I had always wanted to be a photographer even when I was little. I remember going to summer camp and taking rolls and rolls of film and always wishing I had more. My father was quite thankful when they came out with digital cameras. Once I was married and we had our first little girl, my camera and I became quite close. I would practice and read manuals and tutorials on the web all of the time. Anything I could get my hands on I would study. I am not a photography graduate but I have learned so much just by trial and error. I am still learning everyday and trying to just be myself. It is so easy to see what others are doing and try to re-create images because they are so cool but I am over that. I want to create images that I’m proud of and that no one else has thought of. I am honored to be apart of a world with such talented people and I want to be better everyday. I am blessed.
Welcome to our Blog!
Back in the day, before Windmills, we were just two friends in love with our cameras. The more we pursued our new hobby the more excited we became at the thought of our own business. Thus began the quest for a name. To make you laugh, here are some of the names that were in the running: (note, a few of these were submitted by our "oh, so funny" family) Red Door Photography (no, not the perfume), Back Porch Photography (named after the famous salad), Creative Photos (wow, that was creative), Picture This (what are we picturing exactly?), Photo-Baggins (yes, our husbands are Lord of the Rings fanatics), and the one name that we actually call ourselves is...(drumroll please) Two Chicks and a Click!!! We know, we know, so where did Windmills come from? Well, we are both crazy about all things antique, our southern heritage, home grown veggies, and the simplicity of country living and we think the Windmill symbolizes all of these things. So now you know! Our style is fun, laid back, and real! We want you to feel at home with us and un-wind with Windmills.
