Practice makes perfect....in theory

So most of you out there who know me know

I'm kind of a perfectionist. 

I like to do a lot of things and I like to have them be

PERFECT. 

Perfectly decorated, perfectly iced perfect perfect perfect

While this is sometimes really annoying (to myself and others)

it's also what helps me to always want to learn. 

All that being said I want my pictures to be perfect.  

will they ever be?

NO. 

At least not in my eyes. 

Nothing i do is. 

I'm definitely my worst critic in all things.

But I read and read anything I get my hands on to help me grow as a photographer.

I just want to be BETTER all the time.

After some reading and acquiring new knowledge i had to go 

practice.
I'm trying to get better at using my fancy flash.
It's coming along I think. 

Here are some shots I took of 

my lovely pet model Koda and

my darling girl 

Madison. 

He is my favorite.  He's just so pretty!

I can't believe my sweet M is going to be 8 next month!!

She has grown into such a beautiful little girl

with just as much personality as she had when she 

was a little thing.
