So I've always had a tendency to always think about the next day... or what I have to do next... It's pretty much a curse - honestly. I have trouble falling asleep at night because I'm constantly creating lists for my lists in my head. When I was younger, I had to keep a piece of paper by my bed, so that I could write out EVERYTHING I was thinking about.. and if I woke up in the...  View This Post >

hen did we get to this point of accepting the... "well you can just photoshop that out".... phrase!?!?! I am SO tired of hearing this at sessions and weddings... and I'm so tired of saying it myself.... You are beautiful... Your nose looks just fine..... Your waist does not need to be smaller..... Those flabby arms were perfect enough to hold your beautiful new...  View This Post >

or those of you who have been active blog readers -- you know that things have been a little slow on the "front line" over here at the blog and on facebook... Why is that... I've even gotten a few messages asking me if I'm shutting down my photography business... maybe because of the lack of blog posts or maybe because I "suddenly" decided to move out of my studio....

came around the corner and saw the car sitting in the middle of the road.... I was in a hurry -- but still found myself being patient.. I'm usually not when I'm driving... I don't speed, but I don't like it when people don't go the speed limit... And I don't like it when people don't use their blinkers... Or cut me off... I have road impatience....a few notches below...  View This Post >

She squeals in excitement and jumps up and down making all of the sounds on her toy go off. She reaches her tiny ten fingers up at me when I go to pick her up.. smiling with her entire heart.

few years ago I decided that I wanted a second shooter who was 'Sharon Elizabeth's' second shooter -- I didn't want to continue searching for available photographers.. I wanted to give my bride + grooms a 'name'... and I wanted them to know who to expect and know exactly who was going to be shooting their day!

At the end of 2012 - I finally found the perfect location for a Studio space... outside of the home.... and moved in at the beginning of 2013....
