May 3rd Post....

I DID post today, I swear! It was a draft that I started a while ago and for some reason it posted it to the date that I started it and not today :S And I cannot, for the life of me, figure it out. So here it is! I didn't lose steam after my first day of the challenge!!

Month of May Challenge

I spend a lot of time looking at other photographers blogs - you might even say I'm addicted, it's rare for me to go a day without checking up on what other people out there are doing. I've known for a long time that I should put a lot more effort into my own blog instead of reading other peoples. Writing doesn't come easily for me (surprising considering talking comes very easily) and so I usually put off blog posts instead of pushing myself to find words to write.....which leads me to my own personal 'Month of May Challenge'. I will blog Monday - Friday for the entire month of May. My goal is to become more comfortable with putting myself out there as well as pushing myself to spend more time on my own photography instead of others. I am hoping that this will also help me to make more time to take photo's. I am frequently inspired by others and now it is time for me to actually do something about it.

Backyard Beauty

So I have been racking my brain lately of different types of posts that I could do on a regular basis without it getting too redundant or impossible to keep up. And so, drumroll......... Backyard Beauty! My goal for these is to push myself to take more pictures as well as find beauty in places I might not usually take notice of. Time will tell just what this turns into.

And for the first post of this, here are some pictures from my backyard, literally.

Maternity Photo Shoot

This was my first photo shoot using guitars as props and I am so happy with the way the photo's turned out! The personality of these two really shined through and I love that now they have unique, personal photo's of this amazing time in their lives. Plus, really isn't it every girls dream to have their love play the guitar and sing to them?
