For A Moment Photography

Blue

We have had a great Holiday...  Our sleep schedule has been a little wacky.  My baby girl is ready for things to get back to normal...  

Here she is in bed with her (now four) night time blankets and Mr. Frog.

This photo I shot in color converted to black and white then faded to tone to more of a blue tone, It just fit the mood better... 

 I shoot everything in color and get the color settings right (in my view) using Photoshop and then covert the image to black and white...

Every photo I print has had some work done in PS3.

Very Merry

Ahhh...  A house always feels more like a home when it’s full with family and friends...  Wishing you and yours a very merry holiday season...

Christmas Treasures

Here are the little treasures I have found for this Christmas.  I found the doll over Thanksgiving, she’s just perfect- I love her heart shaped lips...  This is the doll Presley is holding in her Christmas photo...

The plate above is a small dish I found two for $0.50.  Presley uses 2nd hand china (saucers) for all her meals.  I think they are just beautiful and the perfect size for her.

The book, she is not quite ready for.  But, I couldn’t pass it up, the illustrations are so sweet...

A Perfect December Night

I love to decorate for Holidays and now that I have a daughter it’s become so much more exciting.  Each morning when we come down stairs to turn on the Christmas lights she is as excited as she was the very first day...

Today was a crazy day of kids, Holiday treats and even a visit from Mrs. Claus...  Ahhh...  

Tonight, I’m looking forward to spending the evening cozying up with a fire, Christmas music, Twinkling lights, my family and maybe even a glass of wine.

Christmas Card

Hopefully all of my Christmas cards have reached their final destination.  If not here it is.

  I use to make all of my Christmas cards.  I have used everything from old material, old cards, wire, buttons and beads.  This is the first year using a photo card...  I wasn’t real sure what I was going to do for a photo, this just happened.

The words written are lyrics from Stevie Wonders, “Someday at Christmas” song (lyrics below).  I honestly do not remember ever hearing this song- this verse really hit me.  I love the song but still did not plan on having it on my Holiday card...

I had taken Presley to a park to have her photo taken (second location) in front of a 40 foot Christmas tree made of tumble weeds.  We live in Arizona so it seemed fitting...  The tree turned out to not be what I expected (spray painted white).

Now after two different attempts at a Christmas photo I was still left with nothing and a week into December.  On our way home I stopped at my favorite photo location.  It’s on the way.

Later that night I uploaded all my photos and deleted any unusable photos, like I usually do.  As I began to delete this one (because of her eyes being closed)- this card popped in my head...

Turning a moment into a memory...

Someday at Christmas men won't be boys

Playing with bombs like kids play with toys

One warm December our hearts will see 

A world where men are free 

The Beginning

 

Ok, I’m committing.  I have been contemplating doing a blog for months now, but some how avoided it...  Now, I’m just going to jump in...  

 

I don’t have a plan- exactly.  As of this moment I plan to blog about my photography,  I guess a personal blog...  Because I photograph everything.  Hold on and let’s see where this goes!  

 

The photo above is my daughter, Presley Bo.  She is amazing.   You will see more of her...  

 

Not a fan of  “My Blog” I was a marketing major, so I’m going to need to work on that title...  It may take me some time.

This is as far as I’m getting tonight.  I have to sort through all the ideas in my head.
