Marcum Family...

I had so much fun with this family...Tyler was full of energy and kept me on the go...and little Ryleigh was just sweet as could be. I hope you enjoy the sneak peak...

Fear & Hope...a personal note

In the past 2 weeks my family has been hit with some pretty hard times. I can't go into all of it right now..but as many of you know I don't keep things to myself for very long !!!

All I can say is I have had so much fear and stress in the past 2 weeks that I honestly don't know how much more I can take.  I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and that God will provide for us all. I have put in lots of prayer and I know that HE will show us the way !!!

So many times we get into a hard spot...feel backed into a corner, like there is no hope. No matter what our problems are, if they are work, family, money, whatever the issue.....Be strong and know that there is always hope...there is always an answer. Just be looking for it...it will come.

Little Sneak Peak !!!

It was so nice to get out in the great weather...sunny & warm.....while it lasted !!! Now it's cold and spitting snow AGAIN...so I thought I would post a few images from this fun session I did a few days ago. Thanks so much you guys for being such a blast.  Hope you enjoy !!!

Marketing...

It's been some crazy weather here in Murray, Kentucky this past month. LOTS of snow !!! We got about 6 more inches last night, yuck !!! Thankfully I have been busy getting ready for the home show this weekend and haven't had time to get sad over the snow. I did see a little bit of sunshine today, so I'm happy. I wanted to share one of the items I'll have displaying at the booth this weekend. They are 10x10 Canvas Thinwraps.  All I can say is I LOVE these.  I had 3 printed up of my kids so I can use them in my home as well as in marketing...pretty smart I thought.  So here ya go...hope you like them as well as I do. Be sure to stop by the booth and sign up to win some GREAT prizes. I'll be doing a drawing each day of the home show. Become a FAN of Sunnydaze Photography on facebook and you'll have a chance to win a HUGE prize on Tuesday.  Be sure if you come by the booth to say HI, I'll be there all weekend.

Winter & Sun...

For those of you that do not know me personally...I HATE winter time !!!

My fav time of year is fall. I love the colors, the weather, and the smells. It's funny to think about because I adore the beach, could stay on the beach all day everyday...but I hate the heat. Go figure !!  Pretty much anytime between April - November I'm happy. I got to thinking about that today and wondered why???  My answer is the sun... I have a good friend that on really sunny days I call her just to say "the sun is out take a deep breath and enjoy it"...that says a lot.

Like most people I have bad days...days that nothing seems to go right. Like I can't get my groove going or something. It never fails...those days are days that it's cloudy or rainy or snowy blah days...give me a bright sunny day and I'M ON !!!  Sunshine makes me happy. It brings peace to my crazy world. 

Photography, like the sun, makes me calm......I can leave my house with clothes ready to be folded or put away, kids... well, being kids and a dog barking at nothing but the air so it seems and go do a session and be at peace with everything around me.  So many times I have parents that are stressed to the max because thier kids are running around and playing and not sitting still...I don't want them to just sit still...I want them to play and run and be a kid...be themselves !!! Being able to capture that child being themself is so rewarding to me. I want them to feel comfy enough with me around to just be...as adults we sometimes lose that ability to just be..to be silly, or laugh out loud, or roll in the dirt and get dirty...it's OK !!!

So the next time the sun is out...get outside and enjoy it...Go outside and take a deep breath and just BE !!!
