It's been a while...

It's been such a long time since I've written and for good reason. I've been working like crazy on my photography business and beautiful things are coming to fruition. While I've been working on printing and framing and the day to day things, I've been feeling a deep need to experiment with new photographic techniques. Then came my husband to save the day... for my birthday he surprised me with amazing new lenses for my camera and I am in heaven! With all new new options to explore, I feel like I'm finding my "voice" all over again. I really am at the beginning experimental stages and I can't wait to see what develops. I don't want to force, I'm just letting inspiration settle in naturally.

Yesterday it was long overdue to spend some time with my grandma so Rio and I went over there and played!  We played with toys, we played with the piano, we played in the magical backyard, we played with bubbles.  Rio started playing with some dirt but I had to put that to an end pretty quick.  Sorry honey...  you go a little crazy with the dirt.  

I love that little girl of mine...

P.S.  I just entered this image with two others in a photography competition on facebook... Wish me luck!
