I wanted to share with you my new adventure that is about to take off! As you know I am obsessed with taking photographs. It started out with me just wanting to capture every single moment of my muncherheads lives, but has now turned into a challenge of finding the perfect place to shoot, a different angle to shoot from or any other way I can have fun while capturing those precious moments. And, well...it has just grown from there. I've tried out some new lenses (which has been a lot fun, by the way)! Like this picture below for instance, I used my 50mm lens where I can focus on one thing and everything else is left blurry....probably my favorite lens to use! This image below is SOOC (straight out of camera - no editing)....
So, after many months (and months!) of thinking about going full swing into photography, I've finally decided to go with it! I can't wait to see where this venture takes me...and it helps that Husband is super supportive and behind me 110%!
I am in the process of setting up a photography blog and when we get back from Cancun I plan to get my photography website up and running (oh yea, did I forget to mention that we are going to Cancun?!....CAN. NOT. WAIT!!).
Just for fun, here are a handful (or two) of shoots I have done over the past year...I never had the chance to blog about a lot of them! I had the privilege of photographing sweet Will after he came home from his two week stay in the NICU!





Last May, we threw a shower for my cousin Kristin and I took pictures of sweet Bella to display on the tables at the shower....



And then there is Poppy & The Wild Hogs...I did post some of these!

And some everyday kind of pix...

So, these are just a few of the fun times I've had with that "thing" that pretty much stays around my neck all the time! In honor of Daydream Photography, I thought I would do a little giveaway! You guessed it - A FREE 45 MINUTE PHOTO SHOOT on location (plus a CD with the best 10 edited pictures)!!!
Here is how to enter (you can enter multiple times by doing the following):
*Become a follower of my photography blog (click the link and then scroll down to the bottom) and that will give you one entry. Leave me a comment on THIS post letting me know you did that.
*Become a follower of my personal blog (this one), then leave me a ANOTHER comment saying you did that. If you are already a follower leave me a comment letting me know that.
* Tweet this giveaway and then leave a comment letting me know you did!
*Blog about this giveaway, linking back to THIS POST and you will receive TWO more entries. Leave another comment saying you did that (with the link to your blog)!
So, that is FIVE different ways you can be put into the drawing for a FREE photo shoot which includes a CD with your pictures. I live in the Dallas area so you may want to keep that in mind. And I am willing to drive on location to any of the surrounding areas...I have some places in mind if you need help with that too!
I have not decided when the cut off time will be so get busy, PEOPLE! I can't wait to see who the lucky winner is! And once I get my photography blog (and then website) up and running, I will post prices and packages if you are interested in having your beautiful self/family photographed!! Be on the look out for some great deals!!!
My new baby (and a GIVEAWAY!!)

Hey sweetie...Just wondering how you and kiddos were doing today?! Hoping things are going good. BTW, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your photos, they are super cute! I too run my own photography business and LOVE it. I wouldn't trade my photog business for any other! It should be illegal to have THAT much fun while working. The best part is, if you get an "undesierable" clien, you're not stuck with them for long! haha...Anyway..BIG HUGS! hope you're days going well.
That is so awesome! I'm dying to learn how to really work a camera! Please add my name to the drawing (I am a follower of this blog and I am about to become a fan of your photography blog as well)!
