Shot of Whimsy Photography

Unique photographs of your treasured memories

Welcome!

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my blog!

A little bit about myself? Hmmm. Well, I have a wonderful husband and three silly little boys and I can honestly say my life is always fun and never ever boring!!

As for becoming a photographer, I knew when I was a very little tot that I wanted to be able to take pictures for my "job" when I grew up. Well, that and and I wanted to be a horse...thank GOODNESS that never happened. LUCKILY I have been able to turn my first passion into a pretty great little business and I thank my lucky stars (and my family) for that wonderful dream come true every day of my life.

I love to watch people smile and enjoy capturing their emotions and memories on film to share with their families and loved ones. There's no better job I could ever dream of.

Thank you again for dropping by and hope to hear from you in my comments so that I can learn even more about my job.

Heather - WOW Everybody! Beautiful COMMENTS! I had so much fun with Tina when she took these pics (I’m the bride by the way)!! What she didn’t post was the pic of Tina standing on a bench, my mom holding on to her, keeping her from falling backwards, my friend holding up one screen and her mom holding up another screen–I took the camera and took the pic from MY point of view! Hilarious! Tina is just fabulous. I can’t wait for another exciting point in my life where I need her to document!! Thanks Tina!!!
