My recreations

Thought I would share something I enjoy doing for fun. I love to take favorite photos of everyday stuff and turn them into pieces I treasure by transforming them into works of art. I will show you the original photo and then what I turned it into after some time of playing around with it. This is something I really enjoy doing. I hope you appreciate it as well.

The first photo is of my two great-nieces. Jennie and Nicole. They are two adorable lil girls who have the sweetest spirits. Its always fun watching what children will do when you point the camera at them. These two decided to engage in a hug. Just goes to show how perfectly loving they are.

The next photograph was taken at a friends Halloween party. This lil lady is soo precious. Her name is Bella. She was intrigued by a butterfly that was part of my costume and how could I deny her when she asked if she could have my butterfly. After I attached the butterfly to her finger, she began to dance it through the air with grace just as a real butterfly would do. I grabbed my camera and captured the photo. It blurred a bit and was frustrated because I knew it would be such a cute photo. Then I played around with it and created a photo that would soon adorn my walls. She is a beautiful child and I was happy that I could turn such a sweet moment her and I shared into something I can now cherish and remember each time I look at the photo.

This just goes to show how I can take a photo that appears to be something ok and turn it into something spectacular. I love doing this stuff..its so much fun! Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

CJ & Dad


From Cameron's(CJ) session we have two beautiful photographs to share. We got to capture him with dad.

This baby is a "HAM"...he does not know how to take a bad photograph. I just hope that he always stay this way.

tearful one

During my last photo session, I was photographing Lil Rickie. Lil Rick as we called him was cutting teeth unfortunately and most of the photos we shot was of him crying. We did manage to get some beautiful photos of him while happy for a few moments and even the tearful photos are adorable...I'm just sure he didn't appreciate me snapping away while he was in pain. I dont usually make a habit of photographing babies while they hurting but as I reminded dad, event the tearful photographs will pull at the heartstrings when Lil Rickie isnt so lil anymore.


After I pulled out the blocks he stopped crying and begin to play. He was just hurting and needed something to take his mind off his tooth.
I'm sure that tooth will be a great addition to a beautiful smile!
























I felt so bad for him but I knew dad worked nights and long hours so I worked with this little man until we got him happy.
Like I said soon after I pulled the blocks out he was distracted and ready to play

 
I was happy that we got such great photos. I'm sorry Lil Rick you felt so bad..we hope you are feeling better and come back soon with that beautiful sweet smile!

Kriss's Rolling Karma

Kriss and Elijah..aka Eli came over on Sunday afternoon for Kriss's photo shoot. We had no idea how much Eli wanted his photo taken until we got him started..hehe. Once I snapped a few of this lil pooch he was a supa star. He loved having his photo taken and Kriss's shoot turned into a family matter. She loves this lil guys so much and he was a perfect gentleman.
Kriss is such a wonderful and fun person to be around. She has a great outlook on life and is very sweet and loyal friend.

About Me

My photo
Louisville, Kentucky, United States
Married and mother of four beautiful children. My life is as busy as a circus. I am always on the go with my family but my photography is as much part of me as my family. Its may passion and joy. I love to put smiles on everyones faces and my photography is an outlet as well as a fix for my own happiness. I love my children and they were the ones who pulled the photographer out of me. As most young mothers we are constantly snapping a camera to capture those many first moments. But friends and family saw something in my photos that made them believe in my ability to create such works of beauty that led me here today. To God I give many thanks for my talents and my blessings. He is the one who enables me to do what I do and he will always be first in my life. I just pray that my camera will always capture joy not sadness and my works will always be appreciated and admired by those who reflect in my lens.
