I went on my very first family “photo shoot” on Saturday. With the permission of the family that I was photographing, I thought I would share some of those pictures with you today. I am very pleased, now if the family is as pleased as I am, then I will call it a success.
Between you and me? If I could do this for a living, which is now my absolute goal in life, I would be one happy and fulfilled person.
But I’m wondering what you think? Is this some crazy dream I have or is it something I should go for? I would typically not put myself out there, in front of all of you and tell you what crazy dream is tucked away deep inside my heart, but today I’m taking a leaping of faith and telling you that I want to start my own business taking NON STUDIO pictures of families.
Now I know i have a long way to go, but I think I’m ready to begin that journey. Should I do it? Should I take the plunge?
I took over 500 pictures, choosing out of that 500 sure is hard work.





Every time I take a picture, I feel good, I feel fulfilled and I feel James and Jake deep inside my heart, I almost feel like they are right beside me. With every single shot. And here was my proof that they are with me always:































I kept looking at a picture and then thinking “I’m going to comment that that one is my favorite.” and then I’d see the next one. Wow, truly great.

Gorgeous! You have talent for this. Definitely go for it!
Best of luck!

Ok, I am seriously impressed. I love ALL of them, but I think the one where the family is reflected in the pool is my favorite. They (and obv, you) are AMAZING.

Those pictures are stunning! I would absolutely hire you as a photographer.:) I can’t even tell you which photo I like the best because they are all so good.

Unreal. Those are amazing. I can only IMAGINE how thrilled they were with that shoot! You have “that eye”, that everyone wishes they had. You SO have it girl!
Your hair looks great, I love it and maybe I was a little jealous and have to play with the idea of doing the same..but I am afraid it would make me look too old although clearly, you disprove that theory. So, I am confused now, thanks.

So I’m going through my google reader tonight and I think to myself, “I haven’t heard from that laundry lady in forever!” And I was sad for a minute until I hopped on over and found this. Amazing! I guess my feed took an unapproved vacation, but it’s all better now, which makes me quite happy.
You definitely have great talent – that and those people are obviously madly in love with each other! Have you already said what kind of camera you use?
