Through the Eyes of a Child

Everything is new, exciting, and a wonder yet to be discovered. Ms. Molly Grace showed us how to completely enjoy a beautiful Autumn Day.

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

This sitting hit home. My husband is a twin, and I was called upon to photograph a wonderful family. They were having their first children, little boy twins. They knew ahead of time that one twin would survive and one would not. They were such wonderful people, love just permeated the room even in this bittersweet moment. Each time I do a NILMDTS shoot, I will post this banner to honor Heaven's newest angel. Dottie

Just for Fun

Sometimes I just like to go out & shoot photos, just for fun. Here are a few recent ones. Enjoy! Dottie

Could this one be a comment on the energy crisis & the sagging economy! :)

Ladder Training

With the help of some wonderful city volunteers and the ACFR Instructors, Firefighter I students spent the day at the training building learning the fine art of throwing ladders. The students worked hard and according to their instructors did a great job. Here are a few photos from last Saturday. Peace, Dottie

Family Fun

As promised, here's the video...

Family Photos are Fun

I had the privilege of photographing an awesome family (and some good friends) this past week, they were great sports, we had a good time, and got some priceless shots along the way. Here are a few shots from the sitting... watch for the slide show in the near future. :) Peace, Dottie

Random photos and big news...

It's a great time of year for taking photos, soft light, beautiful colors and nice weather. I've been taking walks and having fun. Below are a few pics, the little park down the street, and the Barboursville Ruins, (a beautiful place ) if you haven't been there, you should take a little field trip. Tomorrow though I'll be "shooting people" I have a family sitting coming up, and I'm really looking forward to it. Not only are they great peeps, but I've got a new toy in my arsenal to try out on them. :) My big news: I've finally bought the 70-200mm f2.8 IS lens! woohoo.... I've played with it a little, but I'm really excited about doing the family portraits tomorrow... Stay tuned. Dottie
