Well, I never thought I’d have a website. But here it is and I can’t wait to jump right in! And I’m so glad you’re joining me. Since we’re celebrating my debut, this first post is going to be about just having some fun in front of the camera. Here we go – starring my very own three favorite models (HAH! They have more trouble sitting still than I do!)
Truth is, they’re not that crazy about traditional poses. I know, big shocker, right? But it’s ok with me, because I think the best photos are the ones that find the magic in the moment…and not necessarily the ones with the perfect well-behaved say-cheese smiles. (Although those are nice, too. And those of you with children who act like THAT in front of the camera should go ah
ead and call me now!)
So instead of begging them to sit still, lots of times I’ll dare them to do something goofy, or challenge them to do something a little risky, or try to catch them when they’re not looking, or when they’re just having a blast being silly. And there it is – the moment that takes my breath away.
And just when I think I’ll never get a good shot of them all looking at the camera and smiling – at the same time – they give me their full attention, and their biggest grins. And just like that, it all comes together, like a surprise present you never knew you even wanted. And it looks like this:
Thanks for the gift, chickens…Mama loves you. There’s just nobody I have more fun with. (OK, maybe there are a few nobodies, And y’all know who you are!) 
Hope everybody enjoyed these “humble beginnings” – stay tuned! There will be more soon!
