This week I had the sheer enjoyment of photographing little Liam. I've never seen a little one year old move so fast. When he crawled, his knees never touched the carpet. ZOOM>>>> there he went. So cute though. A little bundle of love. Such a joy to photograph. Look at this little lion man.

Looking forward to making him smile for years to come:)

I would also like to mention, Photography by Hilary is now an official preferred photographer at the The Geneva Lodge. One of the loveliest places to hold any occasion down at good ol' GOTL. *wink wink nudge nudge* I grew up in Geneva, so it only made sense still living so close to home to reach out to such an establishment. Plus, I photographed a wedding there last fall and really had a nice experience. So they invited me to participate in a 'Grand Bride's Tasting Event' where I could display my work. small detail. I had 5 days to put my first full display together> I rocked it. I made some canvases and metal prints. I grabbed some crafty ideas off of  Pinterest, and took what I learned from some Today's Brides Shows. I was pretty happy with what I came up with. Go Van's Photo for the quick turn around. You guys rock! (full disclosure: i work there:) I got a chance to talk to a bride or two. But total upside I wasn't expecting, I met some really awesome local vendors. And got to hang out with some other really awesome local photographers, Paul Thomas Photography and Martello Photography. Giving up some props for the local peeps. :) Josh Woodward from Bloomers Florist and everyone else there was so friendly. So it was an awesome weekend. So looking forward to booking weddings only 15 minutes from home. :) not going to lie :)
Later in the week I went to a seminar on Senior photography with Sal Cincotta. He is, as always, very inspirational. And he makes me want to jump into this crazy world with every thing I have, all systems go, give it everything I have with every fiber of my being. I need that every once in a while. Like a big ol' kick from the behind. Someone saying, go on. Take it. It's yours.
