Yeah, what the title said. It has been way too long since my last post here. Most of you know that 2008 was a very stressful year for my family and I (My mother becoming ill and passing away in May and my 13 y/o daughter being diagnosed with an incurable cancer in Dec. Check out my daughter’s current health status HERE.).
Now that things have seemingly turned for the better, I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph this family. They are a repeat client. I actually photographed their wedding in 2007. It was very refreshing to not only get back out there and work again, but also to be able to work with a great family once again. I hope that this will not be the last time I see them. 
I’m hoping that I will be able to post here more often. In order for me to post more I have to have more photos to take (hint hint hint). lol Maybe I should have a contest for a freebie session with discounted portraits. Or maybe I could use some of you to simply model for my blog. Hmmmm… I’ll have to think of something fun.
Oh yeah, for those of you that were just cruising by and thought you’d stop, be sure to add me as a friend on your Facebook and Twitter accounts. If I decide to give away any freebies you’ll know about it on those two places first. Be sure to leave a note that you’ve added me as a friend. I just may be inclined to offer something special to those that add me. Hmmmm… 
You can also sign up for my occasional newsletter. Sign up form is to the right of this post. There are times I may offer portrait goodies only to those that are subscribers to the newsletter. Nothing like getting free stuff.
So, let’s get back on track and start with updating your portraits!

Afternoon of Photog Fun
October 8, 2008

Had the wonderful chance of meeting with a local photog, Yolanda Rowe, yesterday. Just sat at Starbucks and chit chatted. She took me to this really nice place next to the local college. I never knew it had a lake, an old pump house, ancient ruins and lots of other stuff that could be useful for a senior photo session or a couples photo session.
Yo allowed me to use her Pentax K10D. I’ve been eyeing the Pentax K20D for a while now. After using her’s, I think that will be the route that I take. The colors right out of the camera were so yummy! Did I mention to you that we were shooting in the rain!!! Yes, full blown rain. I had my little Canon camera wrapped up in plastic under my shirt praying to God that it wouldn’t get an ounce of droplet of rain on it. The Pentax is weather sealed so the little rain that we got into was nothing.
Yo went into the trees and scared all of the herrings out of the trees. I’m no wildlife photographer, but I totally thought it was really cool to shoot these birds. This photo is NOT the greatest, but I don’t think it’s the worst either.

We also came across some ancient ruins. Believe it or not, this is the only frame of this that I was able to get. As soon as Yo and I started talking about it and wanting to take photos of it, a HUGE thunder clapped right over our heads. Freaked us out! Needless to say, we quickly got the point that we were NOT to take photos of these ruins. So we ran back to the car as fast as we could. The ground was wet, there were mole holes there and I had on flip flops! It was a riot. I had no idea that Yo’s short legs could move so fast! Fortunately we made it back. I was so glad that I was able to get a really great feel for the camera. Fits my hands perfectly and wasn’t very heavy at all. So…yep…the Pentax K20D has been added to my Wish List at B&H Photo!
