I have a new blog I have put together to showcase some of my photography, photos, post reviews on products from Nikon, Nikkor lenses, accessories for cameras and tips on using Lightroom 5 and other photography talk=).  I am also a member of Clickin Moms and have a instagram account full of photos of my life, photos and work.  Please check out my new blog and be sure to follow it.  Also if you are a fellow photographer I would love to connect with others for help, tips and knowledge.  Thank you and below are some photos I have taken on my vacation.

Be sure to enter my Crack Hair sample contest also, three prizes will be given away later this week.


Happy Snapping

Fontana Lake in North Carolina, we did a speed boat ride.  It was a fun time=)  


View on drive from Fontana Lake to Fontana Dam


Hubby's favorite part of the day adventures, Fontana Dam, Natural electricity.  Amazing Dam and a lot of amazing views.  Highly recommend this as a must see when you visit NC






Hubby had me take a ton of photos of the Fontana Dam, I have more on my instagram and photo blog.


We stumbled upon an amazing quiet road of the paved path inside of the National Park while driving.  Trying to find some Bears but no luck so far this trip.  Last year we saw bears while hiking to Laurel Falls and at Cade's Cove in TN at the Smoky Mountain National Park

North Carolina, in pixels:). Photos of Smoky Mountains

Here are a few photos I took today, some with my iPhone and a few with my Nikon. Loving the photo opportunities here in good old mother nature. There is nothing greater than God's creations:).

We went to the Smoky mountain National Park by Cherokee in North Carolina today, went hiking and climbed 165 steps to the bridge to view the Mingo Falls:). We also hiked to a small old farm area with crops, gardens and old cabins. Got some great photos of pigs, chickens, the waterfall and river/stream.

It is just so gorgeous words can't describe. Our cabin is like a dream, at the top of a mountain off a gravel steep road. It is three levels, with plenty of room for our family of four. My girls are having a great time:). They love the outdoors and so do I, I was born in New Hampshire and lived in Maine, have a lot of family in northern states so to me this is a dream.

I have big dreams to own a vacation home and one day move to this area. I love Florida and my hubby loves his job. I hope to pursue photography and have a job I am passionate about. I love it, my family cracks jokes calling me the paparazzi or mamarazzi lol. I will take photos of anything and everything:). I am trying to get the lighting down and different shutter speeds, background effects and more.

I like to educate myself and practice a lot, I believe practicing makes perfect and for me it's fun to practice. I love taking photos of my children:). They are the best to me and my heart. In life family is so important and photography allows us to capture all those special moments as keepsakes and memories. Amazing. Sometimes a simple photo takes my breath away and that is what inspires me:).

Enjoy my photos and love to hear feed back and comments. These have not been edited or touched up at all, only feature I have used is some I placed a watermark and one I used antique filter.

Everyone have a fabulous week:). Enjoy God's creations and mother nature it is summer, so much time to enjoy life.

Some photos

Here are a few photos I have taken, haven't gotten a chance to edit any in my light room 5 software, which I love:). I have a Nikon camera and recently got a couple new lenses. Been saying I would post some photos but I never really get on my computer to upload. These ones I had transferred from camera to phone with a cool wifi gadget that the Nikon camera, some of them come with or I think you can buy after market as well:).

Enjoy photos and have a wonderful weekend. This next week will be a lot of photos coming since I am officially on vacation:).
