Branson : 6 months

Over the weekend I got the pleasure of photographing Baby Branson and some of his family.  Can I just say that this little boy is SO loved and you can see it in EVERY single picture.  



He did such a great job and tolerated me so well even without a nap.






 Amber was so excited for the shoot and she has been very excited about her pictures and I am so happy with the way they turned out.  I think it has to be a record (at least for me) to have all of the 156 pictures edited in lightroom and photoshop in 2 days!!!  She has already told me that we would most likely be doing more in the near future  (YAY-I am so excited to see Branson grow)!

 I always have to get the little tings too!  Little feet (in cute shoes might I add!) and precious little hands holding onto mommy's finger---I know I always loved that feeling so it means a lot to be able to remember that forever!


Thank you Amber, Branson, "Baba" Tanya, and "Unk-Unk" Blake for letting me take your picture.

well here we go...

Blogging is new to me and I am still not sure I have everything right, but I am starting anyways!  I have been reading a few friends blogs lately and I know that many "small business" people have blogs, so I thought that I would start one of my own.  And I guess I'll start by telling a little bit about myself and my family.

I am a young mother of 3 children.  All under 5.  Hayden is 4, Adicen is 2, and Lexi just turned 1...I know, whew, I have my hands full!!  I wouldn't have it any other way though, if I didn't have them to keep me busy I don't know what I would do.  I have been married to my husband for 3  1/2 years now and we have been together for 7 years.  He was and is my high school sweetheart <3 !  I have been taking classes for a bachelors in science in photography at the art institute of Pittsburgh Online for 2 years now...I'm only a part time student, 2 classes per quarter, so my graduation is still pretty far away, 2016....But I can't wait to have that piece of paper!  I love to take pictures and capture all your feelings on 'film'.  So far I have been doing pictures for close friends and family and a few people that have come across me on Facebook.  I would like to be a famous photographer one day but it's pretty hard to get famous in this business, so I will settle for one day opening and running my own studio or business and being successful. 

hhhmmmm...that really doesn't tell you who I am does it?  I am a woman, a mother, a wife, a friend, a photographer, and much, much more.
