Personal Projects -- Scottsboro Alabama lifestyle photographer

If you didn't know already, I'm a homeschooling mama -- on top of being a pro photographer -- and lemme tell ya, this last semester of school was a real doozie!  My girls have kept me on my toes, with giving and grading history quizzes and science tests, carting them here and there for dance classes and library volunteering, even the random and assorted sick day.  Phew, I'm pooped!

But tucked amid all of that, I've made time to express myself, and it's been just glorious!  The artist in me has made herself known more than a time or two.  Check out some of my personal (non client commissioned) work!  And let me know which one is your favorite -- I'd love to hear from you.

O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown!
The courtier's, soldier's, scholar's, eye, tongue, sword;
The expectancy and rose of the fair state,
The glass of fashion and the mould of form,
The observed of all observers, quite, quite down!
And I, of ladies most deject and wretched,
That suck'd the honey of his music vows,
Now see that noble and most sovereign reason,
Like sweet bells jangled out of tune, and harsh;
That unmatch'd form and feature of blown youth
Blasted with ecstasy: O, woe is me,
To have seen what I have seen, see what I see!

~ Ophelia, Shakespeare's "Hamlet" (Act 3 Scene 1)
