I want everyone to meet my beautiful friend Emily. Both of our husbands are Marines, OohRah! They went to school together, have the same job, and are both currently deployed. So Yes, we became good friend really quick. Here are some pictures we did for her Marine. She is just gorgeous, and I know her Marine thinks so too!

This gorgeous couple was so easy to photograph. Completely adorable, don't you think? And such a great location. I am still getting familiar with the area, but I fell in love, as well as feared for my life the whole time we were shooting.

Several weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph a party put on by Party On! Designs. The table set ups were amazing, and simply the cutest. Anyone looking to throw a party check out her Etsy Shop. And check out the feature too!

New Blog Design

2011-06-09T09:09:00.000-07:00

I am so excited to present my new Blog Design. Courtesy of Utterly Chaotic Designs. Brea is amazing, and very easy to work with. I feel like I was very demanding on the specifics of how I wanted my blog to look like, and she worked with me through every little detail. I recommend her to anyone looking at getting a blog makeover, she will not disappoint you.

Nathan and Lauren

Now that my blog is up and running, I am going to be back tracking and posting some of the work I have been doing for the past couple of months. So if you 'like' my Facebook page some of these images may be familiar. Any Hoo...

This couple are good friends of ours. Nathan has spent over a year working with my husband in training, and now in the same unit together. They are both currently deployed. I am very proud of our service men! And I can't stress the appreciation I have for them and their families who support them, by holding down the fort while they are away. Here are some of my favorites from that day.

BOY! Do I have a LOT of catching up to do!!!

2010-12-11T17:36:00.000-08:00

This past few month has been a crazy one. With the move to North Carolina, and the settling in, and all the dirty work in between I don't even know where to begin... All in all, we are here, we are adjusting, and are coming to really like it here! I miss all the wonderful people in Las Vegas, all the support I had from family, and friends with my Photography. All I can say is, Thank you all so very much... And now that I have to start all over with none of that immediate support... things are coming a lot slower then before, but I am determined to get things going!!! I had several photo shoots before I left home and haven't had the chance to blog about them so this will be one of my longest post yet... Get ready for it!!!

This was the most cutest family to photograph! These boys are so adorable... And GREAT little kid models! Sometimes photographing children can be a nightmare, that I fear most times when I get the chance to do so, but these kiddos were troopers and we were able to get some great pictures of this cute little family!

Don't they have the most handsome eyes! I didn't do any retouching with them either!!!

Adorable couple...!!!

Can I get a "YEEE HAWW!!!"

2010-09-20T23:37:00.000-07:00

I had the chance to photograph this family, and can I say it was a blast! These boys are hilarious! I'm surprised I got a decent picture of these goof balls! But it was a lot of fun and their location was AMAZING. The lighting wasn't perfect, so this was a new challenge and experience for me, but I think I made it work... which is what a photographer is suppose to do!

About Me

2010-08-24T17:14:00.000-07:00

Meet the eyes behind the camera.

This is ME, Christina Blood. I am a lover of food. I like to crochet, but never seem to have time to do it. I LOVE to sleep, I nap whenever I can. According to my family, I am OCD. But I find that with the more children I have I am slow being cure of the disease. I play the Piano, and Violin, but not as much as I would like, I blame it on being a mother, I think that is a fair excuse ;-P. My favorite colors are mustard yellows, grays, fushia pinks, and teals, but don't hold that to me, that can change pretty quickly. I wish I was into fashion. I love seeing people all dressed up and cute. And wish I took the time to look that good! I keep telling myself, "One day... hummm." But in the end, I spend most my days in a t-shirt, and my husbands basketball shorts. Gorgeous, right? Ha! I am in LOVE with photography, it brings me so much joy creating beautiful images for those who I have served already. I am excited for what lies ahead, and hope to only grow to be a better photographer.

I have the MOST beautiful, and handsome children, in this world. They definitely take the better of both of us! I enjoying being their mother, it has been the best gift my Father in Heaven has given me, thus far. I am continually learn for them. They are so loving and forgiving, I truly try to be like them everyday. They keep me busy, and surprise me daily with the thing they are learning, even when I think they aren't listening.

I have to save one of the best for last, and say, "I HAVE THE BEST HUSBAND IN THIS WORLD". I believe, and hope that every wife should be able say this. He is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. I thank my Heavenly Father daily for sending him to me. He is my best friend, and brings so much joy and happiness into our lives. He is an amazing father to our children, and they just love him to death! I think one of the most attractive thing in a man in the ability to love, and care for children. He definitely lives up to that, making him the most attractive man on this planet, in my eyes. He currently serves in the United States Marine Corp. Making me a Marine wife. He is currently deployed with a Marine Expeditionary Unit. I am so proud of him, and can't wait for his safe return home to us.

This is ME!

Thanks for stopping by.

I am currently serving eastern North Carolina, Jacksonville, and surrounding coastal cities and towns.
