Random Find

While cleaning out my office trying to become more organized I came across an artist statement I wrote for one of my portfolios for a photography class back in 2005 and I thought I would share it with you.



A photo will always allow you to go back and look over your past, as many look at photo albums, reminiscing back in time; you get reminded of being a child or that unforgettable graduation or wedding day. There is no way of stopping life in its tracks, summer will always fade to fall and we will all grow. But by taking photos it will preserve that special moment in time. As I now grow from a person who took nice snapshots to a photographer, I look at the world through the lens of my camera, preserving those precious moments in time so others can have a chance to go back.

From Portraits to Politicans

The other week I had the chance to be hired to photograph a private event supporting Governor Ted Strickland.

This Monday was the shoot date, it was a great exciting step for Picture Perfect Babies with hopes it will get our name known throughout the Miami Valley with our goal to be able to expand our services to other hospitals. This feature will first run Friday night at the 11pm news and will rerun over the weekend.

Discover Shelby County, Ohio : Picture Perfect Commerical Photography

For the second year in a row I had the opportunity to do about 90% of the photography for this book printed and published by the Shelby County Chamber of Commerce and designed by Creative Marketing Strategies in Sidney. As you can tell this years theme was the rail road and its impact on Sidney, Ohio. When I hear what my assignment was for the cover of shooting a train I was up for it, I found a great day already scouted out my train tracks I was going to be using and went set up and waited for that train to come! I really enjoy this project, it spans over 6 months and is just a great creative outlet from my everyday which helps keep my ideas and creative mind rolling.

Our Newest Addition!

I would like to take this time and welcome Rachel Echols to our team! Rachel has now joined in as a photographer for Picture Perfect Babies.
Here is a little bit about Rachel from the words of Rachel!

"I’ve been taking pictures for a long time, stealing my mom’s camera when I didn’t have my own. Being the oldest of eight children, I was constantly taking pictures of my five brothers and two sisters. I don’t believe you can ever have too many pictures!

Now, having a son of my own, that is definitely true. I have already taken more pictures of him than my mom has of me during my whole childhood! I simply love to be behind the camera capturing every little priceless moment.


I am married to my wonderful husband, a mother of my “mini” Cooper, a part time child care provider, Mary Kay consultant, and now an official photographer. I am very excited to work with the precious newborn babies at Wilson!"

Always Learning!

Yesterday afternoon/night I went to this Seminar which left me with many new ideas for designing albums and just tips and tricks in general.

I believe that those people who think they know it all is only setting them up for failure. So don't be that person, always look for whats next.

 

I am always trying to find new ways to inspire my work with it being looking through magazines, traveling, meeting with my Photog friends for lunch, seminars, workshops, online, reading... the list goes on and on...

This is the Seminar I attended yesterday.
