Photography: Beach Camping

Took my camera camping with my family at the end of March. Finally finished editing them last week and wanted to post them here, because these are some of my favorites.

I recently booked ten photo shoots. These are all free while I’m learning and building my portfolio, but I’m so excited people trust me to take their photos. In a few months, I’ll share some favorites as I get ready to launch a real business.

Photography: Denio’s Farmers Market

My skills aren’t growing as fast as I want them to. I have several photo shoots lined up in the next few weeks and I’m suddenly aware of how scary this all is. Yes, I’ve been playing with my camera for years, but it’s only been a few months since I took it seriously. I’ve jumped in with both feet and I’m flailing a bit.

Photography: Updates from my Backyard

Just popping in from the land of editing to share with you a few quick shots taken with my iPhone in the backyard yesterday. I also want to share exciting things happening:

  • My short story collection book has a name and an ISBN number.
  • I’ve hired an artist to create a book cover and it should be done in February.
  • Yesterday, a kindergartner told me I was pretty.
  • I’ve decided on a new photo project—portraits of strong women. I’ve got the first three models/friends booked and I’m excited to see how this grows.
  • Tonight, I’m going to an art event celebrating Rebels, which is the exact energy I want to bring into this year.
  • Bubbles and sunshine filled my yard again.
  • I recently got Lightroom. My photos might look a bit different as I figure out how to use this new software, but I’m excited for a new challenge.
  • My camellias and daffodils are blooming.
  • My 5-year-old nephew is obsessed with gnomes and it’s the best thing over.
  • Tomorrow I’m taking my daughter to see Ramblin’ Jack Elliott and I get to wear my old cowboy boots.

The world feels like such a mess, so I hope you forgive my need to celebrate all the things. Tell me something good happening in your backyard today and I hope you have a fantastic week.
