Well OK, let's get on with it then!
Ta-da! I'm a professional! I've been taking photographs for as long as I can remember. Well....actually I CAN remember the EXACT moment when I got 'hooked'. I was in the 6th grade and at the end of my parents drive way in Nashua, New Hampshire, - it was the spring time and there was a monarch butterfly just chillin' on the bush. I ran inside grabbed my parents 35 mm Canon camera and snapped away. Little did I know there was black and white film loaded in the camera. (remember film?!?! LOL!). Any way - fast forward a couple of weeks and when I got the prints back - that was IT! I was IN LOVE! From that moment on, I was a self-proclaimed "Kodak - moment junkie".
I'm pretty sure it would be easier if I could somehow find a way to surgically implant the camera into my body, cuz its pretty much attached to me all the time anyway! I recently took a photoshop and a student next to be brought her camera to class in this big fancy bag. I thought to myself -hmmm, that looks nice, but would be completely useless at my place. I NEVER put my camera away - because with two cute kids and two crazy Goldendoodles running around, the photo possibilities are endless! And anyone who knows me, knows - I pretty much have the philosophy of "if I don't have a picture of it - it didn't happen." So the thought of putting my camera in a bag, pretty much never crosses my mind, of course unless I'm traveling then I become envious of my classmates bag!
Speaking of traveling, I recently went to Tampa to visit my cousin Gemma and meet the newest addition to her family. I luuuuv Jake! He is the cutest 6 month old you could ever meet (except for my kids of course! :-) Well, poor Jake had NO idea what was in store for him once cousin Nicki showed up with her camera - and yes, I traveled with in IN A BAG! Below are just a few shots of Mr. Jake and his big sis Reagan.
I also had the pleasure of finally meeting "THE STACEY". Stacey and Gemma have been friends since high school and for one reason or another we have never had the chance to meet. We fixed that during this trip! Stacey, her mom Lyn and daughter Maddie met us in Downtown Tampa and we had ourselves a fun and funky photo session! Check 'em out!
