If only I could spend every day climbing trees, laying on the ground, or crawling over obstacles to take pictures of beautiful smiles like this one.  One day, I will be known enough to earn my living by doing this full time.

There are a few areas for where I live that are go to places when doing outdoor shoots, like this creek, but finding new places to explore and shoot at can add new things and ideas.

I started practicing with my new camera yesterday.  I shall have to see the results as soon as I get a new cable to get the photos on to the computer.

This image sat locked away for a year and a half without getting edited or even looked at again, as I wasn't happy with it when I first took the picture.  But now, as my editing style has changed, and the way I look at pictures has changed, I decided it did look nice enough to get an edit. 

You never know where you might find your next inspiration for shoots.  I lucked out by chatting with this model at her job one day, and finding out she sometimes does live modeling for drawing classes at the local university.  I asked if she had thought about modeling for a photographer.  And the rest is history.  We are currently working on a third shoot for her, which will involve a costume for Halloween.  I have loved both of her sets so far.

When you get a cancellation, that usually means you end up going home with nothing, but on this day I put up a message saying I was available, and one of my models sent her friend in for this shoot.  I was lucky to have someone that liked my shooting enough to help me out.

Mostly caught up on all my shoots this weekend, which is perfect, as I purchased a new camera body.  Now to organize some more shoots so I can test it out.

Had some fun on the first workshop I had ever done over 3 years ago.

I like to look back at old photos to see where I started, but also do new edits to them with the things I have learned over the past few years.  This way you will get to see where I have come from as well.
