"It is the best of all trades to make songs, and the second best to sing them." Hilaire Belloc

It's official! I'm a professional portrait photographer, with pay and everything! It was my first time, and I was feeling pretty scared. I wanted so much to please my sister and brother-in-law that I was afraid to step in and tell them what to do.

I have a second chance to take pictures tomorrow with Ricky's parents and family.

Here are my favorite non-retouched photos from the Nelson shoot today, give feedback, I love to hear it!








And of course I got a shot of a leaf and an obligatory shot of my boys.
