The picture I see is the picture I will be. Bob Proctor
As a photographer, thinking in terms of pictures seems natural. Bob Proctor ask, ” how do you see yourself on a daily basis?” As a successful, happy person, who brings light into other peoples lives, happily anticipating of challenges; or a sad, discouraged, grumpy person. There is great power in the way you visualize yourself and your approach to life. What kind of picture is there on the wall representing you?

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. C. S. Lewis
I love doing portraits for friends, it gives us time to spend together to chat, and catch up on all the news, then a couple of days after they have gone home I get to send them a momento of the day! Michele looked lovely on Saturday. We drank a little bubbly, nibbled a little chocolate, it was a great visit. Thanks Michele, more of your photos will be ready soon!

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. John Burroughs
Ann was one of the models helping us out at the photography workshop, here she sits patiently making notes while we are busy around her studying the light, and the back ground. Pretending that we, the photographers, are not buzzing around her trying to make sure everything is just right. I am with John Burroughs, the days are too short to do all that I want to do, see all I want to see, and read all that is interesting!

Ten tiny little fingers that always want to play, That never stop exploring the wonder of today. Ten tiny little fingers that from the very start, Will reach out for tomorrow yet always hold your heart. ~ Unknown
It is no surprise that I am a sucker for babies – love to cuddle and coo, it is always special when I get time and the opportunity to photograph them. I had said I would wait to post pictures until I was done processing the images, but I just couldn’t wait, so here is a sneak peak at Baby Zak.

“Photography is not like painting. There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.” -Henri Cartier Bresson
Keri and the Hat

Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.
– Dr. Seuss
Keri helped us out on Sunday with our portrait workshop, one of the other photographers brought a couple of hats! It was a little big but it was a great prop! Of course the hat is enough to trigger thoughts of Dr. Suess, his books are not only full of great entertainment they are full of life lessons for kids of all ages. Best of all, they are fun to read out loud!
