Capturing the Moments

I love digital creations, but I'm also falling in love with simple photography! I LOVE being able to capture the most precious moments in life..,. and I have to give credit to Carrie Butler for my inspiration!

With our new Lttl1 resting in my lap I have enjoyed searching through and reading others blogs. On FaceBook I'm a fan of Craft Magazine, who featured a tutorial from Giver's Log about a cute pattern for a Super Mario's hat, where I later found the Shoot-Along Tutorial by Carrie Butler. A few tips that helped me capture the perfect photo included: not positioning your child in the pose you want when you have the camera out, but rather waiting for the perfect moment.

After reading Carrie's tutorial and receiving inspiration I was able to capture the most amazing photo of my princess: This photo reminds me of myself when I was younger; very dramatic young girl captured in the butt of the moment, but still a princess, determined to make her own fairytale. This photo captured that moment, she really is my darling Cinderella; although, scrubbing fireplaces isn't a requirement in this house. :)

Joe & Sons Business Cards - Painter

For the Painter that works for Joe & Sons General Contracting, I have created these business cards:

Joe & Sons Business Cards

Here are the new business cards I've created for Joe & Sons General Contracting. The only consistent logo they have had is the skull and cross bones, so instead of making that the main focus of the attention... I incorporated an image that would effectively represent their business, while keeping the representation of their consistent logo. The family was very satisfied with the cards and are looking forward to more creations from me to represent the other departments within the business to include: flooring, painting, and electric work.
