Photography to you in one word???
Memories! Photographs hold those moments which pass and we
can't get back, they store the moments and preserve the memories,
so yes Photography means memories.
Your favourite thing to shoot.
I love to take photos of my children, they are normally the subject and I have far
too many photographs of them, but I also love taking photos of my boxer dog and wildlife.
What photography is/means to you
I have always loved photos, right from when I was a little girl I would happily sit for hours
looking through photographs, when I moved out from my mum and dads the only thing
I wanted to take with me was my box of photographs, and when I got hold of my first digital
camera I started taking more and more photos. I am by no means a professional
photographer I just simply love capturing memories sharing them and looking back
at them, I only have a cheap point and shot camera so I don't really know alot about
the technicalities of photography, I simply try to capture
the essence of the moment and hope for the best!
Your favorite shot you took (EVER!<--lol)
Oh thats difficult because I always really LOVE the photo that I have most recently
taken, then look back at it a few months later and think, ohh its not that great. There are
however some photos which I am particularly proud of, ones which have really surprised
me and made me smile time and time again so here's a few of my current
favourite shots but ask me again in 6 months and it will be a different set!
Photographer that inspires you
That's an interesting question too, because I don't really have one dedicated photographer
that I look at and think of as being my inspiration, however I have so many photography
pages on my facebook, and blogs in my blog reader and each and every one of them
make me go 'wow!' they are my inspiration all of them together
like a big mixed bag of amazingness!
Your biggest photo goal.
Blimey these are like proper photographer style questions aren't they! I feel almost abit
of a fraud answering them because I just have a love for capturing the moment, and am
not all that good at being on the ball with all things photography. I would therefore say
my biggest goal is to beable to have photos which capture all my childrens lives right
up till they have their own children... then I can start capturing them too!
Your photo gadgets.
well that's easy, I currently have just a simple little Olympus VG-120 which was
about £60 I don't actually have any love for it and much preferred my Cannon powershot
A490 which again was just a cheap point and shoot but I absolutely loved the clarity
of the photos taken with that, but my youngest scratched the lens so I had to have what
was on offer at the time. Maybe one day I will beable to get my hands on some real
proper kit! As for editing, I love to edit in Paint Shop Pro, I have a love for digital
scrapbooking, Picmonkey.com is great for quick and easy edits too.

How great is she?! Looking forward to getting yo know you more & more Sarah!

<<My take on a {A Mother's LOVE}>>
I wanted to share a few of my FAVorite pics with my sweet boy & me!
Oh. This IS love.
When I look at this shot I feel like I can actually see how much my sweet little man loves his mommy.
I had a little bit of an "A-HA" moment the other day...
(Btw, does anyone else miss Oprah, as much as I do?)
I find myself second guessing my self a LOT.
Am I a good partner, friend, mom? Am I pretty enough, smart enough, am I ENOUGH.
As women, & as mothers, I know a lot of us battle these questions often.
My "A-ha" moment...
If I am fortunate enough to have this little face to wake up to each & every morning,
A sweet little soul, a gift from God above that LOVES ME. REALLY LOVES ME.
If I am "good enough" to receive this little man's love...
Then that is IT.
That's all I need to know.
I'm sure I'll have my moments, it wouldn't be normal not to...
But.
I will remember, & be thankful for the love in my life that I am SO worthy of!
AND so are YOU!!
***Happy Mother's Day friends***
