Pandorf Children

I had an absolutely amazing time photographing all 6 Pandorf kids. They were all fun, energetic, and not camera shy! It was definitely a great day and I'm so glad I got to meet this awesome family. I hope you like your photos!

They insisted on taking goofy pictures before any group pictures, I liked this one the best.

Elsie

I've been missing in action I know. Student teaching really did take over my life and I just did not have time for photography, I still took pictures but didn't have time to edit or blog about it... it was a few bittersweet months giving up something I love doing and concentrating on something else I love! Teaching! Now that's I've graduated I've been getting asked to take pictures and I'm going to take every opportunity to continue learning about photography. Here are a few from today. This is Elsie, her mom is friends with one of my mom's friends..or something like that, anywho, she's adorable and we got along just fine. These are her 7 year old pictures for her Hawaiian themed birthday party this weekend. Hope you like!

I can't wait for baby Evelyn to get here! Just wanted to share one with you, I'm still working :-)

New Goals

I would like to thank everyone for all of your support during the past year. It was a great year of photography, I learned a lot, met new friends and feel privileged to have worked with other photographers. Early last year, it was my goal to learn and shoot as much as I could to try to grow and perhaps even find "my vision" I feel like I definitely grew as a photographer and also realized how quickly I became consumed by it. Because I did all my editing after my son went to sleep, there were many sleepless nights and a lot of procrastinating on homework, all for photography. This year I'm starting a new venture and have new goals. This year, I'm shooting for me, and only me. I will work on personal projects that reflect what I love. Because I'm student-teaching this year, my main focus will be my family, and also for that reason I'm focusing on shooting primarily with film. This will allow me to do what I love..take pictures..and not worry about instantly going through them and spending hours choosing the best and editing. I'm excited about this change and will often have pictures to share. I hope you'll "follow" my blog to stay updated on this new venture. Again thank you for your support and keep it real ya'll!
