As I sat at my computer screen editing away and scheduling my life, I felt a sudden urge to make some changes.  As some may know, I was dealt an interesting and unique deck in life and becoming a wedding and portrait photographer was something that I stumbled upon by chance.  Or really by God’s grace as it has been one of the greatest blessings my life has seen.  I taught myself the ins and outs of the profession and through practice, research and more practice, got to where I was and was very very happy there.  But on this one day as I sat at the computer screen, I said to myself, “I want more.  More for me, more for my kids, and more for my clients.”  I decided in that instant to go back to college and complete my degree in art and photography.  A degree that had been hanging over my head for 12 years.  A degree that I feared my children would tell me that they would never get because I hadn’t.  A degree that would challenge my photography ideas and teach me new things to make me a better photographer for, well, you!  After 2 years of studying, I am pleased to say that I did it!  I just graduated this past May with my art degree and I feel so much better equipped to create art and beautiful images for all of the fantastic people who trust me to do just that.  In those 2 years, I dappled with many topics ranging from photojournalism, conceptual art, movement, and even travel to Italy!  I wanted to share some of my adventures with all of you.  Here is a very small sampling of what my experience taught me.  Enjoy!  It’s so good to be back!
