Welcome

I'm Jessica, wife, mom and photographer. This is my personal blog where I'll talk about my life, my children, photography, and my upcoming journey of being a surrogate mother. I'm a little scatterbrained when it comes to writing so hopefully I wont confuse everyone who's reading!

Grandpa Paul's sweet tea. No one makes it quite like he does. One of the many reasons I look forward to Sunday dinners at my grandparents house<3

Self Portrait

     Oh my goodness... Today I took on the task of taking a "funny or different" self portrait to be entered in a contest for a photography class on Natural light. I would REALLY love to win, but aside from that, I learned a LOT today!

     1. Self portraits, are super difficult. I don't know why I thought it would be easy, and that my little to no light in my house would work. Maybe I'm more naive than I thought I was!

     2. I am a very creative person.... until it comes to photography. I can crochet, sew, and pretend I know how to paint. Setting up a creative photo? Not so much! It's like I go brain dead when it comes to being different in front of the camera. I'm going to have to work on that ;)

Anyhow, here is what I came up with. Thank you David for helping me set everything up<3

And then some "normal" self portraits:


Here's to hoping I got a shot at this!
