I have the best job! I sincerely love what I do and can’t imagine doing anything else (so this better work out for me 
). I love creating gorgeous images. After I finish a shoot, I sometimes literally cannot wait until I get back home and get them on my computer to look at! I hope that feeling never goes away. I know several photographers who have lost that feeling and have forgotten how much fun creating beautiful images can be. I don’t ever want it to feel like a job or work to me. I feel so fortunate that I have found something that I love to do when so many people out there can’t stand their job. I’m blessed!
I was also lucky enough photograph Stacey. We’ve known each other ever since….gosh, I think Jr. High? Maybe even longer! We went out this past weekend and froze our booties off. My fingers were so cold that even though I was trying to maneuver the buttons and dials on the back of my camera quickly, my fingers were slow due to their numbness! Stacey was a real trooper though and we got some amazing shots!
Get comfy, I have lots of favorites today.
You’ll see Stacey laughing in several of these photos. We laughed a LOT!
Since it was cold out, I told Stacey to bring a cute scarf or hat. She didn’t disappoint! Little accessories like that make pictures even more fun. I loved all the colors in hers.
We had LOTS of fun!
LOVE these next two!
I think this one is my favorite of the entire session.
Stacey, you rocked this session in front of my camera! I hope you had as much fun as I did!
Can I just ask what is the deal with the Texas weather this week? All week we had gorgeous weather and today I wake up to weather in the 40’s! I like the cold as previously stated in this post, but I like some consistency too.
Anyway, I really enjoyed the theme this week and had lots of fun with it. Just a little FYI- I love anything with colors so this week meshed well with me.

Saturday 1-30-10 Sometimes I like to incorporate my daily life into these themes if possible. Harley went to the beauty salon this morning and came back looking gorgeous as always. It’s such a relief to be able to see her eyes again!
Today was a beautiful day outside. I loved it! I know I’m going to yearn for days like today once July and August come around. For that reason, today I decided to take full advantage of the gorgeous weather while we have it. This afternoon I took Harley to the park. And she loved it. This dog goes crazy over running in fields. She had a blast. And I had a blast watching her.
I brought my camera along to take a picture for my 365 project. Before we left, I made sure to grab a couple of Harley in the gorgeous sun.
Her hair is in her face in this one but I love it anyway. She had been running ahead when I called her, and she stopped and turned back to look at me.
I guess I should start this post off by saying that I don’t pick these topics all by myself. I participate in an online photography group, and several of the photographers on there also decided to do a 365 project. Each week a new person picks the topic. We have several of Australian photographers on there, so this week while us American peeps (yes, I did just say peeps) were trying to photograph interesting things in mostly dead gardens everyone from Australia was coming up with beautiful images with such colorful flowers. It made me jealous. I think I’m going to revisit this theme once spring rolls around. It’ll give us Americans a chance to get some color.
Sunday 1-17-10 The only thing colorful I found were green weeds.
Monday 1-18-10
Tuesday 1-19-10 I really like the yellow and brown tones in this one.
Wednesday 1-20-10 The roses aren’t around this time of year, but the thorns are always there.
Thursday 1-21-10 I found this little guy Thursday. Don’t ask me what kind of bug he is, I have no idea.

Saturday 1-23-10 Yesterday morning Dad was working in the yard and saw this spider. He was probably resting after a long hard night of making this insanely huge web. He gives me the creeps just looking at him.
One of the things I wanted to tackle the year was to really create a brand for myself and define what I want my business to say. I realized that my blog and website weren’t really reflecting what I want my work to say. I love dark brown, however it was pointed out to me that brown kind of says traditional. And when I thought about it, I realized that I agreed.
So at the end of December I teamed up with Lynsey for a little branding makeover. With her uber fabulous help, we created something that’s more me and reflects my style of work Fresh, fun and sophisticated. And I LOVE it.
Along with the blog makeover, Lynsey also helped me with my new logo.
If you need any design work done, shoot Lynsey and email. I know she would love to work with you!
