I am thankful for the advice provided by a friend and fellow photographer after my last blog post! I have to realize that I am just a baby in this "business" and I need to learn to crawl before I can run. Which is a difficult task for me since I am always a "go-getter". I like to always find the quickest and easiest way to do something and get it done. Last week at church we learned about this exact topic regarding becoming a Christian and the "steps" that need to be taken, i.e. become a follower of Christ, get baptized, etc. Well thank you God for placing that sermon in my life and for also placing dear Ashley (http://thehousewiferookie.blogspot.com/) in my life as well! She gave me a piece of advice that might not have meant much to her when she said it but it really stuck. Begin by photographing things that you love. That small piece of information has really turned things around for me and my outlook on this situation. So today we had a family get together at my in-laws. I asked my sister in law to bring my niece ready for photos, I wanted to practice photography on something I love. Here are some of the results of that shoot today.
She has so many facial expressions, she has so much personality and character at just 8 months old. I love her sweet face. She and her big brother are so photogenic. I always loved to take photos of Gabriel! He was always smiling and ready for a photo! Chloe is precious, with those chubby cheeks and big brown eyes.
But, she is only 8 months old and sitting on the grass (when you can't eat the leaves) 
gets boring and old quick! So she let me know she was not having any more photos!
But even when she is angry, she is precious! Thank you again Ashley for the advice! I can't wait to photograph more things I love and share them with the world!
