- Introducing BOB!
Wow! This blank page is really intimidating. Why don’t I start with something simple. Hi! That was simple enough. I was trying to decide what I should blog about first, then it came to me. BOB! I will blog about BOB! You will find that my kids are my main source of inspiration, laughter and occassionaly my frustration! My daughter is a real character. I don’t think she does anything “normal”. Gee, wonder where she gets that from? She recently got a haircut, you guessed it, a BOB. She was a little upset at first at the thought of getting a haircut with a boys name. She is, after all “the girl” as she will ever so politely tell you. She has adjusted well to BOB, although BOB is now an entity. He is very much a new part of our family. Like the other day I asked her to get me the comb so I could fix her up – she replies, “Oh goody your going to comb BOB”. Her daddy came home from work and the first thing she does is run out to him, put her hand on her hip and annouce, “So, how do you like BOB”? Course, daddy had no idea what in the world she was talking about. This new hairdo led to a photoshoot (of course). Maybe she will always be this crazy, but she always makes us laugh and I will always have the photos to prove what a goofball she is!
Enough about BOB, and little about me. I am a self taught photographer. I love to study the latest techniques and keep up with trends. I love the latest trends, but tend to rely on timeless classics. I love B&W photos. They tell such a story, so simple and so fixed on detail. I excel at child photography, which is what I do the most of. Family and teens are my next favorite and I am learning to embrace commercial photography. It is amazing the opportunities that are out there for someone who really wants them. Photography is a picture into ones character and imagination. The things a photographer dreams up and uses in his/her photo sessions are part of who he/she is. I hope that in mine you will see a love for life, a love for family and a love for the Creator. ~ Amanda Star
That last paragraph is wonderful. I think you should consider adding it to your “about me” section. Particularly the last sentence~ what a strong ending that would be. Over time, this first post will be lost in the depths of your blog, that sentence is too good to lose.
Agree with Jessie! that last line is awesome, and Sophie’s definitely got your personality!!!!!
