A Whirlwind of a Month

 

There are times when life slows down to a snail’s pace and other times I feel as if I can’t catch my breath.  This month was one of those times.

I was supposed to have gone to Marie Selby Botanical Gardens with my photo group, but because I had such a late night  the Friday  before with the Garden Bros. Circus, I woke and decided not to push it.  We have a horrible flu epidemic going around and the first thing I don’t want to do is lower my immune system and come down with the flu because I’m stressed and making myself over tired.  I also had a large metal concert, RoxStock and I needed to be on my A-game while mentoring a young lady and wanted to give her my best self.

That Sunday found me doing a class on portraiture (always want to add some training to my time behind the camera) and then Sunday afternoon another event Clam Jam.  So  I cleaned house and just relaxed to some great Mozart instead of going to the gardens.

I had decided a few weeks ago to take the following Monday off because I was offered a behind the scenes tour at Calusa Nature Center with a fairly new photographer friend.  It was a wonderful way to end the long weekend.  The rest of February was pretty much a blur with concerts and side shoots throughout. I enjoy being busy and I see no let up in March, so keep a look out as I’m trying to also do more writing and sharing with my followers.

I hope you enjoy sharing my adventures as much as I enjoy sharing them.  Until next time, get out there and shoot something!

From Babies to Rock Stars

 

The wonderful thing about being a photographer is how life and work changes from week to week and sometimes from day to day. I can be in the park with a mom and baby, or a soon to be graduating senior as I was this past week and overnight it can change where I am in an arena photographing a rock star.

The question I ask myself most often is how did I get here? It’s not been easy and it’s taken a lot of Work, determination, and time. I enjoy the diversity of change and I enjoy meeting people and working with some incredible clients. I keep honing my skills and improving my art and of course marketing my work. I am passionate and so incredibly happy to be able to create so many wonderful memories for each of my clients.   I also love that I get to see those musicians that I enjoy listening to from behind the lens. I hope I never wake up from this dream.
