Just because...

I took my kids out to the farm (my in-laws) this weekend to spend some time while their daddy went dove hunting.  Granny had been wanting some pictures of her with the kids and I decided we better get it done since we hadn't had much time lately.  We went down by the barn and looked for some cool places.  There were plenty.  They had even (to my surprise) pulled an old chevrolet truck out of the barn. WOW!  Made me giddy with excitement to think  what kind of great pictures I could get with that...if only I had a willling subject for an hour.  I didn't, so I made do with what I had.  Still thinking of who I can bribe to go out there and experiment with pictures using the truck, barn, etc. These are a few I got while out there.  The sun was still pretty high in the sky but I think I got some good ones. Hoping to get school settled down a little so I can get out more and explore, practice, and learn some new things with my photography! 

It's getting close

Well the beginning of school is creeping up on me so I have to get it in gear and get some things done around the house - you know, those things I have had on my 'to do list' since I got out of school in May but just haven't had the enery or motivation to do. Nothing like a deadline - August 16 - to get you in high gear because life as I know it will be over once school starts. My mind will be consumed with school stuff 24/7 and the other teeny bit of time will be spent loving on my kids and breaking up their arguments. :) Hope you have all had a great summer. Ours has been WAY busier than we expected and the last few weeks filled with sadness.

I am excited to share with you all that I have 2 scheduled photo shoots coming up this month and 2 others yet to have a definite date. So I am super-excited about that! Wish me luck! Hopefully with each click of my shutter my skills are getting better and I am acquiring more knowledge about photography in general.

We went to the farm last night. Enjoyed a peaceful country evening after the heat dissapated a little - about 8:00. Had to take a few pictures - bribed the kids. Wanted to practice silhouettes, some shadows, and some linear pictures. Got a few, but nothing to write home about. I am sharing a few with you today. Please leave me comments on what you think. Still looking for various designs of chairs (colors preferred), antique suitcases, metal/wooden tubs or small troughs for photography shoots. Finished my aqua colored chair. Can't wait to bribe Jaedyn to do a photo shoot for me to practice with it! :)
Have a great Thursday!
