My Calling

Eureika!!! I have found it! My calling...

How adorable is this family?!

I had a photo shoot yesterday with a lovely and patient family at a prime location in SC. They knew that they were my first, and I couldn't have asked for more. The boys (3 and 7) were boys - powered by rocket fuel, but so good for me and my camera. And just adorable to boot. The parents had obviously had a long day, but were so understanding a congeial through my suggestions of trapsing hither and yon for the light and scenery. Oh, and did I mention that this was all inbetween a birthday party and a wedding that was happening while we were skulking around to take pictures. What a time! Enough of my babbling, here are the some photos I've had the opportunity to edit:

What a gorgeous place to live.

This shot was their idea. I think it was pure genious!

September Second Monday

I am fascinated how some people can be talented (artistically speaking) and be great at what they do, a success even and it's just blah, blah, blah. On the other hand, some people take what they have been given and spread it around to all the world and use it for the benefit of all - and it's effortless! That's how I feel about this month's Second Monday speaker Beth Reynolds.

She stood in front of us and showed just a few, of what I am sure are hundreds of projects that she has been a part of that have impacted people's lives. Who knew that a photographer could help orphaned children find parents, raise (substantial) money for cancer research, help ease the difficulties of dyslexic children and give a voice to women on welfare to the legislators that need to hear... all with her art. Amazing. Beth is the type of person that makes you feel as though you were put on this earth for a larger purpose, just by being near her!

Truly an inspiration... I know that I feel the need to be much better and bigger after that hour.

Thank you.
