All These Things That I've Done...
All the images in this portfolio are part of my everyday. They are part of my heart, soul, and sometimes tears. Each moment captured is for purpose. Whether it be assisting with a anesthetic procedure in the veterinary hospital, being involved in the lives of my kids, walks, things I love, things I hate; it is... all these things that I've done.

The holiday season is an important time for me, as it allows me to spend quality moments with my family and create fun experiences together. My kids and pets love the beauty of the holiday lights, and we have created many magical moments. While working on night photography, I captured the night sky, where rolling clouds created a stunning sight in the photo.

Being a mother has been one of the most challenging parts of my life. I grew into motherhood by accident. My husband and I had been married for five years, accepted, and embraced not having kids. When we became parents together, our lives were forever changed. Motherhood is hard. It can be ugly. It can be draining. It is also strengthening. It is rewarding. It is beautiful. It creates memories that we may take for granted when we are in the moment, but when we take a moment to stop and breathe, it is a hood I am truly grateful to be a part of.

This was, by far, the most rewarding assignment of the class. While reviewing the photos I have taken throughout the class, I realized that my technique has changed. I am more aware of the lighting and recongize when lighting is “good” versus “great”. I stopped using angles that did not fit the rule of thirds. I sought opportunities to use the scenery around me to frame the subject. I am still a lover of candid moments, but I choose a different approach and find angles that might make the image better.
