Resolutions
As a photographer - you'd think I'd have my sh!t together and have actual albums, or prints made. I am great about taking photos alllll the time. My phone is full, I always have my camera out on the big holidays to get photos of Hunter, I am usually pretty good about getting our photos taken yearly to see how big Hunter is. But the thing I am NOT good at is printing, organizing and framing. That is one of my resolutions this year. (side note- I still have yet to get MY wedding album printed and we have been married 5 years ago.)
So I realized I haven't printed any of my iPhone photos since December 2014. OPPS. So I have uploaded and backed my phone up. (And thank God for the iCloud.) Onto uploading and decided what photos are important enough to print. Does anyone else have this problem? I realize that we now live in an era that everything is accessible easily via the internet. But there is something so amazing at looking at a photo on your wall. It instantly brings you back to that moment.
So today - I share some of those photos I am getting printed!
Here is Hunter riding his bike for the 1st time in our new neighborhood.
Lego is 11 years old now and I cherish each moment/season with him. He is my 1st baby and Hunter just adores him.
My sweet boy.
The hubby and I on our trip to Nashville. We had a blast on our 5 year anniversary trip.

Welcome to 2016
So I have failed to post any photos in 2015 of my work on the blog. I apologize. Life got in the way. I started to only post my previews on Facebook because I was in a hurry. Well it's the 3rd of January and I am ready to revive this ol' blog. So welcome to 2016! I hope to post some of my work this year and add some personal posts along the way.
Today, I start with a personal post. One of my fellow photographers mentioned in one of her posts to always take the time to at least take 1 photo at a session for you. I sometimes forget, but I have tried it. So here are some of my passings during my session, or the drive over.
My first love when I started taking photos was documentary work. I wanted to tell a story of a place I was at. Back in college I'd take long drives in the country to unknown places to myself in search of the perfect photograph. Sometimes I wished my eyes could just take the photograph. You can't always stop to take photograph and sometimes you lose your moment when the light is absolutely perfect. And then of course I kick myself for not stopping or finding a road to turn off. But, here are some of those moments where I did stop.
This was taken during a reception back in April. It was a barn wedding and the most perfect sunset. I got the couple out for a couple of images, but this was breath taking.
This is a client's backyard. I love the field off white little weed flowers. Spring is just lovely.
Another Spring/Summer photo of the Illinois midwest weeds/flowers. Now that I have a garden I appreciate any kind of flowers.
I had an engagement session in downtown Chicago in March. It was a prefect spring day to be out and about. I love the pastel coloring, the quietness of this photo even though I know behind me is the city that is loud, crowded and busy.
Here is another from Chicago. When I lived in Chicago I hardly spent time in the "tourist" attractions because it was busy and I of course was a city girl. I wished I had been a tourist in my own town. I am always looking for the abstract. It always attracts my eye.
