Hey Santa....

Meet me under the Mistletoe....


Christmas came early for me

and I'm bursting with excitement.




Santa made the delivery yesterday....he was disguised in a UPS delivery outfit
and was driving a UPS truck.

Very tricky Mr. Clause.



and this is what he gave meI guess that means that I made it on The Nice List.




Did I tell you how excited I am?

I have a LOT of learning to do~~but that's part of the fun of photography.

Looking for that perfect shotat the perfect angle

in the perfect setting
in perfect light

~it's a never ending search~

and it's delightful each step of the way

{unless you are photographing children
and they keep sticking their tongues out or running away...
not so delightful}


Those were a few of my very first shots....

ahhh...the clarity~~~the crispness~~~

I'm in love.


and do you guys have to name EVERYTHING?!

well.....I do.

The house~Mt. Sterling

The van~~Nellie

My dress form~~Marie


so now I must name my new camera friend

I'm leaning toward

Nikolai.


Like it?


Have a great weekend friends

I'm off to torture my family with more photos.


~Hugs~
