it’s the little things…

I'm a bit goofy and always ready to have a good time - I love making clients laugh...it just so happens it's usually at me and some random thing I am doing to get "the shot" - If it's nice outside, I guarantee I will be found sitting in a patch of sunlight soaking in the rays - I tend to miss speak right when I am trying to be sassy, ... so I just end up sounding silly - I love all the noises a new baby makes be it cute or gross - My socks never match and I am proud of it - I avoid cleaning the bathroom like it's the plague. It comes from growing up with two brothers and always being on bathroom duty - I found out the hard way that garlic does NOT compliment everything... and now my husband doesn't let me in the kitchen unsupervised - I still get giddy and jittery before every wedding I photograph - I once thought the biggest gift of being self employed was making my own hours, now I know it's the luxury it gives me to raise my son (born April 2011) without the need of daycare - I love riding my bike, but don't have the constitution to make myself work out regularly - I believe that following your dream is not the easiest path but is definitely the most rewarding one. My dreams since I was 18 was to find the man of my dreams (check), raise a family (check) and create images for a living (check) - oh... and if you want to make me laugh, tell me a poop joke. Works EVERY time.

He’s a ROCKSTAR!!!!

Well, he’s a pretty awesome musician at the very least. Back near the beginning of the year (I know, it’s rediculous how behind I am on blogging!) I photographed musician Caleb Ingraham for a cd he was putting together. Now Caleb is a pretty talented guy… and I am not saying that just because he’s my brother. It should be said that he must be pretty darn good if I am shouting to the world about how awesome he is… I mean, really, there were years of him sitting on me so that he could get access to the remote and have control over the tv! So, even though I am scarred in that wayI am still willing to talk about his skilzzzzz.

He goes the acoustic route so it’s just his voice and hands plugging away on the strings that keeps you nodding your head along with the beat. His style is something similar to Jack Johnson and Ray LaMontagne with his own Caleb flair. All the music on his cd is written by him, and good to boot!

You can tell I like his music as his songs is the opening song playing when you check out my website. I have a distinct love of that song as he wrote it for and sang it at my wedding. Most of my family is musically talented. They pretty much all have these amazing voices or amazing musical talents, but me I must have been adopted when it comes to that catagory as I make banshees cringe when I sing.

To prove my case, my hubby Pete had Chinese food for lunch today, and when he read his fortune cookie, he laughed and said he must have to make me sing to make it work. Confused I read the fortune and it said ” you will have an entertaining musical experience soon.”

I’d be offended… but he’s right

All I have to say is that at least I walked away with the mad photo taking skillz cuz I’d be lost creatively without them!

Anyhoooooo…. here is the amazing Caleb Ingraham in all his awesomeness
