Me trying to blog more... :)

I've been doing a lot of thinking... I spend a lot of time looking at everyone elses work (I call it "getting inspired"... lol) but found myself trying to find what makes my photography special and what makes me stand out from other photographers... have you ever thought about that? It's been a challenge to look at my work as good when there's so many great photographers out there... I found this quote on Jasmine Stars blog the other day and really like it-

"We all have our own unique abilities. Don't focus on what others can do, but, rather, what you can do to make yourself better. You taught yourself photography, and you're getting better each day...don't envy his work. Appreciate his work. And appreciate yours."

.. apparently even the big time photography 'stars' doubt themselves. I've been challenging myself to read less and get out more. Watch out NY, MD, DC and VA I've been inspired! ...inspired to be ME! :)

Alyssa Grace (15 MOS) and Zachary Conner (4yrs)

I know I have been terrible about blogging on here on a consistent basis but I'm trying! This past weekend was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL OUT! Such a tease because today is rainy and miserable out! My son Zachary is 4 (12/24) and boy is he fast, deliberate and ALL BOY. My daughter Alyssa is a little "girlie girl"- She's learning to walk outside on uneven grass and boy does that give her trouble. She'll fall and look at her dirty hands and run to me "ewww" :)Oh and yesterday Zellie the bully German Shepherd knocked Alyssa off of the porch where she face planted in to cement :( The poor girl has a HUGE EGG on her head! :( She's alright but, it was scary- she never screamed like that before!

My kids are so much a like yet so different and it's AWESOME! My husband and I are blessed that's for sure!
