Playing with rings

So I was playing around tonight after looking at some wedding photos from some of my favorite wedding photographers Douglas Benedict and Joe Craig. I have the privilege of getting to work with these talented photographers during the wedding season and sometimes in the off season with other shoots...2008 I'm sure will promise to be no different than the previous season with crazy stories and great images to capture everyones memories.

Enjoy,

New Website Galleries up!

Hey everyone!
Check out my new galleries and home page...I heard a lot about my website over the last few months especially about my home page. Many wanted to see the images on my home page go slower so that they didn't miss any. I linked the home page show so when it finishes it immediately jumps to the new portfolio galleries as well.

Check them out and email me at kate@kateduffyphoto.com to let me know what you think of the new images.

hope you all had a happy Monday!

Be blessed,
Kate

ladybugs again!

Here's some more of our friendly house guests! I find them to be a lot of fun in avoidance of random boredom to see where I can find them hiding. These guys and gals (kind of hard to tell the difference) were sunning themselves on one of my windows. It's quite warm there and they seem to be drawn to the windows perhaps for that reason or just like me they like the light...or perhaps they knew they were on stage for a photo session. hahahah whatever the case...just thought you would enjoy seeing some more of my random friends (the ladybugs) that have taken over our home in a very minute way. :-) plus I'm still hoping that they are good luck!

Be blessed,

Kate

More Puppy Photos!

So I spent the afternoon with my good friends Sara and Paul and their two cute puppers...Snuggles & Daisy...quite energetic from the get go I think we got some really cute shots of them and the whole family together...it much reminded me of an extended baby/kid session that I do all day everyday with my other photography jobs...except this was more challenging as I'm finding most of the pets are...they selectively speak your language and understand phrases like, "walk, treat, and where's the squirrel or other dog" so bribes in many ways stand true as they do with small children in getting their pictures taken yet they seem to more instinctively ignore you when there is a bit of more interesting stuff going on in the yard or across the street.

Never the less it's still a fun job...and I'm so glad that photography is something that my life has chosen me for!

so enjoy! cause I know I do!

Attack of the Bugzillas!

So I thought it would be pretty cool to check out my ladybugs that have been in my new home since we moved in...so the other night I started to document them...I know I'm strange...but when you have the drive to shoot something with your camera...the hunger will find you almost anywhere...so here are a few of the ones that I caught...I'm hoping that they will bring me the good luck that they are supposed to in the year to come! Let's see what happens...I'll keep you posted!

Enjoy!, I know I will

Could you?

Can you lay your life down so a stranger can live?
Can you take what you need but take less than you give?
Can you close every day without the glory and fame?
Could you hold your head high when no one knows your name?

That’s how legends are made, at least that’s what they say.

We say goodbye, but never let go
We live we die, cuz you can’t save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to
show that you’re the kinda man who
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go

Can you lose everything you ever had planned?
Can you sit down again, and play another hand?
Could you risk every thing, for the chance of being alone?
Under pressure find the grace, or would you come undone.

That’s how legends are made, at least that’s what they say.

We say goodbye, but never let go
We live we die, cuz you can’t save every soul.
Gotta take every chance to
show that you’re the kinda man who
Will never look back, never look down,
and never let go


~For so many reasons from this week, this is such an important and meaningful song for me.
Could you lay your life down for a friend with the chance of losing everything? I hope those that are fighting
for us across seas and worlds apart from us remain safe and sound until it is their time to return home.
I sit here and watch the snow fall and wonder why things happen...but I have to continue to believe that
they happen for a reason! I am so blessed to have the friends that I do. To know that you are loved is one
of the greatest feelings in the world. I hope I can live my life truly inspired every day!!
