Variety....the Spice of Life.

Well...... it is February 22nd and .....I just made it to the keyboard to update my blog.....I don't even know what kind of excuse you come up with for a 22 day late blog.......(I know my two blog followers are dreadfully disappointed)......o well, I will not let my lack of blogging accuse me like so many other things in my life ...thank you Visalia Crossroads for your recovery series....

I love to shoot pictures....this short month of February seems to highlight how much I enjoy shooting a variety of styles.....hence the cheesy "Variety" title.....

KIDS SHOTS.....after 10 years of lugging a camera around I haven't tired of trying to capture those special moment when a kid is interacting to the world around them. I love this free flowing style....grab my camera.....relax.....see what happens.....for me capturing children in action.... expressing their personal uniqueness is so much fun. You never know what you will see....and may even be a bit surprised at what you find later looking at the photos....

Thank you Wilkerson Family for a wonderfully FUN photo shoot!

BUSINESS....did a boring picture just pop in your head.....you would think.......and maybe to some.....I do probably have some wierd photo-shop disease....but I enjoyed the hours slaving pixel, by pixel to cut out the background on this photo! What a different experience than an outdoor shoot......but fun in its own right....

A power-house of Blain men!

FINE ART- Have I mentioned that I LOVE being back in California!!! Flowers have the strangest meaning now.........it's February.....shouldn't the ground be white?

The month of February would NOT be complete without a Happy Happy Birthday to Tye-gur! I'm so blessed to be a Mom.......against all odds...............who would have thought.............

Love you Tye Tye.....xoxo Mom.
