Photography...Passion vs. a Paycheck

Sorry, it's been quite a while since I have updated this blog.  I have been busy capturing the life of others, enjoying my own, and working on my personal blog.  For some photographers taking pictures may just be a paycheck, but for me it is much more...it's a passion! Granted, I have to charge for what I do, because it takes a lot of time away from my family between shooting and editing....and time with my family is very valuable to me! But there is nothing I love more than taking a special moment in time and making it last forever. I have gotten behind on sharing those moments, but here are some that I've been able to capture over the past few months. It makes my heart smile just to go back and look at these, because they are so much more than just pictures to me.

They show the pure innocence of a newborn baby and the absolute joy that they bring to the home in which God has placed them.








They represent how fast those little newborns grow up and make you want to soak in and enjoy every little moment and milestone.



And speaking of time flying....they represent the time in one's life when they get to go out into the "real world" and begin the journey of discovering who they want to be and what they want to do with their one precious life they've been given.






And then there is LOVE...oh, sweet love! So many ways for it to be represented...





















And that, my friends, is why photography is way more that just a job for me...it's a privilege!
