A Day at Sherwood Gardens
As I pulled up to the Gardens this morning I was thrilled that my client had changed the location of her photo shoot from home to here. Her friend told her that the tulips were in bloom early this year, and thanks to our freakishly warm weather this year, she was right!
They ended up running late, which gave me some time to mingle and have some fun of my own. Here are some images I captured this morning of the gardens in bloom.

Rosie Turns 2
Last month I had the opportunity to photograph one of my favorite little friend's second birthday party at a local gym for toddlers. Here are some of my favorite moments.

New Endeavours
I was recently approached by a friend who said she loves the photos that I am constantly posting on my Facebook page. Compliments like this always make me so happy, so I told her this than I quickly added that I was sorry I hadn't posted anything in quite a while. So, what have I been up to?
For years I had been working in a photo shop and shooting, shooting, and shooting. As the industry underwent drastic changes the business in the store became slower, slower, than slower. Eventually in March of 2011 I was laid off. In January of 2012 that company went completely under.
So, it was time for a job search! I was hoping to score something in editing as I have experience running a photo lab and am pretty bad-ass at using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. I searched and searched, however it became evident that these positions are few and far between in Baltimore. Actually, during my search I came across one position that I wanted. Wow. One job. How many people live in this city? Well, I didn't get that job.
So I continued my search. I also continued taking lots of photos.
In the midst of being unemployed I decided to step up my yoga game so I wouldn't lose my mind being stuck in my apartment all day. I had been practicing yoga for a while, going to a class once a week. I decided to step it up to three times a week, and it worked! I am proud to announce that I did not lose my mind!
After months of job searching some serious frustrations began to set in. I started to realize that if I wanted to survive and pay off those grossly accumulated student loans I might have to find something else to do. What else am I passionate about? The answer to that was yoga!
After doing some research on this I have decided to get certified to teach yoga and have signed up for a two year program to become a physical therapist assistant.
Don't worry though! I am not going to stop taking pictures, and will most definitely continue to book sessions for children and weddings. I just wanted to let everyone know that if you are wondering why I haven't posted anything in a while it is because I am deep in the midst of schooling for these things.
As my education expands into a crazy realm of science that I never thought I would have participated in before, I am starting to see the influence it is having toward ideas in the area of art. I have been jotting thoughts down and can't wait for summer break as I will then have time to put my ideas into motion and bring some new imagery into the world!
Here are some self portraits I created for a project at school a few months ago. I'm not sure why I didn't share them before, but now they are very appropriate for this post.
