First, let me say that I am pretty new to this photography game. I got my Rebel about two years ago when my daughter was born, and have just felt a natural desire and inspiration to capture everything from life's most simple moments to its most captivating ever since then. I have a lot to learn, but I have also come a long way in those two years. I struggle with feeling like I am not good enough to really go after this dream, but I love it, so I'm going to keep doing whatever I can to make myself better. This is a photo from my first newborn shoot, who also happens to be my new niece. I was super excited about the opportunity, but also pretty nervous. Our first go round did not go well at all...she cried almost the whole time, there was not good natural light, and the room was too small for me to really maneuver with my 1.4 prime lens. Thankfully, her mom was willing to come over to our house, which has tons of natural light, and I turned our living room into a mini fort/makeshift studio area for our little princess here. I had a GREAT time and really stepped outside of my comfort zone...we did everything from fairy wings, to vintage milk bottles, to this sweet little shot. It's amazing how something that looks so SIMPLE is really the farthest thing from it. A lot of prep went into getting this shot, but I love it. I'm thankful for the opportunity, and I two quotes come to mind for this week, as I struggle with making my way in this wonderful, but sometimes harsh business. The first is from Anne Geddes, "The hardest thing in photography is to create a simple image." The other is from Saul Bass, "I just want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares."

Thanks so much for taking a look at my image! I really appreciate all the feedback, likes, and comments. This image is part of the collection Simplicity with 357 images (inclusive 138 uncensored nsfw versions). All characters are 18+
Tonight's image was shot in the town of Greece, Monroe County in upstate New York, near Lake Ontario. We were visiting my daughter and her husband up there in May.
While visiting, we were in search of places to photograph and I had heard about an area called Braddock Bay WMA, which is quite unique in that its a WMA with a rural area. As we drove around the area, stopping for a variety of small wildlife and birds, I happened to notice that the air was quite still. On one of the lakes that comprise the area, the homes that lined the shore were reflected with perfection onto the water's surface.
I love this image (OK, it's actually Tom's image) because of the simplicity that for me it represents. The area was so laid back, quiet, and serene - a far cry from where I reside locally in south Florida - with its crowds, development, and hustle/bustle about it. The air was cool and crisp - without the heaviness of the humidity I reside in also. Yes, it was quite literally a contrast in terms from what I call home.... and I liked it!
I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend in store for them. I hoping for a bit of a laid back one myself. :-). Thanks for stopping by to view and for all of your comments.

My own approach to "decorating." I prefer open spaces to clutter. I do not hang pictures, I don't do knick-knacks, but find me a good nest and a couple of skulls, and I'm good to go.
What a cute pattern with lots of choices... I especially love the knickers! How cute they would be for Christmas for a little boy!

Needed some fresh air and milk for my coffee. Perfect excuse for a trip down the street in -10.
This is a tree branch, btw. Shot with much bodily engagement and snow falling down my backside in the local cemetery. Thankfully, cemetery completely deserted and oh so peaceful, almost magical, in this weather.
