Great Photography Commercial

My little cousin who lives in New York and works for an advertising company sent me this email the other day.  I just had to share it!  It truly is so fitting.   You have to watch the video so awesome!!!

Hey Cousin!

This is the Commercial that my company did for Canon and I thought of you when I saw it. I will never forget you climbing on top of me one Thanksgiving to try and get a shot of my makeup. You're so weird!


Good luck with your open studio next week.

WOW! Thank you for 2012

THANK YOU!!!  THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!!


I really can't thank all of the wonderful people who have entered my life through photography!  This last year has been such a wonderful, exciting, growing year for me in my business.  When I decided to take my love of photography from my own personal interest to a business, I don't know if I could say I thought I would be where I am today!  A friend of mine had asked me last spring at a women's wellness weekend what made me start to love photography?  It took so many questions from her to get out of me where my passion came from.  After a lengthy conversation, she finally got it out of me.  I have no photographs of my life growing up.  I don't have a great memory of my childhood and youth, so it makes it hard for me to remember what I did or who I was.  I made a conscious decision when I had my daughter that I was going to photograph EVERYTHING in her life so that she could have all her memories in a photo.  As time went on, I just continued to love photography and realized I might be able to share my own personal passion with others for them to keep their memories for a lifetime.  So here I am today!  This year has just been FABULOUS!!!  I have done so many things and have grown leaps and bounds!   I thought about counting all the shoots that I did, but realized that would take me to long and I have a lot I should be working on.  I thought I would just give a quick overview of what I have done this year.  I put together a collection of photos that show a variety of the types of photos I did this year.  I did not put every family on this or every event I participated in, but feel this is a pretty good snapshot.  This year I was able to purchase a much nicer body for my camera and several lens.  These pieces of equipment were crucial for increasing my quality of work.  I was fortunate to take several photography classes from online services as well as spending a weekend in Chicago at a Photography Workshop from a fabulous Photographer. I changed my business name, I changed my logo, I changed my blog and website.  I shot my first weddings, I was asked to partake in several events for charities.  I took school team photographs, took high school play photographs on top of all my wonderful family shots, senior shots, newborn shots and of course all of my sibling shots.   I have spent so much time trying to perfect my post processing of my photos.  In looking through this collection of photos, I can see how I have grown in my quality of photography, what I like to do, what I am not that interested in doing and where I want to go!  When I decided to leave my corporate job 2 1/2 years ago, I wasn't sure if I made the best decision.  Today in 2013 with a thriving Photography Business and a new Photography Loft in Downtown Toledo, I can comfortably say I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION!!!!   I can't thank all the wonderful people in my life who have supported me, invited me into their homes and lives to share just a piece of them with me!  I hope to continue being a part of my clients lives for a very long time, through all the different exciting pieces of it!  I look forward to more challenges, to do different types of photography in my new loft and making 2013 an even better year!  Last but not least I NEVER could have done any of this with out my supporting husband.  He truly has been my biggest fan and I love him dearly for allowing me to be me!!!

Sisters!!

I had the privilege of photographing the younger sister in these photos back in the fall.  When her sister got wind of the photos she wanted a shoot too!  So much fun and they had so many ideas.  I love when clients come to the shoot with ideas of their own. It makes the shoot so interacting!  The lighting was also so nice in the shots.

Little ones!

Oh My Goodness did I have so much fun with this group!  Look how precious they are!  I really didn't have any idea how photography would really impact my life.  Loving taking pictures is something I have done for so long, but being able to be a part of families lives through my photography wasn't something I truly thought about.  Taking their photos gives me so much joy.  Knowing that I am capturing a piece of their life that will last for eternity is such a wonderful feeling!  Welcome to the world little man!!!
