Farmer's Market

I had a blast this morning at the farmer's market! I went with my my husband and daughter, who seemed to have just as much fun as I did. While I took a few pictures here and there, the two of them sampled some kettle corn and bought some delicious tomatoes.

For lunch we decided to eat there. The two of them shared a crab cake and I bought some cold squash soup ( completely vegetarian ) and completely delicious! I can't wait to go back next week!

What a day!

AOII!! What a great group of girls! I had a long morning with them and really enjoyed taking their pictures. They take group pictures at the beginning of each year to get ready for recruitment (basically to show off what AOII has to offer) and this year I got to capture AOII.

This was my first time dealing with a large group of people (good practice for the wedding!) and let me tell you my throat was sore when I was finished. It was a lot more difficult telling people where to stand and what not. But by the end I got the hang of it. Besides not being comfortable with large groups, I had forgotten my other lens that would have been sooo very helpful in this situation. I do not want that to happen again but better now than later.

Overall, it was a great day! Thanks again ladies!

AOII

So tomorrow I am off to George Mason University to take some pictures of a great sorority AOII. I am so excited to do this!! I think the only challenge I will have is taking group, large group, pictures. I have yet to do this, so trying to figure out where everyone will stand and making sure you can see everyone is going to be quite a challenge but if that's my only obstacle through the day then I am pretty sure I should be OK. I can't wait to post pictures!!

CCMD What up?

I spent a hot summer afternoon and evening with some of the most amazing and coolest people. It was the CCMD Annual Employee Golf Outing. Ipersonally chose not to golf. It was for my own pride and for the safety of those around me. I enjoyed taking pictures just as much as they enjoyed playing! It was great way to spend time with friends. Here are a sneak peak of some pictures I took! More to come by the end of the week!

August has arrived...

and unfortunately it is still here. I have no appointments schedule this month, that is why I am offering do a shoot for a couple who is either engaged or in love for FREE... (well basically). They have to be open to having fun and spending the whole afternoon together. I need a couple who's style is not too trendy, some what relaxed but at the same time know how to rock a tie or some heels. I have some ideas in my head that I would love to put in image. So if you or someone you know is open this session, tell them to email me @ persnicketyphotography@yahoo.com for details. Thanks again everyone!!

Missouri Sky

Stunning.Amzing.Awesome.God at his best. W.E or however you wish to describe it's the kind of thing you wish everyone could see. These pictures do not even begin to show how awesome it was to watch the loud, out of no where, weird thunderstorm. My family and I literally stood outside on the front porch and just watch the sky go from blue to gray to black. It was something none of us had seen before. ( and no it was not just a thunderstorm otherwise I would not be posting about it) My words can't describe what we saw or witnessed but God was def. up to something!

How were the pictures edited?

Add a bit of light to both and simply had a bit of color to the rainbow picture.

So um who's next?

That's the question of the day. Who will be next in the Persnickety portfolio? Right now I have 4 to 5 appointments on the books. Spread out over the next few months....(big sigh). So I will ask again who is next?

I have concluded that my enjoyment and love for photography is simply that. I love it and enjoy it so much that I don't see it as work. It is more or less a hobby that could possibly help out ($$) a bit around the house. I wasn't quite sure if this is what the LORD was wanting me to do but now I am sure of it.

I need to keep taking pictures. It's that one thing in life that brings satisfaction and in a weird way closer the LORD. So will you be next in my photography journey? I would love to take your picture!
