After completing the 365 project, I decided to dive head long into working more with portraits.  I have been working hard on educating myself and doing the necessities to start a business.  I am so excited to welcome Yellow Butterfly Photography into my life.

Why Yellow Butterfly Photography you ask?  Mamarazzi Adventures is the name you already had for your blog. Why the change?

I took a job last year at one of the big box store photography departments.  I was appalled at the way some photographers treated the kids they were photographing.  I heard one guy swearing right in front of a client.  Then another photographer almost put her hands on a little girl with special needs.  The mother looked at me thankfully when I pulled back the photographer before contact was made.  That photographer just didn't understand. I couldn't take it another minute. I knew I could run my own photography business, even though there was going to be a big learning curve.  I wasn't learning anything there so let me try.  

The name itself started a couple of years ago with my daughter attending a special needs preschool.  Before they were taught to recognize their names, they were given a symbol and a color. My daughter was.....wait for it.....a yellow butterfly. 

There it is....a birth of a company. 

My goal?  Every family deserves to have great photographs of their children.  Autism, developmental delays, Downs Syndrome, ADHD, physical disabilities and many other conditions do not exclude you from the needs of documenting your children's lives. 

Come one, come all. Yellow Butterfly Photography loves all children.  Thanks for checking in!

March 25, 2012 - Day 356


My neighbor was over commenting on the garden the other day in utter amazement. She loved how one day there was no flowers and the next it seemed like the peonies were ready to bloom. That gave me the idea to try my best at getting a time lapsed photo of one plant through the spring. Too late with the peonies, they are already over 2 feet tall and getting ready to bloom. My fantastic hosta on the other hand is just coming out. So here I go......

February 29, 2012 - Day 331!





This used to be a classic shot for me. A snap shot, not really caring what was in the background or how much mess is in the shot.
 
Now I feel like I have a better understanding about composition from this project. It may not be the most conventional 365 project, but it has served it purpose. I am learning so much!!!

Another cell phone shot for Jacki. These are Jack fruit. They are huge! Have you ever seen these before?

I find these every where!!! Driving me nuts because my daughter loves them so much. They are in the car, in her pockets, in her book bag.  This one was sitting innocently in the middle of a walkway until she spotted me taking its picture.
