I've had a social media break and I'm happy to be back blogging! 

I attended a photography conference in early January in San Antonio, Texas. 

It was amazing! 

I met some incredible people and I'm so excited to improve my craft and teach you what I'm learning. 

Here are a couple of shots of my daughter when the weather was nice and cold! 

Enjoy!

Wordless Wednesday: Priorities and a Trip to France

by Mary Denman     @MaryDenman

In recent years, being a multi-tasker has been the buzz. 

Maybe at one point, I thought I could do that. But not so much any more. 

I've been trying to learn how to pare down and focus better. With fewer distractions. 

But as a home schooling mom with 3 kids still at home, that's been hard for me to do. 

Wordless Wednesday: Photos from the Conference

by Mary Denman    @MaryDenman

Welcome to Wordless Wednesday!

Last week, I was the conference photographer for Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference. (Yes, it's a mouthful!) 

In addition, I took head shots for almost 40 clients. 

As a result, I have a TON of photos to go through and deliver.

I think it's about 2,278,621 shots, more or less.......   ;)

I will be back for Wordless Wednesday on June 8 and then photo tips for Friday, June 10th. 

Enjoy these shots from the conference and I'll see you next week!

I'm back from my little break! 

While I'm still pretty slow to get around as the tendon and my heel continue to heal, I did get out with hubby to get a few shots! 
Not even surgery can keep me from my camera! 

This Friday's Photo Tip will be about Golden Hour. 
This one tip alone can change your photography.

After having surgery a couple of weeks on my Achilles Tendon, I'm headed to the Dr. on Wednesday morning to see it I'm ready to get out of my cast and into a boot!  

But in the meantime, even though I can use my arms fine, it seems my body still needs a lot of sleep. My brain is muddled and I'm needing naps.

So, I'm taking a quick blogging break until April 11th or 13th. 

I'll be back with Monday's Musings, Wordless Wednesday, and Photo Tips on Fridays. 

However, I will be hanging out on Instagram and Twitter until then!  

Here's another view from my sofa.

This is my back yard. I can't believe how much the leaves have started turning green!

To my friends in the Southern Hemisphere, I look forward your fall colors! 

Have a great day everyone and I'll see you soon!

Well, today's post is about my life from my sofa while I'm off my foot for a couple weeks after Achilles Tendon surgery. 
I've had a couple of friends come by.....
I got some flowers....
I have plenty of dark chocolate...
And my pets are always nearby...

Life is good...even from my sofa!

Prior week's tip:     3 Tips for Taking Clear Action Shots

Last week's tip:    Capturing Motion in your Action Shots

So, I had my Achilles Tendon surgery on Monday... 

It was just supposed to be arthroscopic, 2 or 3 small holes and a fairly descent recovery. 

Well, being me, it didn't turn out that way. 

He had to do the open procedure which is way more painful and a harder recovery. Bummer. 

Anyway, I'm just thankful I'm finally at a place I can start recovering. 

So, I hope to stay on track with blogging but it's going to be a challenge with amount of sleeping I'll be doing. :)

I do promise to read all comments! 

Anyway, Happy Wordless Wednesday!
