If this person can make it work....so can I.  I love Post Secret! 

Dreamy Summer Polaroids

The days of summer never look better than they do when captured on a Polaroid.  

These are a few of the Polaroids that I have taken over the past few weeks.  They may be for sale in my ETSY shop soon!  

I'm also working on creating jewelry with my images. I haven't perfected it yet, but I'll let you know when I do.  

I think that I'm going to start adding a quote that I like to each new entry I post in my blog...starting today:

"You're off to great places! Today is your day!

Your mountain is waiting. So...get on your way!"

--Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go!

Oh my Blog!

I have added four new images to my ETSY page! 

I wish I had more time to blog about what is going on in my life!  Right now I'm working on marketing my ETSY shop and getting some portrait experience under my belt.  I have a few portrait sessions coming up to help build my portfolio.  I am really, really excited!

Other than that, in my spare time I'm just walking around my little neighborhood taking shots of the little forgotten nooks and crannies and flowers blooming. The weather has been just perfect...not too hot, too cold, too windy.  It makes me want to close my eyes and breathe deeply.  Man, I love California!

Kelsey

This is my cousin's new puppy Kelsey.  She's a Schnauzer and totally adorable.  I just had to share the portraits that I took of her on my vacation.  

I can't wait to get my pet photography business started!  It is so much fun!!

Vacation is over...boo

So, I just got back from my family vacation.  It was a blast and definitely not long enough.  I love being able to spend time with my family!  Here are a couple of images from the trip. 

My cousin's adorable new puppy, my mom and sister, and my dad.  I miss you guys already!

Ok, so vacation starts right now!

I know I said that I was "officially" on vacation yesterday.  But, anyone that knows me knows that I am a work-o'holic.  I can't help myself! 

Anyway....I'm so excited! In my first week on ETSY I've been included in two different treasuries! I'm totally flattered! One is by bock1194 and the other is by Analiese.  

Thank you both for the support!

Ok, now I'm on vacation :)

Vacation has begun!

I am officially starting my vacation early.  There is so much packing and laundry and cleaning to do before I leave on Friday, that if I don't start my vacation right now I'll never make it to my plane on time.

Happy summer everyone!! I'll be back on July 12th.

New Images on ETSY.

I just added some new images for sale in my ETSY shop.

I'm about to leave for my vacation so there won't be any new images for a while.  But, when I get back I will have a ton of new images! I'm bringing three cameras with me.  

Gosh...I hope that will be enough!

ETSY!!!

Mmmmm, Pears!

There is an adorable pear tree outside of my office window that is growing these little baby pears.  They are so cute I couldn't resist snapping a few shots of them before they are full grown!  

These pears are the picture of summer...

Meanwhile my ETSY site is coming along nicely.  I'm almost ready to start listing my images for sale.  These pear images will also be for sale soon!  

I Love Polaroids

I took a trip down to my local photography shop a couple of days ago to have some film processed and to buy some supplies.  When I asked for a box of Polaroids the salesman pointed to a shelf where there were only five boxes.  He said, "That's all we have left and we won't be getting any more." 

I couldn't believe it! I had to restrain myself from buying up all of the boxes right then and there! I bought two boxes, wishing that I could take them all home with me, and left a little heartbroken.  

I have a great Polaroid Land Camera and after the next 40 exposures I might not ever be able to use it again! It makes me so sad that Polaroids are soon going to become extinct.  

I came across a website devoted to this very subject. Save Polaroids is a great resource for the latest news on Polaroids and what you can do to help save them. 

Quick! Somebody do something!

My First Blog Experience

Hello Everyone!

The time has come for me to venture out from the safety of my normal life.  I am throwing caution to the wind and starting two businesses! It's going to be challenging and it is definitely very scary, but I think it is going to be great!

Sara Norris Photography, is going to be a two part business.  It will be part portraiture business specializing in photographing pets and children and part fine art photography. My fine art images will be for sale online at saranorris.etsy.com very soon!

It will be a little while before I am ready to create a website for my portraiture work, so I will be using this blog as an alternative for showing my work to the world.

I had my first photoshoot at the beach this past weekend with Mikayla and Abby (the dog).  All was going well until the biggest wave I have ever seen washed up on the shore drowning all of our stuff and my cell phone! I am so glad that my camera didn't get washed away! But, despite getting drenched, I was still able to get some great shots! 

Thank you to Neil, Tina, Mikayla and Abby!

I am so excited to FINALLY be pursuing my longtime dream of becoming a full time photographer. Wish me luck!  

Until next time...
