Taking A Moment to Say Thanks

November 25, 2010

I try to remember to quietly acknowledge what I am thankful for every day. Some days are definitely harder than others, but if you look closely something, even if it's only something really small, went right.

Today is not one of those harder days. Today I feel ready to pour out an abundance of thanks. The second half of this year has marked another large step forward in developing my photographic work and I feel joy over the strides I've made so far.

These past months have not been a solitary journey. So foremost I'd like to thank my fellow photographers. I am constantly learning from all of you. In particular Sarah Barlow, Cassie Schott, Christina Moodie, Charity Deane, and Shannon Morse - thank you for sharing with me your stories, answering my questions, and being so incredibly kind. Faith Teasley - we've never met, but you kindness and notes here are very much appreciated as well.

I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had too - for everyone who has asked that I take their photo, for everyone who has let me visit them and photograph where they live, and for Sarah allowing me the opportunity to get my first wedding as a second shooter under my belt.

A few dear friends and family members have given me feedback and viewed hundreds upon hundreds of my photographs. Thank you as well. You're so patient. :)

And thanks for stopping by this blog. I hope you all enjoy your weekend.

Sarah Barlow & Friends

August 3, 2010

I'm just finishing up studying the photography world with the incredibly kind Sarah Barlow. It's been very busy but a lot of fun. I had some really great experiences and some much appreciated challenges. I also had the pleasure of meeting two other fellow photographers and photographing them!











Christina Moodie is a sweetheart and looks better laughing in photos than anyone I know.  (I know. I know. She's not doing that in either of the photos above, but you can see it in banner on her blog.) Check out her blog over here.







Charity Deane has a fantastic graphic design eye behind her images and finds beautiful colors. Like me, she's a fan of Steve McCurry's vivid photographs. You can see her work right here.


Christina, Charity, and I definitely have different styles but I learned a lot from them. It was great to give each other feedback and share design, Photoshop, and photography tips with the two of them and Sarah. I look forward to seeing where our paths take us!


During my time with these lovely photographers I also had some more opportunities for photo shoots. Stay tuned to see more of what it looks like when Kristin takes photos.
