Graduates!

Well, I graduated my first class last night. I have been teaching a photography class for about the last 5 weeks and their final exam was last night. I have to admit, I was scared to death to take this on and teach others. But, as many of you know, when you teach....you are the one who learns the most. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did. It really gave me a chance to put all of my knowledge of photography to the test. It wasn't perfect by any means and some nights I know they left confused, as I did, but we made it through it! I have to admit, I am way way prouder of the photos that they ended up taking than I have ever been of my own. I am so happy that I was able to share a little bit of what I know in order to help them photograph their children and families! So, they all took their final exam last night and ACED IT! A+++++ everybody. They not only aced their exam, they gave me an incredible gift...a chance to be on the other side of the camera! I will forever be endebted to these girls! Way to go Amy, Carroll Lane, Leah, and Emily Anne! You are awesome photographers!!!

And yes, I will be offering another class, probably this fall...I am still getting my thoughts together on that!

Sensational Summer, Come On Fabulous Fall!

It has been a sensational summer. Might I also add ,sizzling..wow it is a hot July this year! My clients have been beautiful and have blessed me beyond measure. I have enjoyed photographing every single one of you. I have been so behind, so here is a whopper of a post to catch me up! I am done with summer shooting guys, it is too hot! Unless we have verbally spoken prior to this week, I will begin booking fall shoots October 1st. Bring on a fabulous fall! I cannot wait to get shooting in some cooler temps. I am taking some creative time until then. I am spending a week in San Francisco with this awesome photographer and one of my dearest friends, Kara Cain. If you are in the Tampa area and need a photographer, look her up! We are working closely with an awesome photogher in Cali and I hope to come home with all kinds of new skilz....until then, see you at the pool with my wild man who learned to swim this summer! It has been one awesome summer, praise God! May I be able to continue to display HIS greatest work of art, families....
