Project 52:19 | Blessed
Everyday I look at them and feel so thankful.
I am in awe of them.
They have filled my life with so much joy.
I am honored and so blessed to be
their mama.
Project52:18 | Quarantine
Poor babes caught a bad virus
Nothing to make it go away but time
Stuck inside but spirits are still high
Oh, the resiliency of children
It has been a rough few days for my sweet little ones. We believe Sawyer got a virus from the church nursery and then gave it to her brother. She had a mild case, Eli did not. Poor boy. If my body looked like his does I would be in bed crying. Not my little man. He is up playing and laughing. Occasionally he is reminded of his pain and comes to me and says, “hold you mama.” I snuggle him in my arms for a bit and then he is off again being a 21 month old little boy. We are keeping him quarantined because this bug is very contagious. But we are enjoying the quality family time for sure. Just ready to see both my babes healthy again.
Project 52:17 | Transition
We are in the middle of it.
So much to be done. So many boxes to check.
Moving across the world is not an easy task.
But we are trying to take it one day at a time.
Our house is finally on the market. It was stressful trying to get it market ready. And now the real fun begins as we wait for it to sell. We are daily putting our trust in God with this. If we don’t I think we would go crazy!
We would appreciate your thoughts and prayers during this season of transition. It has not been easy, but we know it’s just a season.
AND I am behind on my Project 52. I will catch up. Someday!
Kelsey is a senior at Jim Ned High School. She is the second Jim Ned senior that I have had the honor of photographing this year. She is beyond beautiful and sweet as can be. We had a blast during her session and actually got the entire family involved. A big shout out to her dad, mom, and sister who held my reflector and made these images possible. You guys rock at finding the light with the reflector. (Shhhh! Don’t tell, but my reflector is actually a piece of installation board from Lowes. Works wonderfully in the Texas wind.)
Kelsey I wish you all the best in the future. Have a blast in college! I know you are going to be an excellent teacher one day!
I am a big believer in professional development. As a photographer I want to always be getting better and perfecting my craft. This is why I spend both my time and money to attend such workshops as the IN-CAMERA (http://workshops NULL.zachandjody NULL.com/) workshop by Zach and Jody Gray (http://www NULL.zachandjody NULL.com/blog/). And let me just say, MONEY WELL SPENT!
Zach and Jody are AMAZING wedding photographers based out of Nashville, TN. They are good at what they do and have a passion for teaching others how to do it too. They seriously are an open book which is a rarity in the photography world. I was blessed to be able to attend both their IN-CAMERA and IN-CAMERA Light workshops and I must say it has changed the way I shoot. It’s all about getting great images straight out of the camera so you spend less time editing and more time with your loved ones. That appeals to me and this season of life I am in for sure!
I learned so much in just a few short hours of listening to Zach and Jody speak. I’ve been shooting for over five years now and even so they were blowing my mind with the simple tips and tricks they were sharing. I am beyond pumped to start implementing all I learned during my upcoming photo shoots. I am truly grateful for Zach and Jody and their willingness to share information and to teach others.
I am pumped to share with you some of the images from day one of IN-CAMERA. This workshop is all about natural light and getting awesome shots in camera. I honestly feel like I was able to do that because of what Zach and Jody taught me.
Remember to check back here soon for my review on the IN-CAMERA Light workshop.
First a little background action goodness.
