Sharing the Love! This post an entry into a weekly challenge at “I Heart Faces” photo blog. One of my all time favorite images of my favorite girl. I can’t wait to see her again soon! She has the most amazing blue eyes
I love photography. Yes, it is a deep revelation
But I have to admit that I don’t enjoy ALL parts of photography. I don’t like the technical part which unfortunately, is very important. I don’t like it because I’ve never been good at math and I hate to think in numbers – the 1/125 of a second at f/4 and ISO 400. The pixels and megapixels, the bytes, the mega and gigabytes. Ugh. Growing up I only had to worry about mosquito bites and dog or horse bites. Much simpler – the first itches a lot and the second will land you in the ER. And creating a painting with paints and brushes is a lot simpler than worrying about the right f stop at the right shutter speed at the right ISO. But it also takes days. And that is why I chomp my way through the camera manual, tons of books and other educational resources and learn how to create the image I envision.
While I don’t enjoy getting into the technical part of things I do make myself learn and practice what is needed to achieve the results I desire. Even though I am known for my “just wing it” way of life – you may see me using my teeth instead of pliers and hammering a nail with a book when I can’t locate the proper tools – if I need to I will stoop down to the right procedures – I will call Apple Technical Support Genius Guy and keep him on the line with me for 45 minutes while they teach me to turn off, unplug and turn my computer back on. I will read through the manual and practice step by step tirelessly for hours until I figure out how to open an umbrella….yes, I am THAT dedicated to my Art.
But all joking aside, photography is a beautiful form of Art. It does take dedication, practice, creative vision and a little bit of talent to succeed. But from my observations of my peers people who have what it takes really enjoy the process of achieving success as much as they enjoy reaching the goal itself. For me the most enjoyable part of photography is being able to share my images with friends, clients and anyone who likes and appreciates my work. Thank you for visiting my blog and for reading through my rambles all the way down here!
A few weeks ago I was finally able to get my first professional brochures printed. I love how they turned out! You can find and pick up one of these at The Upper Crust Pizzeria in Newburyport.

This is one of my favorite families, so sweet and easy to photograph. They needed pictures to hang in their shop, you can see these at the Upper Crust Pizza in Newburyport - http://theuppercrustpizzeria.com/locations-newburyport.php. You have to try their pizza it is delicious!
As a mother of a wonderful son I have a soft spot for cute little boys. And these guys were the best. We had fun running in the tall grass, giggling, making faces and looking for bugs. Can you resist those cheeks?

Before I left on vacation I had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous little lady. She was the ideal newborn model, she slept like the Sleeping Beauty she is and allowed me to create these portraits for her parents to enjoy. I wonder what is she going to think of them when she’s all grown up?

Little Sam was the sweetest little model. He slept so well and I couldn’t get enough of him!
