TO BLOG OR NOT TO BLOG...

I am going to start ACTUALLY blogging. 

I have been so bad about doing this.. it's just one of those things that every day I get up and say..
TODAY'S THE DAY!!!
I will start writing on my blog today and at least once a week. 
then that week rolls on by and I start this argument in my head titled.. TO BLOG OR NOT TO BLOG THAT IS THE QUESTION!!!

So I was starting to think that blogging is becoming a thing of the past. 
Then I researched it a little and BOY WAS I WRONG...
Blogging is still a great resource that I have been totally screwing up.
So with this new info in mind.. I am NOW putting this on my calendar for a once a week event.

You know what frustrates me about myself and having my own business?  Is that I am so unorganized for myself.  What I mean by that is when I was working for someone else in whatever job capacity it was.. I was completely organized. I could run circles around anyone.  I could do so many things and do them all soooo well.  Then I started working for myself and it's like all my brain function in that area flew out the window.  WHY???  This is the time I need to be 110% running circles around myself.  There is no reason to not get this in gear.  I mean come on.. it's been long enough. 

So since this is my birthday month, and none of us are getting any younger,  I am making a new commitment to MYSELF. 
I am letting go of the old habits and ways of doing things and really going after what I want no matter what that is in my life.
I will be posting more.
I will purge purge purge.
I will take time for myself.
I will become the best version of myself. in business and personal.
I will be the person I have always meant to be.

So stay tuned folks.. for the best me YET!!!!

ANDERSON - SUPERHERO EXTRAORDINAIRE {TAMPA AREA PHOTOGRAPHER}

So a long time client contacted me to do her amazing son's 3rd birthday photos.  She said "he's into superheros what do you think?"  I said.. "LET'S DO IT"
She got some superhero capes and masks and brought his super hero collection and we went down to Ybor.  Because you can't be Spiderman unless you have buildings to sling your web on. And what would Batman be with his "gotham."  And let's not even talk about Captain America and Superman saving the world. We had such FUN.. he was so adorable and amazing and so was Dad. Great job Mom with the capes and masks.  
I really loved this session.  But I always love these sessions with Andy.
thanks for being such loyal and awesome clients.. I LOVE watching him grow up.


Have a great one .. enjoy the newest SUPERHERO..

drying out the capes while he does his Captain America thing

SPIDERMAN SPIDERMAN.. DOES WHATEVER A SPIDER CAN.  

who is that cutie behind that mask

Every Batman needs Superman in his life. 

FLYING LIKE SUPERHEROS DO. 

my gang!!

I just love these guys.  

but not as much as my Captain America Bear.  

PURE CUTENESS HERE. 

THIS PHOTO JUST HAPPENED..
WE HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS STORE LIKE THIS WHERE WE WHERE SHOOTING.
IT WAS PERFECTION.   

AND SIDE NOTE - What I really love about Mom here is that she always does a shoot involving what he is into at the time.. for his two year old session it was Winnie the Pooh..
So keep that in mind when you call me to do those milestone photos.  It doesn't have to be hugely elaborate.. a few things make all the difference.

30 day photo challenge.

So a photographer friend challenged me to do a 30 day photo a day challenge with her. It was fun but I am glad it's done.  Enjoy them.. I posted them all in my instagram account as I did them.. follow me there..  loveconstancephotography  
Here r the photos. 

This is day one of my photo challenge for June.
 I am also doing a business challenge each day as well but that's behind the scenes. So today's is keys. I LOVE skeleton keys. If these keys could talk. The history they could tell. ‪#‎loveconstancephotography‬ ‪#‎skeletonkeys‬‪#‎junephotodaychallenge‬

My best of show ribbons and a scarf from my mom.

June day 4 - reflection. 
This was a tough one. There was so much I could do but I felt like this,
this is a REFLECTION of my life right now.
I know I am missing important people but these were the quickest photos I could grab.
So if u aren't in these know I love ya.

June photo day 13 - BEGINS WITH 'M' so I am a little obsessed with mascara.
The top half of my eyelashes are white.

June photo day 22 - DELICIOUS
so I gave up soda over a year ago. But every once in awhile I have one.
 Nothing like the 2 to 3 a day I was having when I quit but maybe one every other week.
When I gave it up everyone said "oh you won't miss it and when u do drink one it will seem so sweet" well let me just say this. I still love them. And I still want them.
And it is DELICIOUS.‪#‎loveconstancephotography‬ ‪#‎junephotodaychallenge‬ ‪#‎pepsi‬ ‪#‎delicious‬‪#‎missitallthetime‬

June photo day 30 - STRIPES
(The last one finally) ;)
I looked all around for stripes and realized the most important STRIPES
 I know of r the STRIPES from the flag of the best country in the world.
Sure we have our issues and we have some work to do
but there is a reason everyone wants to come here. Freedom is a valuable thing.
And I am proud to be a citizen of the United states of America.‪#‎junephotodaychallenge‬ ‪#‎loveconstancephotography‬
