how did i get here?

So here is my first official post to my blog. When I first heard of blogging a few years ago I never would have thought that I would have my own, mostly b/c the idea of them was ludicrous. Who the *&%^ has time to write one, much less read one? Those were my thoughts... of course this was while both children were in diapers and an uninterrupted night of sleep was unimagineable. Now that my life as a mom is a little easier (yes, laugh all you want- i know there is a lifetime of craziness to come) I am super excited to get my little photography business off and running, hence the reason for the blog.

Photography has been a love and passion of mine since my highschool days (20 years now... thank you Shirley Rosicke!) I even had a darkroom in my parents garage where my best friend, Brigid, and I would spend hours on end photographing one another, then developing the film and prints. It was bliss!! Now I spend so much of my time photographing my children everywhere we go. My camera is part of me. I look at it like photojournalism, hoping that those who see my photos will be able to understand the story and feel the emotion behind my images.
