A Layout that is ME

I finally found a layout that is more descriptive of me and my personality. This feels better.

So you will notice that my blog is Anne Elliott Photo. Let me preface that I am not the portraiture that my friend Sharon is. She captures beautiful photos of people I know and love. Her artistry decorates my home via photos of my child. And I am not a wedding photographer like my friend Lynn Michel

le. OMG! I wish I had the experience to capture things the way she does. I am merely an amateur photographer at this point with a passion for capturing nature, and life in the moment.

My daughter is my most captured subject. I love to capture those moments that being a kid is all about. Bare feet in the grass and staring at the sky. Smelling flowers like you have never seen them before.

Recently we had a crazy snow storm here in Big D. We got a record 12.5 inches of snow! This was incredible. I could hardly believe the awesome beauty of it. It made me see the nature around me in a whole new way.

Here is a teaser from the first day we awoke to a snowy wonderland.

More to come once I get them loaded and edited. I welcome comments and suggestions to grow my talents. I hope you enjoy my work.

We may finally be near a resolution

So, everyone blogs. And I'm not sure blogging is completely my thing. But, I decided to start using this tool more to grow my talents. And hence, and update is in order. Over the last 6 months, we have been enduring the challenge that is building a new house. It seems the end may be near. We are scheduled to close within the next week should we get everything in order. YAY!!!

And so for now, I bid you adieu. I'm exhausted and need rest. Look for new pic blogs coming soon!

So what is it that I do...

Well, as far a photography goes...mostly my daughter, and lots of nature pics. I love flowers. The smell. The colors. Just about everything about a flower. My daughter is an especially good subject because she is always willing to perk up a smile. I am continuing to search out what is my best subject matter.

However, my talents extend from beyond my camera. I bake a lot of home made birthday cakes for family and friends. I enjoy it. My fans call it "a little slice of heaven". I also love crafting and sewing. Thinking about making up a bunch of holiday aprons to sell at the local church fair in the fall.

My day job includes taking my daughter to work with me. I work with my family. Not something I recommend for everyone, but we are determined to survive this recession with our business intact. So together we fight everyday for those orders, and to stop our politicians from bankrupting this country. The latter being a topic for another time. What I do for the family business includes everything from fabrication to web development.
