It's been a while.

2010. Seriously can you believe that it is actually 2010! Weren't we all worried about Y2K like yesterday? Haha. Just kidding. But seriously people, my kids will ask what year I was born and when I say 1981 they will think "Wow! She was born in the 1900's." Anyway, my goal for the year is to live, love, and LEARN! I want to learn so much more about photography. Hopefully this year I will get the chance to do that. I also want to help others who want to learn so I will be giving photography tips in my post this year to those who might be interested. I don't consider myself to be a "professional" or anything but I don't feel like I am an amateur either. Just somewhere in between. : )

So here we go ----->

Tip #1 Take photos of what you are passionate about! When you do everything about taking the pictures is more enjoyable. Right now I am really passionate about my family and our new addition.

Years ago I took a photography class at UVSC and some of the assignments I did were totally lame because I was taking pictures of fruit baskets and other stupid stuff. Not that there aren't beautiful pictures out there of fruit. It's just not what I'm passionate about.

I love babies and children! I love their tiny features. I could take pictures of my kids all day long. (if only THEY would let me.)

Half Tees Photo Shoot

My friend Amanda has just started a tee-shirt company called Half-Tee's. I am so excited for her and for her product. These shirts are perfect for layering under dresses and so many other things. Just think about how hot it gets in the summer and how nice it's going to be to not have the extra bulk under your shirt or dress! Not to mention how everything rolls up my stomach right now from being pregnant. Okay so you can tell I'm already sold! Seriously though, the photo shoot was so much fun. The models were perfect and the weather.....well, lets just say the wind is never fun when it's cold. But here are some from the shoot. Check out her website at www.halftees.com












Here is a sample of what the shirts look like before layering.
