The Zoo

Here are a few pictures from a field trip our class took to the zoo. I loved this little hummingbird. I couldn't get enough of him. I love animals and how different they are from us. Enjoy!

Victoria

Well, I haven't blogged in a while, I'm going to try to do better. These were taken right before I graduated. This is my fellow photographer friend Victoria Bentley. I really enjoyed this shoot and feel I got some great shots. Here are two from the shoot. I may put up more later. This was the first time that I used off camera flash on my own. I have used it many other times assisting photographers but never did it myself. I think they photographs turned out good and I definitely love the off camera flash. Now all I need are Pocket Wizards...

AHHH....

On my vacation, I spent some time at my husband's grandparent's house on the lake. Around their house were many different kinds of flowers, but for some reason I couldn't get away from this beauty. The classic rose. I think the processing makes this picture pop, does anyone have an opinion?

Raylee Jade

This sweet little baby girl photographed beautifully. This is Miss Raylee Jade Hargus. She was born May 31, 2009. She weighed 6 lbs. 10 oz. and 15.5 in. long. She is such a beautiful baby. These photographs were taken when she was 5 weeks old.

Georgetown University

On our family vacation to Washington DC over July 4th my husband and I took a short 6 mile walk to Georgetown University... I guess it was worth the hike because I got this shot when we got there.

A bugs life!

Here are some little creatures I found in my backyard that seemed to like my company. The ants were so hard to get because they move so fast, but the yellow jacket just sat on a leaf for me.

Where's the gold?

So this past Friday I was sitting inside on the computer and my dad comes in the door telling me that I have got to get outside with my camera. So I jumped up and grabbed my camera. When I got outside this is what I saw. It is hard to capture such beauty through the lens of a camera, but I tried. Enjoy.

Its almost the end!

Well, I haven't blogged in a few weeks but here I am. School is just starting back this week and I feel like it is almost over. Just two more months until I graduate from CVCC and start my new venture in photography. I have a few brides lined up for bridal portraits soon and a few newborn sessions coming up. I will be moving to Raleigh in August so I am trying to fit a lot into my last 2 months of living here in Hickory, but also trying to enjoy a my fleeting time here as well. So far this summer has been very eventful and relaxing. The relaxing part will soon end, probably next week! I'm very excited about this semester and the new adventure ahead of me.

Collage of Baby Kenna!

Baby Kenna!

Baby Kenna was such a good little model. She came in just for our class to photograph. She was a little fussy and we couldn't get her to sleep for anything. But she was a pleasant little newborn to photograph. I hadn't ever photographed a baby like this so it was a new experience for me. She finally went to sleep at the end of the shoot and we just took as many shots as we could get of her.
