    get to know me …

    I’ll just come right out with it, I need to do a better job at blogging & letting you get to know me. This idea is some what hard for me, not because I don’t want you all to get to know me because if you know me in real life you know I am overly outgoing, probably annoyingly friendly & overall very interested in people.

    My problem is I lack confidence in my ablility to portray myself through words. Writing is not something I think I do well, word choice isn’t really my strong suit.. well that is unless you ask my boyfriend who frequently pokes fun at the words I choose to describe things.. for instance today I told him my creativity was being stifiled…. now I like the word stifled and I find no reason to not use it in an audible term.. but Mr. BF as i’ll refer to him, laughs he says because while it would be fine to use such terms in writing, uttering them out loud is a whole different ball game..! WHATEVER

    ok that was a complete digression but I hope you get my point.. I’m not a writer, I’m a photographer, give me a 50mm 1.4 lens & my Nikon D700, hot diggity dog I’m ready to roll.. hand me a blank screen and tell me to fill it with word… whoaaaa now that isn’t what I signed up for.. BUT I realize that the only way you can get to know me is if I put myself out there.. so here I am.. I’m out here!

    I currently in Vegas attending a photography conference called Skips Summer School, my brain is on system overload with the copious (u like that word don’t you) amount of amazing information I am getting and I’m excited to come back and use this new knowledge.

    My goal is to blog with my words at least once a week. If you are a photographer and you have questions please feel free to ask I will give you the knowledge that I have. I love questions, ask away, you will never be able to annoy me with question because one of my good friends nicknamed me Britannica … I am the queen of questions & curiosity.. I guess its a good thing I’m not a cat!

    until the next time…

    Natalie and I had her session on a very HOT evening, but the heat didn’t bother Natalie she was ready to rock & roll!

    Natalie plays the Cello, & I was in LOVE with the fact that she brought it along with her and she let me drag it out to the middle of no where to shoot! Not only is she musically talented but she is an Irish Dancer too.. I know because she danced for me.. don’t be jealous!

    Natalie I hope you enjoy being back at Ballard this year & have a fantastic senior year!

    “You are supposed to make me laugh” Kathryn said as she laughed! This was the job of Kathryn’s best friend at our photo’s shoot.. but I don’t think Kathryn needed much help, she could pretty much laugh on cue which in turn cracked me up!

    I had fun listening to all of the crazy stories the girls told to ensure laughter, their cute inside jokes, and the excitement they shared about starting their senior year!

    Kathryn I hope you have a fantastic year… stay true to yourself and remember to always use that amazing smile! :)

    Generally you would think the most excited person during a senior session would be the senior you are shooting.. well miss Skaakira brought along her 11 year old sister who was sooooo excited for her sisters session, she told her how pretty she looked all evening and even gave some great modeling advise.. she informed me she watched America’s next top model! Being the good big sister Shaakira is she took the advise!

    Shaakira you are beautiful, enjoy even moment of your Senior year because trust me graduation comes way too fast! :)

    Rachel : High school Senior Portraits

    Miss Rachel informed me very quickly she was not a smiler for photo’s .. she preferred a more stoic look. Rachel is a Senior at Mt. Vernon High School in Mt. Vernon Indiana .. not to be confused with my alma mater Mt. Vernon High School in Fortville IN. This is just one of the similarities Rachel & I had in common!

    When I received Rachel’s inquiry I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, which they often do, blink, blink, … nope I read it right.. Rachel BEAN .. up until this point I have never met anyone else with the same last name as me that I was not related too.. so to me.. this was totally cool!

    During out session I managed to squeeze a few 1/2 smiles out of Rachel but she always composed herself very quickly after she realized she’d let loose for a second. We managed to survive the 90+ degree heat that was still lingering around at 7pm to have a great senior session!
