Amy Doerring Photography

Well sort of…  After two weeks of friends visiting, a few senior shoots thrown in, a very quick pack and then a week on vacation, I’m home.   I can always find a church or two to photograph on vacation.  Here is one church where the light was dancing….

I’m happy to say that those pics were taken with my ‘baby’ camera, a Canon G9 (I can still set shutter speed and ap but no add on lens).   For the first vacation in many years I did not lug my real camera along.   At times I looked with envy at cameras along the way but most times I was happy that my camera was just a wee one hanging from my neck.  It really isn’t the camera, well a good lens helps, but more the eye.  I’m not sure anyone else in my group saw the light I saw in the church.   My little camera did and did ok.

I’m adjusting and getting back into it, I’ve got to!  Two weeks of great friends and family, I’m feeling great!

david is fighting his second major battle with a grade 4 brain tumor.  This diagnosis was in November of 2008 and he just keeps fighting.   I’m not sure how he does it and am always amazed by his strength and attitude.  He’ll be in Des Moines with a new album release and some new stories to tell. 

I am blessed and lucky to have been photographing david for over 7 years and some crazy number like 17 CDs. 

I talked to two people just this week who told me that david’s music has helped them as they were fighting something, not necessarily cancer.  Made my day!

Another of my favorite things!

I hope you are printing your digital pictures.  Please tell me that you are!!!  It is so easy to take pictures but then never do anything with them.  I’m a little bit guilty of  that too.

When my boys were babies I started using this photo album.  I liked it because I could write under the picture and the best was that is could hold six images per page and when opened you could see twelve pictures.   Since I knew I was going to have many albums, space was an issue and getting that many pics on a page and fitting deep on my shelf was perfect!   This is the only album I have, I like them alot!!

I have a wholesale account with the vendor.   A client and I need a bunch of albums so I’ll be placing an order soon, if you are interested in pricing, let me know.  They are very resonable and they’ll make your life so easy!!!!
