.  I think it’s a genius idea, and a great way to stay trendy without breaking the bank.  As part of the purse swap I got to photograph these gorgeous woman.  Here are some of my favorites.

Little Mann

The Mann family was such a fun family to photograph.  Little Mann kept me on my toes going from one exciting thing in the park to the next.  I am glad we took some time to capture the romance between Brad and Michelle, of course it’s always nice to sneak in a family photograph as well.  They are an amazing family and it was my joy to capture them being them.

Tutus

I am not sure what it is about tutus that makes an already adorable little girl just that much more precious.  Lillian was no exception.  I love the images we captured with her tutu.  dscf2266

Nature

I have come to learn that photographing nature expands my ability to photograph people.  It is a different skill set that makes a great nature photograph.  I have come across a variety of photographers that create amazing landscape but have no interested in people.  I have found that nature challenges you to look at angles differently.  It challenges to make the ordinary look extraordinary.  It allows your mind to work in a different way.  I think those skills and challenges that nature lends it’s self to allows me to be a better portrait photographer.  I appreciate the chances I get to play with my camera and push myself to something different then I have always done.  I had that chance on a recent trip to California.  We visited a Botanical Garden.  Here are a few of the photographs that I captured.

Miss Nora

Miss Nora is a firecracker.  She is full of life and on the run.  She defiantly kept me on my toes. I enjoyed so much getting to photograph those beautiful blue eyes.  She was a lot of fun.  She kept me smiling.  I am sure she’ll be a big help when her little sister arrives in a few months.
