Volounteering at my Local Animal Shelter

2009-04-01T06:03:00.000-07:00

I had the opportunity as a Volounteer at the local animal shelter yesterday afternoon. I am so happy to use my time and talent to capture these precious homeless animals. Perhaps if good quality pictures can be posted on the shelter's petfinder website these beautiful kitties will have a better chance at finding thier forever family. The people at the shelter are so kind and accomodating to me. I was able to capture some really nice images of the available cats for adoption. I will go back next week to take photo's of the available dogs. It feels really good to know you can help! If you are photographer and you're reading this, please consider donating your talent to a local shelter to help get these guys a home. If you are just reading my blog, consider adopting a homeless animal into your family...they truly will love you for it!

Below is a video I put together as well as a few of the shots.

Happy New Year! - Some Pics from my trip to Indiana! Long Island NY Portrait Photographer

2009-01-09T06:35:00.000-08:00

Wow, I can't believe its 2009!! The last year passed so quickly! I spent New Years week in Indiana visiting my family! It was so great to see my mom, sister, nieces, and my aunt again. I wish life allowed for more visits like that one. I took the free time to get out my camera and just take random shots of "whatever"...it was fun and really re-inspired my creativity. I think we all need to do it once in a while, take a step back and do what made us begin our photography journey in the first place, without any pressure. John bought me a few new lenses for Christmas and I could'nt wait to try out the 15mm Fisheye. He also got me a 100mm Macro, but I'm thinking I won't get a whole lot of use out of that one until flowers start blooming and the bugs come out in the spring, and then I'll be a shootin fool with it, I think! :)

I went down to a park called "Deep River Park" in Hobart Indiana and they have an old mill, gazebo, and a sugar shack with a River running through the property. It's just generally a very pretty park, add in a dusting of snow and it was even more beautiful.

I took some of the scenic's with the fisheye, I could NOT get over how WIDE this lens is, you can almost see your FEET it so wide! I also got to capture my nieces, Brandy and Julie, they are such beautiful girls and I wish I had more time with them. I took Brandy, age 12 out for a full session and she and I had some bonding time, that was a fun afternoon!

Here are some of the shots from my trip:

9 Years Ago Today--I Became a Mom--

2008-11-04T05:11:00.000-08:00

It's been 9 years today that John and I became the parents of 2 little girls from Russia. I don't know where the time has gone, but it seems almost impossible that it's been that long. The girls have grown into beautiful young ladies who we are so proud of. They have become so much a part of our lives that we don't even think of them as "Adopted"--they are just OURS. We Thank God every day for bringing these 2 special girls into our lives and into our family.
9 years later I still have the story and website up and I still get comments from people who come across it from time to time! http://www.geocities.com/iluvdisnee/journey.html

Happy Adoption Day Amanda & Em--we love you!

Carpenter Bees --- Ugh!

2008-05-06T13:10:00.001-07:00

We have been invaded by Carpenter Bees!

The girls playset outside has about 30-50 Carpenter Bees Swarming all around it. Apparently they Burrow through the wood of the playset like a drill bit and make thier homes in the wood.

These things are HUGE!! The exterminator came and said that he can dust the holes where they've made their nests (many many holes!) with his chemicals but it doesnt necessarily mean that they will go away, they can make new holes! So....what to do what to do? Should we go ahead and treat the playset and hope they go away or get rid of the playset! We really dont want to get rid of the playset but if the chance is strong they will just make new holes then the problem still exists! WWYD???

Bud Rock is Very Intelligent!!

2008-05-05T07:51:00.000-07:00

Amanda was being silly with Buddy while I was setting up the studio lights from a recent session and I snapped these! Too Cute!
