Friday at the Library

Last Friday, Mallory and I took a little trip to the library to meet with another local photographer. Since we both have kids, we decided to get together in a child-friendly location. Morgan has two beautiful little girls, Ava and Stella. Mallory doesn't spend a whole lot of time around other kids, so she was loving the new attention that she was getting. Of course, being photographers, we both had our cameras and I couldn't help but capture these cute little faces. Thanks for the wonderful visit and we will have to do it again soon!

Black and White

This weeks contest at iheartfaces is Black & White.

Here is my child submission:


And my adult submission:

Love the face

A few nights ago, while playing with my new lens, I was taking some pictures of Mallory and Brent. I was trying to catch some father/daughter moments between the two. I was looking for the smiles that they give each other, but obviously she wasn't in the mood. Instead we got some looks that have a question written all over them. Its almost like she using her eyes to ask her dad what he is doing. I just love them!

New Lens

This week I bought a new lens for my camera. I have been thinking about it and talking about it for a few months, so I finally just made the decision to get it. I can say that I'm definitely glad that I made the purchase. I love the lens and the pictures that it takes. I have been playing around taking some pictures and testing different elements out. Here are just a couple of shots I've taken. Of course they involve my favorite subject!

My Crazy Little Girl

I absolutely love being a mom! I have to say that it is one of the best things ever. I always knew that I wanted kids and now that I have Mallory, I know exactly why I wanted them. Brent and I have been blessed with a little girl who is happy all the time. She has her moments, but even when she is fussy, you can normally get a smile out of her. I also love that I'm a photographer and I have my very own model in my house. I can pose her or just catch her being silly and capture some of the best memories of her growing up. She is just silly and when I get shots like these two, I just can't help but get a huge grin on my face and say "Wow! She is mine!"
