Shooting for fun

One of my goals is to start shooting more for fun. Since I have become a professional photographer I have noticed that I hardly shoot for myself anymore. Lately I have had opportunities to take lots of pictures of flowers. It is Spring afterall.

These first few flower pictures were taken at the Duke Gardens when I was visiting my sister in Durham, NC.













This picture my sister Jennifer took with my camera. She took 3 pictures of these flowers and they were my favorite three that were taken with my camera all day. She definitely has an eye for photographing flowers!









These next several pictures are from the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. I recently went there with my parents, sister, brother-in-law and fiance.

This one hurt my eyes a little when I was looking at it on my big computer screen.




I couldn't resist getting a flower/ring shot so I used my engagement ring.




I really liked these purple poofy flowers, they were my favorite.




And here is "America's Castle", the Biltmore.














I feel like these next two should go on the cover of a Fairy Tale book.














Here's (two of) my boys at a park close to our house.




This lily is in my front yard :)
