A BEAUTIFUL Day . . . . Spring has Sprung!

Good morning!! I'm halfway through a pot of Folger's Vanilla Biscotti coffee . . . and decided to run outside with my camera to capture the images of spring that are all around the house . . .

The hyacinths are teasing me in the front of the house, the pussy willow tree out back is adorned with soft tufts, the daffodils are in various stages of bloom and the lilac bush is budding . . .

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE spring . . . how can you not? It is like a silent, visual promise that things will be better . . . a do over of sorts . . .

Beautiful Kara's Senior Shoot . . .

Last Sunday, I took senior photos for my niece Kara. Isn't she stunning?!! I got a bit behind this week, but here are some of my favorites straight out of the camera with only cropping and a couple mocha (b&w) conversions . . .

Skateboarding Photos

On Saturday, I followed Bradley to the high school parking lot to photograph him and his friends skateboarding. Action shots are the hardest for me, so it was good practice . . .

Pretty cool 'eh?

Another Quote

I look at this one every day . . .

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

My FIRST Maternity Shoot!

My so very beautiful niece Melissa is due next month and allowed me to do a maternity shoot today . . . this girl just can't take a bad photograph!

It was hard to pick just a few favorites for this post!

Driving Around Taking Photos . . .

This afternoon, I grabbed some photos from the Hershey area. I was hoping to get some shots of high water, but the flood waters have receded already.

Family Get Together

Tonight, several family members got together to share dinner at our Aunt Ruth's new house . . . it was a great photo op.

Together we watched the incredible sunset from her sunporch out back. The windows and lighting in this house are fabulous!
