New Look!

Well, what do you think? I’m guessing you obviously just noticed a big change when you clicked onto my photography blog right now. The colors, theme, header….everything is different! My mom lovingly (and patiently) re-designed my photography blog today after I had come to her with my new idea. She did a FABULOUS job and I love it! It’s fresh, fun, and a whole lot more ME. {thank  you mom!}

On a slightly different note…

I’m going to start posting a lot more selfies – especially now that it is summer. I think it is really important for any photographer to step out from behind the camera and get in front of it – to gain a better understanding of what their subjects feel during a shoot. I’m also really big (as is my mom) on self-esteem and learning to love yourself the way God made you. Self-portraits are a way to capture your personality and give you confidence in the fact that you are BEAUTIFUL – not matter what others say. At the bottom of the blog there is a button with me holding a sign that says “I Am Beautiful”. If you are interested – join our flickr group and add a picture of yourself with an I AM BEAUTIFUL sign!

There are going to be a lot of fun posts heading your way this summer…so sit back, grab a snack, invite some friends, and laugh along with me as I travel down the road of photography.

Good to WOW–Family

 

These shots were taken at our annual family Passover dinner. My battery started to die as the night went on (a total duh factor on my part)…but I was able to capture some fun photos.

    

I’ve already posted these shots on the blog – but they fit this week’s challenge! All are SOOC!

Say Cheese

 

Yesterday it turned a whapping 80 degrees here!! It was so great to go outside with no jacket, no shoes, and be totally comfortable. I’m such a sucker for warmth.

This little guy was enjoying the weather as well – and was up for being photographed. Gotta love that grin.

I love doing selfies – especially when it is SO nice outside and you really don’t care what you look like.

Linking up with Ashley for today’s edit of our self-portrait SOOC’s.

Linking up today with my mom for this week’s SOOC shot of ourselves! =) I recently posted a picture of myself here…but if you are a follower for my photography blog, you know that I often display self portraits on here.
