6/52 - The Land of Elvis and Bar-b-que!

Chloe introducing the Nealy's joint!

Inside what used to be the raquet ball court at Graceland - it now houses many gold records!

Les and the king

The ducks making their way to the indoor fountain at the Peabody!

Laney on Beale Street!

Week 6 comes to you from Memphis, TN!

Great city!

We stayed at the Peabody, hence the duck pictures! What a funny tradition!

It was a whirlwind trip complete with all the must sees in that bluesy little town...Graceland, Beale Street, Interstate Bar-B-Que, a carriage ride around the city and some shopping!

Enjoy!

Week 5/52 A teeny, tiny model!

It's been a while since I've taken the girls to the zoo.

The Indy Zoo did not disappoint!

While seeing amazing animals, the dolphin and elephant shows and the new cheetah exhibit....it was no animal that got us laughing.

While standing under a tiny umbrella looking at the zebras there was a small boy to our left. I would say he was around 6 years old.

He looked right at the zebras and yelled, yes yelled,

"Bar-b-que sauce, who likes bar-b-que sauce?"

To which his dad replied,

"Come on, let's go"

I wanted to yell,

"I do!" but held my tongue.

I gave the models a break and took some cool shots of the butterflies in White River Garden.

Here is my favorite!

4/52 - Fun on the Tracks!

I got a little behind with posting so to catch up...here is the post for week four!

I took the girls to scope out a new photo spot and we came upon these railroad tracks!

Thanks to my sweet models!

3/52 - The Joys of Summer

So....

Impromptu sleepovers, pool parties, kids giggling, splashing from tiny little hands and feet, popsicles on a hot day, perhaps a cocktail or two for mom and dad, seeing your favorite movie at the midnight showing....

could summer be any better?

Week three comes to you in series form.

I think you may see quite a few series. I'm having a hard time choosing!

Week 2/52 - Rain or Shine, bring on the beach!

So, never let it be said a little rain could deter my family from a day at the beach!

Is there anything better than an afternoon with your cousins?

Looking for shells, digging in the sand, jumping the waves and generally acting like goof balls...

we lived it up!

Bonus for week 1

I'm sure I will struggle with posting a picture each week a few months from now...but I am excited since this blog is new. Here is a bonus to week one!

We had a family reunion tonight and fresh targets for my lens!

Couldn't you just eat these two little monsters up?

They are just at the age where they were intrigued (or maybe it was scared by their stern faces) by the camera pointing at them!

The first photo, "mr. h" has some serious baby blues....watch out ladies!

Enjoy some sweet baby faces!

Happy summer!

Let the adventure begin! Week 1/52

Okay, so I have never done this before but here goes! Welcome to the first post of my blog! I have been interested in photography for many years and am unofficially the family photog. I have been taking classes and am ready to begin a new adventure!

Eventually, I would like to have my own photography business. For now, I will continue to learn and build my portfolio.

I am starting this blog to get my feet wet and get some practice.

This little guy is my nephew, we'll call him "Easy E".

He is my one model who never complains!

I will post at least one picture a week for the next 52 weeks.

Let's see if I improve over the year!

Cross your fingers!
