For A Moment Photography

Unraveling

I have spend more hours than I wish to think about in front of my computer today.  Not only have I had photos to edit but I have also had on going computer problems I'm trying to sort out.  Thankfully I had my daughter to distracted me for a few hours this afternoon.  Now that she is tucked away sleeping I am back on the computer (back hurting and all).  

Right now it I sort of feel like I have a huge bundle of string in a mangled mess.  Slowly I'm starting to unravel it...  I've had to figure out a new process to save, transfer and show my clients their photos.  Which isn't hard to do it's just been a process I'd rather not have to deal with. 

While going through my images tonight and reorganizing them I ran across this photo of Presley.  I hadn't ever edited it so I decided to do so tonight. 

 How does time seem to stand still and fly by at the same time?...  So adorable...  OK my back really hurting, I'm going to bed.

 

     

High School Past and Present

 

We got the gang back together (this was in 2008)!  Paula is in front on left...  I'm in the back, big dorky smile.  

 

The great thing about my job is I get to work with a lot of different people and a lot of the time I get to work with friends.  For this session I got to take photos for a friend from high school!  Her son is graduating from high school.  I was really excited about taking his photos for him and for his mom.

Paula (my friend) and I grew up together in the same small town.  I actually don't ever remember a time I didn't know her, she's always been a friend.  We lost contact for several years but thanks to a few emails (before facebook) a group of high school girl friends and myself got back in touch with each other.  It was great to see everyone so many years later and be able to have the comfort we had with each other back in elementary school.  Then along with facebook we have maintained contact for the past several years and I've got to see so many great things going on in all of their lives.  

So when Paula contacted me about taking photos for her son I was really excited!  I knew how hard she had worked to raise him and be a good Mommy.  I really wanted them to be something she loved and something he liked as well...

So after having to schedule and reschedule a few times we finally got to do Reece's session.  Now with Reece's being a guy I had a feeling he was not going to be nearly as excited as his Mom and I were.  But he was a great sport and seemed to have fun being photographed.   Photographing guys is a little bit harder to do, there's just not as many posing options...  I knew I wanted to try some different stuff with his photos.  I love the way the photo with him in the hood turned out.  I'm really happy with them and can't wait to give them all to him and his Momma.
