i want to do this!

I really do want to do this as a job!  I am not saying I am ready to sign up for weddings, but I'd love to do babies, 1 year old (or any year), engagement, and bridal portraits.  I love it.  Here is what I have been up to this summer. 

 Alison, who I have just discovered to be my new model. Where have I been??

engagement pictures

About a month ago, I took engagement pictures.  Here are just a few to see.  We had fun, the couple must have taken lesson on how to smile and look cute!

for my friend, Ashley

Ashley asked me to do this hymn like this, it has taken me forever.  It was too much to do the whole hymn, so I did the first stanza.  And she says she loves it, I hope so!
I am going to put them in order of my favorites first.

This last one I was playing around with Photshop....funnnnn.

here goes...

So, in an attempt to get people to want to use me for their photography, I am creating this blog.  I am going to create business cards too.  I have realized this is what I LOVE to do.  It makes me want to go to "work."  My friend, Karen, asked me to take pictures of her daughter.  And in doing that, I really felt like if Karen could ask me to do that and feel confident in me, then I should get into this!  I had so much fun working on Kate's pictures.  I felt like, wow, this is what it is like to love your job.  So, if you are reading this, please use me! And tell your friends too also.  And the great thing about me is: I am starting out, so the fees would be REALLY LOW--pretty much just a little gas money to get me there...and for you Greenville people, don't worry I won't charge for the real drive from Atlanta to Greenville!! BECAUSE, I really want to do this.


So, I will start posting pictures I take for you to enjoy....and hopefully you will like them.
