Paint is fun!

This paint is GREAT!!! It is super washable, so I never have to worry about the kids getting it on themselves or anything else. But they never do that right? Of course not, only a little bit........

.......of skin left flesh color!
A little time on the trampoline with the hose and you couldn't even tell they were COVERED before!
Also, I am currently photographing friends and family as portfolio building practice!! If you are interested, please let me know.

So I just received my new fixed 50mm lens in the mail yesterday.....YIPEEE! It is everything I hoped for. Here's a sample...

LOVE.....................

So the last pics look a little out of focus-BUT -I didn't resize them for posting. Oops. Lesson learned, they are beautiful if you click on them and go full size. I am always trying to be a better photographer. I am learning and always looking to improve. It is hard to put yourself out there when you are open for criticism. I am a fairly private person, even shy at times. I guess I would say reserved. So putting my art on display for all to see is a new experience for me. I was inspired by other photographer blogs, as well as other moms who are allowing everyone to see that they love being a mom. It comes with so many challenges and joys. Please visit two of my personal favorite blogs.....www.andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com  or

 So I took these yesterday, it was overcast and just so nice outside I couldn't resist!

Welcome....

Happy September! Welcome to my blog. While my website is under construction, I will be posting to my blog. If you are interested in having pictures taken please email me or call...520.270.7314. If I don't answer it's because I am picking up, dropping off, fixing, making, wiping, helping, or ...wait what was I doing? Actually, I am not forgetful, or disorganized. I like to call it prioritized. I LOVE taking pictures, and  I also just started including myself in my pictures....I decided to start using the timer on my fantastic new camera to include myself in pictures with my kids. I want them to be able to look back on their childhood and see that I was right there with them. More pics to come and more info to come......
