As an artist I have worked very hard to find my style, everyone has a style but sometimes it takes awhile to recoginize it.  The style I love for my photographs is for them to look crisp, clean and modern.  It is a style I use throughout my life including how I dress and how I decorate.  Every once in a while though I like to step outside my style and try something different and fun!  Such was the case a couple weeks ago when I spotted this really cool vintage firetruck parked at the race track!  I already knew I wanted to pull the color and texture out on...

It was another race weekend this past weekend. For more pictures of the race track check out my husband's race blog at www.jeffcoat23.com/blog. Most race weekends entail the guys going off to the track Saturday and my mother in law, niece and myself hanging out at the campground for the day. This weekend I accompanied my niece Cara to the playground to take pictures of her. I think she gets her picture taken a lot because she is so cute, she is very comfortable in front of the camera and loves to ham it up and play model! Here are some pics I took of her that I r...

My husband races a 4cyl Mustang at the Dillon Motor Speedway in Dillon, SC. We live in Virginia, northern Virginia at that. So about every other weekend or so we drive the 5.5 hours to the border of NC and SC so he can race. He loves it, it is his passion. I always take my camera with me when we go and I take pictures of him practicing on the track. The good thing for him is that he can look at the pictures I take and it tells him stuff about the car and what adjustments he needs to make. So I get to feel important and like a contributing member of his pit... Read more..]]> My husband races a 4cyl Mustang at the Dillon Motor Speedway in Dillon, SC.

So I get to feel important and like a contributing member of his pit crew These are some pics of just the goings on at the track and of course my husband and his race car! I used natural light for all of them, mainly because I left my flash on the other side of the track up in the truck. But I ended up really liking the quality of light in the photos so it all worked out! Oh and he finished in second place!
