The Name

The name I chose as I begin this adventure--Hands and Feet--has meaning to me on multiple levels. The day I was brainstorming for names, the Audio Adrenaline song "Hands and Feet" was stuck in my head, yet for no reason..as I have been only been listening to children's music the last couple years since the birth of my son. Yet this idea struck a chord with me as I have always loved hands...not so much feet, until those baby toes came along, then I fell for those cute baby feet...fitting so small in the palm of my hand. And on the most important note, my faith calls me to be the 'Hands and Feet' of God. As I begin this journey, I seek to dedicate myself to His service. I seek to touch the lives of others through my joy of photography...helping them to treasure the moments and gift of life we have been given.

The Beginning...

After the wedding, after the vacation, after a child has grown, pictures are the evidence we have to hold onto along with our treasured memories... I have always loved pictures. Being surrounded by people and places I love brings happiness to my soul. However, it has just been most recently that I have taken this love and passion to next level.

My husband so graciously purchased a camera for my birthday. While he imagined I would play and toy with it a little, we have both been surprised how I have become somewhat addicted to it. Granted, I am still at the beginning stages, learning how to use all the different settings, but Oh, what fun! At night while I should be sleeping, the wheels in my mind start turning 100mph of all the things I could do or need to work on learning. Thankfully I have dear friends that are willing to let me use their baby for my first model. I will have a link to some announcements and cards I have designed....coming soon, but in the meantime here are a couple samples!
