I can occasionally find time to take pictures of Ellie, but there is not time for reviewing much less editing.
Oh well, maybe in time I can get back to this.
Until then just adding a few of my favorites from the past few months.

no time to spare
Well, so much for pursuing photography with an infant at home.
I can occasionally find time to take pictures of Ellie, but there is not time for reviewing much less editing.
Oh well, maybe in time I can get back to this.

Yesterdays Inspiration
Here are some pictures that I took yesterday. I have already found that it is hard to narrow them down. The wonderful thing about digital is you can take so many. The bad thing about digital is you take so many. The other hard part is trying to narrow them down when your 5 month old wants you to hold her instead of play on the computer. I narrowed it down to the ones I thought were the best and my favorites.
I'm trying to use photobucket to upload the images since I have so many. Hope it works.
None of these images have been edited. They are what they are. I will have to get into editing the individual photos later. For now I am just focusing on taking pictures, playing with angles and light.

Epiphany
Today was the day.
Over the past few months I have felt lost. I have been struggling with where I should go, what I should do. I love staying home with Ellie, my 5 month old, but I felt like something was missing. I just didn't know what it was. Maybe I just missed teaching, maybe I missed the kids, or was it the adult conversations that I craved? What was this total lack of purpose that I was feeling?
Today was the day that I had an epiphany.
I was taking pictures of Ellie and I realized how much I loved it. I loved playing with the angles, the light, black and white vs. color, etc. I was having such a good time that I lost all track of time. And then it hit me, Eurekah, this is what I want to be doing! This is what I love to do. This is what I will do.
So I made the decision and then thought what now. I thought about a friend from high school that I had recently gotten in touch with and how I loved looking at her photos. So I went to her blog and there she was thanking all those who had helped her and advised her and inspired her. And there it was again, my epiphany. I can get advice, I can ask for help, I can be inspired. So I sent her a message and off we go...
Now it is 1:45 in the morning and I can't sleep. My mind is racing with ideas and utter excitement. Where to start, what books should I read or reread, should I enroll in a class, what should it be called, where can I take pictures, what lens should I buy next...the race is on. So I had to get up and start this blog so I have a place to put all the ideas and thoughts to begin this process.
Thanks Abbey for being my first supporter and adviser!
Name ideas:
DiSH portraits ( I always wanted to have a bakery called DiSH, those are my initials)
back deck portraits
back yard portraits
peeps portraits
epiphany photography
Ok I feel much better having written it down. Hopefully I can sleep. Let the good times roll!!!
