Shot to the Heart 8

This week's Shot is a little late sorry! But it is still Monday so I haven't missed it yet! :) It's getting harder and harder to pick a photo that stands out enough, AND that hasn't been blogged before, but if I've taken a shot I love so much, chances are it's already been blogged, so this one you will have seen before, but I want to call special attention to it :)

I just love books. Especially old books. And old bookstores. I just think about the stories that can be found in an old book, and not just on the pages but the history behind the book itself. I love seeing the names of the people who've owned the book, or a letter in the front giving the book as a gift to someone. I have bought books from antique stores simply because I found an old letter or newspaper clipping in between the pages, or a beautiful poem handwritten inside.

This photo reminds me of those kinds of stories. Obviously this particular book has passed many hands, and I wish I knew the stories behind every pair. I am going to print this one :)

Little changes, and a photo of me :)

So a few changes are taking place in this little world of mine :) I am raising my prices a little (big faith leap for me), and I also won't be taking on weddings for a while (even bigger leap).

It's been a hard decision, but I really want to take some time, really REALLY focus on learning some things, and push myself to be better. I want to work on my camera ➝ people skills, posing, composing, I need to get better at lighting, quicker at my settings, and just generally more confident in what I am doing.

I'd love to photograph more families, children, pregnant bellies, engagements, etc. And I love nothing more than "just because" sessions. Just because you're in love. Just because you haven't had a photo taken in a while. Just because you have really fabulous shoes. :)

So, if you would like to book a session with me please send me an email! I look forward to meeting you!

And because no post is complete without a photo, and because some people have been asking... you know who you are... :) here is a photo of me that my friend Sarah took, and, for once, I actually like it! She's pretty talented! :)
