Small success

Oh how I always want success to come over night! I am so in love with Jasmine Star's photography and blog. And if I was as blog savvy as Amy Galloway I would link you to her! Well to both of them with the mere stoke of the keys...but since I am just starting out..give a girl a break. :) I admit it when something is kicking my butt...and yes blogging is. I still find myself relishing in the fact that what I have written here at my little desk in Smithfield has even made it to the World Wide Web...I guess I can be happy with small successes. And speaking of..here is a quick peak at the ever beautiful Mary FOSTER and her handsome new husband Neil.

I'm working on all the photos and I am happy how they turned out. Of course we are our own worse critics and the more I look at them the more I become determined to be better. I love it though. Being a photographer for as many years as I have been, doing this has lit a fire that I thought had since been "burned out"





This photo says it all about this couple. I was in awe of them. When you work day in and day out on stories of what horrible things man kind can do to one another meeting people like Mary and Neil and their family and friends is more than a gift...it is a BLESSING!!! Thanks guys!!

Bridal portraits...pphheewww!


Okay I admit it now that I was very nervous about this shoot! Give me a break though. A woman in a wedding dress is just a tad bit different than what I am used to shooting :) Mary was awsome and Icouldnt have asked for a better photo subject! Her sisters and mother came with her and it made for a wonderful evening. Not just all the picture taking but just being around a bunch of girls was nice. What a neat family! Well here are some of my favorites..






This is my favorite!

















oh...and sorry about the ticks...yyuuucckk. Thats the country for ya :)

Just a little Shurtz Girl!!



I just had to show the world the most beautiful baby! And lets take a moment to recognize the pink flamingo attire and give a good old fashion Shurtz shout out to Grandma!! Everyone loves MAS and MES.


And if getting this beautiful picture of my niece who I miss so much wasn't enough to pull on the heart strings..finding this note that Bug left while she was here was!


I am counting down the days...

The beaches in Smithfield!!


So the beaches here in Smithfield look slightly different then they do in Florida... :) I love Sunday drives. I hate Sundays though. Spring has sprung and its just beautiful here! Did a little strawberry picking, a little annual potting and some Sunday sushi eating. I still hate Sundays! Had a minor accident this weekend and have a black eye..all questions will answered privately. hahaha other than that everything is peachy. Oh yea hooked a big bass this morning :) I LOVE THE COUNTRY! and (I know its now monday night)
