I did my first real photo shoot this week. I mean with people.  Not with Pyrex or cast iron or furniture.  Real people and several shots.  Real people out in the pasture.  I even stepped in a cow pattie.  Now…I have done mini photo shoots with my kids…but they don’t really WANT their pictures taken. I also did a shoot with my husband and son that I loved but…these were people that wanted me to take their pictures.  Thus…Farmhouse Photography was born.

The first pictures that I edited of them, proudly wore my Along the Dirt Road badge.  Then my husband said “Would you want to use something else for photography?”  (Always thinking on the business end, that one.) Hmmmm……..well.  Then my client sent a text and jokingly referred to us as Farmhouse Photography.  Just like that…a new “something” was birthed into existence. 

I am in no way claiming to be a pro.  I have oodles and gobs to learn…but I love the way that this shoot turned out.  I love it when my photos tell a story.  It’s the “creative” in me. I think that happened here…and I love it.  I am thankful when the Creator…inspires me to be creative.

Someone asked if I have a blog page for photography. Not yet, but…who knows where this will lead?  Maybe one day.  Right now…I’m just thankful for this one little photo shoot and possibilities.  I’m also excited about all that there is to learn…for Bertha and I. (Bertha is my camera.) Farmhouse Photography…has a nice ring.  Thanks Amanda! 😉

Trying to stay in focus… uh hum….sorry…I couldn’t resist! 😉

p.s.  A huge thank you to my husband’s cousin, Brian, who made my new badge.  He does photography and design and lets me pick his brain.  What more can you ask for? Thanks B.!
