Kindle the Heart Blog

IT'S FINISHED!!!

The new blog is FINALLY finished.  You can find it HERE

Don't ever come here again :-)

It's HERE!!!

The BIG changes are here!!!  I am so excited and proud to introduce you to my new branding and business name.  I will no longer operate under the name Pitter Patter Photography.  From this day forward, I will be Kindle the Heart Fine Art Photography.  I chose the name "Kindle the Heart" because I feel that it speaks of the emotion I try to capture in my images.  I've been hard at work on the new web site and all the branding collateral.  The one thing that is NOT ready is the blog.  ::sigh::  There were WAY to many things to have ready to make the switch!  I will be working on a brand new blog over the next few weeks (months?) so you'll just have to hang in here with me a bit longer on that.

I hope you enjoy the new site, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

The Big Changes are Almost Here!!!

I hope to reveal the big changes in the next 3-4 days.  Stay tuned!  You don't want to miss this!!!

Big Changes...

There are some big, big, BIG changes coming to Pitter Patter Photography in the next couple of weeks (did I say big?)  BIG!  Stay tuned, you won't want to miss it!!!  Did I mention the changes are BIG?  Oh, yeah.  I guess I did.  Seriously, it is going to be GREAT! (and BIG!)  LOL!

I got lost...

in nature!  My family and I just returned from a camping trip.  One afternoon I headed off down the trail for a couple hours with my camera and just photographed anything that struck my fancy.  I just love taking pictures for fun!!!

World Record Holder...

You are looking at the current world record holder for most wheel horse power on a stock computer.  It was built by a local company, Mooremax Performance. In the interest of full disclosure, my brother is part owner in this company and built this car (I'm so proud!!!)  I was honored to be asked by the owner of the car to photograph the car both during the record run, and in this beautiful scenic location for the promotional materials.  

I also had the privilege of taking a ride in this car.  Holy, moly is this thing FAST!!!  If you ever get the opportunity to take a fast car down the track, DON'T PASS IT UP!!  It is exhilarating!!!  One word of warning though--make sure your head is pressed against the head rest before the car leaves the starting line or you will get whiplash!!!

Stupid Camera Tricks...

Need I say more???

It's amazing what can be done on a dark night with a camera and a flashlight LOL!

One year ago today...

That's right!  It was one year ago today that my Mama had bi-lateral mastectomy.  And to celebrate one year being cancer free, we threw a PARTY!!  But not just any party---it was a SURPRISE party!

She was totally surprised.  She just stood in one spot waving her arms back and forth and screaming!

She cried (just a little)...

I have been trying for about 2 years to get a picture of my grandmother (she has late stage Alzheimer's and isn't very cooperative)  I used my step-dad's 200mm lens :-p

Of course, when she realized I was taking her picture...

She still has her sense of humor :-D

My step-dad got Mama  the most gorgeous pink roses along with a card that sings "I will survive" LOL!...

The party came off without a hitch!  And my kids didn't even give the secret away :-)

Busy, busy, busy!

This is Miss CG---you may recognize her as the little girl on my splash page. I have been taking her portraits since she was about 9 months old. Isn't she the cutest thing?!?!?!??? She is so much FUN! She kept me on my toes today running around and doing the 2 year old thing!

Check out that purse LOL!

I love the innocence of this image.

This is just classic. Who can resist a little girl in a big pouffy skirt blowing a dandelion puff??? Couldn't you just eat her up?!?!?!?

Thanks B! I'll talk to you soon!

Just one jar of jam...

You know I've been working the strawberries for the last few days. I finally made my way through a total of 20 GALLONS (yes you read that right!). One of my photographer friends Kimberly Hill, really, REALLY wants some jam, and since we're going to a class together in July, I decided to set a jar aside for her. I decided the only way to keep it safe from all the kids and my husband was to put it in a place of reverence, in a display case with this note...

I wonder if it will still be there when the time comes???
