Anyone who knows me is aware of the fact that I am obsessed with photography. I am shutter happy. I enjoy shooting people. (In a good way.) No matter what event I am at, from a family BBQ in the backyard, a youth trip, or harvesting vegetables from the garden, I have my camera in hand, and am shoving it in peoples faces. I desire to capture every detail; every thing,look, smile, every moment.... and then be able to save it. I long to capture that perfect picture during every shoot, and am not afraid to look stupid,(or ask the models to try something strange) while doing it. Recently, my family and I have a YARD sale, (I don’t understand why people call ‘yard’ sales, “Garage sales”- when there is obviously no garage involved). Anyway, when I had to resist the urge to take pictures during the sale, I realized how obsessed I am. I love to be able to look at something so ordinary, and turn it into something amazing. I love to see things in a different way, or force people to look at things from a different perspective. That is the power I have with my camera. (That is, when I remember to charge the battery.....) My most recent shoot was a maternity session, which was also my first maternity session I have ever done. I was so ready to do it. The first time we went out with her, we arrived at the location just as the rain started, and we quickly decided, it would not work. By the time we got to her house, it was pouring so bad, we could not see the sidewalk to walk up. The wind, then, started rocking the car, as hail began to pelt it. That was a total fail for my first attempt at the shoot. A couple days later, I was back out there again. This time, we finished the shoot just before the rain. Summer proved to us it had arrived, and it was windy, but with water bottles in hand, it turned into a great photo shoot.
Her baby is due in about 4 weeks. I can’t wait to hold the little guy! It always amazes me to look at a baby. They are little miracles. A human can make another human - from nothing!? That just blows my mind. God forms and makes each of them different and unique. How can this tiny life come from practically nowhere?! That’s just too cool to me. I have a nephew (almost 4), a niece (3 months), and another nephew coming soon... (I’m ‘betting’ on the week of July 15th). I love them to death! They change every day. My niece’s personality shows through more and more as the weeks go by. It’s unreal to me that out of billions of people, no two are exactly the same. My God is amazing. From dust He formed us, and gave us life. Not that we could then serve ourselves, but have fellowship with Him. We are His creation. He made us, and He loves us. Wow. Did you get that? ‘Cause it’s amazing. That alone is enough to blow my mind!
