everyone in our family knows that may is a special month. uh huh, you better believe it.
not only does it host a particular day when we show our moms some extra lovin’, but it also contains the date, may 22, i.e. my momma’s birthday!
growing up, sometimes birthdays would get extended over the course of the entire month in our family.
probably because a day seems to fly by so quickly, you could hardly catch your breath to blow out your birthday candles.
so, with that being said, happy birthday mom! here’s to another year!

unpaved alleyways.

while all this readin’ and studyin’ of the photo biz is great, the best way to improve my photography is by getting out there and practicing.
practice. practice. practice.
well, yesterday i was hoping to have the hus-band be my guinea pig.
and after hours of begging and pleading, he finally gave in and allowed me to take his pictures. thanks, babe.
but before we went out on our photo-taking adventure, we made a stop by his sister’s house to drop off some stuff to add to their garage sale. see ya grody-ol’-hand-me-down couch!
time passed quickly and the sun was setting fast, so we made a quick change of plans and decided to simply practice a little in the alley. and once i got set up, our niece logan eagerly ran to join zach in front of the camera.
i should just ask her to be my model next time.
haha.
here’s what we got.
look at those baby blues!
ol’ bruiser-bruise wanted to join in through the hole in the fence.
i’m off to second-shoot for another wedding with the lovely helen today!
what are you up to this weekend?
p.s. don’t forget to enter in my first birthday giveaway! it ends tomorrow!
