Welcome to my blog in progress!



Who am I?

I am a mother with a passion for photography. I love everything about taking pictures. Whether it's seeing smiling faces, capturing that special moment in time or even uploading the pictures on to my computer I just love everything about it. It makes me happy. :o) (and I have 4 boys so there are lots of moments to capture around here!)

I am an optimist. I can't help it, it's just who I am. No matter what is happening in my life, I know that something good will come out of it somehow. It always does! The universe has a magical way of working things out.

and here is my take.....
I cropped it, warmed it, added some texture, softened her skin and sharpened her lips because they are gorgeous, I also sharpened his eyes, added some contrast....and some more stuff. lol!  I got carried away! ha!

I Heart Pets!

This week is all about our furry friends. We have three furry friends in our house. Sophie our boxer, Tuffy our three legged kitty and Miss Kitty our sassy kitty. I can't imagine our house without animals in it. They are so loyal and just plain make you smile with their antics.  Although Sophie may look like a dog she is most definitely not a dog!  We call her part human and part cat.  We are pretty sure she thinks she is a cat but she is also such a part of our family.  We have 4 boys so I figured we just needed a dog.  I am not a huge dog person myself (okay, I am scared to death of most dogs. lol!) but it just seemed right.  Sophie came along and has just completely won me over.  She sleeps as much as the cats, she looooves to sneak the cat's food. She even loves to lay in the window sill in the sun like a cat!  Whenever I talk to her about her favorite things she tilts her head waaay over like in this photo and makes me chuckle every time.  She sleeps with me every night.  She's my girl. :)
