A:Mini Session

I am so pleased with the results of this spontaneous mini session with my lil' cousin. She knows how to be herself and bring what she wants forward. :) And of course she looks adorable.
I came away from this mini session confident in my abilities. It had been awhile since I'd done a session,but it felt good to come back to it naturally and simply. :)
I know I've been so neglectful of this blog, but I can't promise anything more what with my computer still acting up and my time being very limited. But I am learning, or have learned, to take photos every chance I get and not give up just because I can't do it as much as I would like.
I'm actually in the process of considering whether I should take a year or so after I graduate to focus on my photography as I  haven't been able to, or if I should head straight into college...I'm not sure yet but prayers, advice, and good thoughts are welcome!

 Wow. I love when my subjects get it- get that the pictures are about them, should reflect their personality and should be completely individualized. This incredible woman got it. As you can see, she rocked this session. She chose a place that was special to her-that meant a lot and that she could be herself in.The place where she creates her world, her art, and where he passion becomes materialized. But go check her out for yourself. :)

One thing I learned from this session is to trust my instincts more-if I think something will look good or not look good, I should try it out before shoving it to the side.If I'm the photographer-the artist, the creator, then I have all I need inside of me to bring the spark, the love and light to my images-and when it comes to people I have all I need to bring it out in them and capture it in my photos. With G-D's help always!

I've been working in the garden...

I know I haven't posted much lately-I've been taking pictures,as you see, but its been so hot, and I've been so busy. :) But I'm getting ready to really hit my business-total revamping so far as marketing and etc goes. I'm really looking forward to getting it off the ground in a much more serious way. :) For now, I hope you enjoy my random picture posting.

I had so much fun with this impromptu lil' session. And with the editing- actions!! This is my cousin- she was on here before. Isn't she a cutie!?  I did her mother's pregnancy session...now she's a model herself. Hee hee.

S :Train Station Shoot

I cannot seem to conjure up a more clever title for this picture post. But maybe the photos will speak for themselves.
A very few weekends ago I did a session with my cousin, who is an aspiring actor/ model. He needed some headshots and such, so mom had the brilliant idea to do it at the local train station!!!! Here is a picture of this lovely, rustic, place in the city. It is a magnificent location for masculine or even early 20th century themed shoots. The inside is very nice, but the lighting was incredible outside, and the stationary train provided a wonderful background.

I hope you enjoy- if you are looking for an actor or model and you are located in south central Pennsylvania, email me with questions!
I am still working out signature kinks- realizing them, more like it. :)
