Featured Photographers | January 2013

In 2013 I have decided to try new things, start new traditions, and open my arms to new people, peers, and friends! One NEW idea I have decided to try, is to once a month give fellow photographers who follow my Facebook page a chance to be featured on my blog! The first week of each month I will post on my photography Facebook page a place for you to tag your business page! The first 10 photographers to tag your business page will be guaranteed one of your photos featured on my "Featured Photographers" blog for that month! Be sure that your images are watermarked, as I will be looking through each of the 10 photographers page and picking out one of my favorite photos! That photo will be posted along with a link to your Facebook business page! This month I was amazed to find so many fellow photographers interested in participating! I had so much fun going through each of your pages and taking a deeper look into your work and getting a feel for your style and the type of photography you each enjoy shooting! :) I hope everyone enjoys this post and enjoys admiring great work by great photographers! If you take a minute to look at this blog post and look through the photos, please take a minute to LIKE all of the photographers business pages! :) - Aftyn Marie Photography Facebook page

New year! - New things!

The LAST day of 2012 we were gifted with one of the prettiest snow falls I have seen in a long time! I was so eager to get out of the house and capture it! I spent that afternoon with my little guy ZOU and our awesome neighbors and their little pup Maverick! We went out to a field by our apartments and played in the snow like we were little kids again. Us moms sat back and built a snow man and watched Matt snowboard and then run around and play fetch with the dogs! I asked if they wanted to run home and change clothes and get dolled up and meet me back outside for a quick snow-fall photo session! Janelle couldn't get ready quick enough, whereas Matt could have come up with 10 things he'd rather go do! BUT, they agreed and we ventured out! 

Needless to say we got some GREAT shots that day and I couldn't be more happy


THEN....

I added a few of my photos from their photo session to the Confessions of a Prop Junkie Facebook page to enter into their weekly themed photo contest! That weeks theme was Valentine Sessions & Kissing Booths! I felt that these images couldn't have been a better fit, so I sent them in! GUESS WHAT?! They picked MY picture to feature in their blog for that weeks theme!!! I about peed my pants I was SO excited!! Let's just say, I got MORE HAPPY! PLEASE take a minute to go visit this blog and check it out, along with all the other amazing talent that was featured!
