I have decided to take the plunge and start my own blog!

I have to admit, I'm a bit concerned about being able to keep it up but I follow other photographer's blogs and LOVE to be able to see what they're up to and what shoots they've done recently.  This will be a place for everyone to see what I'm up to and see how my skills continue to improve over time.  All of my friends, family and friends of friends have been so kind in encouraging me and letting me know how much they enjoy my work.  


I am learning that Photography, especially Portraiture, is a tough business!  Everybody is their own worst critic and even if everyone else thinks they look amazing, they can find something wrong with themselves (I'm the same way!).  Aside from the struggles of wanting to please everyone and of course the business/numbers side of things, Photography has been a true blessing to me and hopefully the lives of those who I photograph.  I know God will work through my photography and help me give my models something that they, their families and friends will cherish for generations to come.


I have to give a special thanks to my husband, Alvin, for supporting me along the way... and not just supporting me... but actually encouraging me and even pushing me at times!  He has been SO great and I can't thank him enough :)
