A New Do for 2009

So I started the year off with a pretty drastic change... for me anyways. I'm pretty much the most boring hair person around. I just don't change it up very often.

Well, I ended up cutting my hair. Not just a 1/4 inch, like usual--- but I had around 8 inches cut off! For me, that' s pretty radical. I've had long hair forever.

My motivation?

My Husband. Blame him. One day he mentioned that he liked me in short hair... so it got me thinking.

Then on my recent trip to California, my niece Krystal-- who is nearly finished with beauty school - mentioned that she could go get her scissors... My whole family egged her on-- and, well-- I now have much shorter hair.

The good news is that I am really happy with it--- Great Job Krystal!!!

More importantly...so is Peter!~ So here you go.. a few photos of the new me:

I love you Peter!!

I love this catagory. There is nothing more exciting to me as a photographer than the use of light in an image--- it is all the really matters in photography-- in terms of the bigh picture.

I've learned so much this year about lighting and have njoyed trying new things. I hope you enjoy some of my favorite images captured -- where the light really shines!
