Speaking of pumps..... I'm am super pumped.

One of my photos made it onto Pioneer Woman's Photography Blog! There were over 7,000 submissions, so I feel good about being one of the twenty portraits chosen to be featured.

It is this photo that I took of sweet little Grace. You may remember her from here.



Some of you may not know The Pioneer Woman, but I think she is a hilarious blogger and known the world over so you are a little behind if you are hearing about her from me. (I think 4 people read my blog. So she's probably getting a lot of traffic coming from my site today. Her server will probably crash.)

Go check her out and bake me something amazing after visiting her cooking page.

Yesterday I got to take pictures of sweet Harper Jane. She and her mommy came into town this weekend to visit the many new babies who have arrived over the summer of '09. I was honored when Harper's mommy, Elaine, asked me to take pictures of her! I brought Lincoln along for the ride. (He was not nearly as cooperative as Harper!)



Isn't she the cutest little girl!? She made it nearly impossible to take a bad picture.

This guy was not nearly as cooperative, but I love his little face.

After Harper pooped out from all of the picture taking.....

My wonderful mentor, Kelly, and I snapped some ""nudey booty" shots of baby Lincoln.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.


Elaine, thank you for the opportunity to take some cute pictures of your baby girl.
Kelly, thank you for coming with us. I am much more confident when you are around!
Harper and Lincoln, Thanks for being super cute!

No not the TV show! ME!

My friend Kelly has recently taken me under her wing and let me tag along as an "assistant" to one of her photo shoots. It was so nice to just hang out and take some pictures of some cute people! The best part was, there was no stress on me having to capture a good shot. I was just there to practice. Although I think I got a couple pics that I feel pretty pleased with.

I felt timid at first, like I would be a hindrance to Kelly's work performance, but she was super encouraging and let me kind of do my thing. What that thing might be, I'm not sure yet, but I will let you know when I figure it out.



















I have tons more, some were good, some were very bad, but the best part is that I had a great time learning to do something I really enjoy. Kelly can I officially call you my mentor?
