Sometimes I struggle to consider myself an artist. Not being trained to be an artist I question myself and how good I am doing in the world. Sure I have photos/artwork I like, from other photogs/artist as well as from myself but I have a hard time when someone says they love my work. I don’t see it.
My goal for 2010 is to find my creative energy and these two clay bots are going to be part of it. Look for more photos to come.
I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my birthday than by doing a newborn session. Babies, while the parents are exhausted, are full of hope and possibilities. I LOVE THEM.

Isn’t she ADORABLE!! Her mom decorated her room and it was beautiful I couldn’t resist making sure to capture one of the little things parents do to make children feel welcomed. The blanket was made by grandma.

I also can’t resist seeing newborns in their fathers arms or hands. To me there is something about the size of dad’s hands and the tenderness of a baby.

AND I have to say, normally I do not allow other photographers at my sessions but when Big Sister wanted to take photos I couldn’t say no. I should have though, she’s 2.5 yrs old and has good form and composition. YIKES!! I loved T.

Thank you once again T. Family for having me capture these moments in your life. Your family is beautiful! Have a wonderful and safe holiday!!

Thanks Deana, I can see it but not see it. Does that make sense. I feel like the girl who knows she’s not ugly but also wouldn’t describe herself as beautiful either. (AAaahhh, I am sure there are photog friends cringing at this post right now.)
