It doesn't take a glamorous city backdrop, size zero waist, or designer duds to make a superstar. Sometimes all you need is a little imagination, a wicked sense of humor, and the willingness to let loose for a few hours. A boom box here and a tricycle there never really hurts either! Why be bored with bulky equipment, camera settings, and practiced poses when there's fun to be had? My goal is to capture colorful characters in even more colorful environments. You might say I'm a little color obsessed but, really, who wants to live in a black and white world?
I aim for originality and spunk. It might mean decking you out in elaborate costumes and fantastical make-up or it could be as simple as catching a sly, sideways smile when you least expect it. Life is full of moments to be collected on memory cards, if you ask me. Instant Fame Photography is all about making you the star you've always known yourself to be. And this blog is where you'll first shine. Below you'll find some of my best images from my brightest small town stars. Fame needs fans so don't forget to add your two cents!

Happy Thanksgiving!
November 27, 2008 Randomness
| Hey gobblers! My day was marvelous... and now I get to stuff the blog with yummy photos! |
Prior to dinner my grandfather suggested we think about what we were thankful for. So before we over-decorated
our plates, we went around the table listing our blessings following in prayer. Since I was the last in line I pretty much got
the short end of the stick (rule: we weren't allowed to say anything someone else mentioned). All the obvious blessings
were taken, so I was forced to pull out a sucker move... this was my blessing: "I am beyond thankful for my photogenic family
that will gladly participate in Indian photos following our delicious meal!" A few giggles came out & eyes rolled around...
my brother insisted that I put the camera up so he could eat in private, and refused to take the photo after dinner...
but look-a-here, god was on my side, check out my beautiful Indian tribe...

You're probably wondering about the random photo in the bottom left corner of the series... that is a photo of my
invisible sister, Tiffany. She's in Miami, FL this Thanksgiving and we miss her very much! Luckily, she'll be flying
home for Christmas next month & perhaps we'll do an Elfy series! :)
|
yay!! my family is fully camera trained! :)
Feeling left out? Well, If you really enjoy the photos... feel free to send me your "i want to join the family' application!
We're always accepting new members! Seriously-- we love strangers! Note: you must be willing to lose at horseshoes---
Me and Uncle Chris officially have the game on lock and refuse to have it any other way! :) |

November 22, 2008 Family
I spent Wednesday photographing my long lost friend, Heath... along with Joey & their adorable puppy, Miss Anna-Belle!
We've talked about Christmas cards for several years now, so I'm thrilled that we finally made this whole photo shoot thing happen! :)
Here are a few sneak peeks of my favorite snaps... |
| I'm absolutely crazy about this one!! :) |
| You'd have to ask Heath what was so funny! *giggles* Looks like little Anna-Belle knows! :) |
| Anna-Belle wants to be a doggie model! |

motion blurrrrr
November 18, 2008 Randomness
| I read an awesome article about motion blur and decided I'd go outside & give it a go! It was way harder than I ever imagined, but luckily (after about 30 shots) I got this one! I really like it and I'm proud of myself for following directions, so I decided I'd share! I'll be practicing some more tomorrow! :) |
