The blog has moved...

You've reached my old blog... In order to simplify my blog, my portfolio and my life, I combined my blog and site into one. Now you can find my "blog" entries on my Recent Work page. You can also view my portfolio, link to slideshows and client information, and locate anything else you might need all in one place.

This blog contains old session blog posts, and my failed 2011 attempt at "One Image a Day" project in which I force myself to shoot something each day, personal or professional, as a challenge to myself. I'd love to hear what you think of the images as they might slightly stray from the norm. We'll see if I can pick it up for 2012!

This is so big for me… you know how I hate posed shots of everyone looking at the camera… and how I hate them 10,000 times more when I am in them. But for the sake of my children, I need to be in a few shots with them. It’s also good for me to see how I actually look, then to liquify and clone the hell out of me and see how great I COULD look… it keeps me on track to lose the last 20 lbs that I’ve been carrying around since I got married and had Christofer (the Janey weight is finally gone). So here we are, somewhere between real and photoshopped perfection (I had to remove the nose job and highlight fix I’d given myself… and the only way I could make myself skinner was to make Christofer or Janey look fatter, and really, that’s not fair).

I had a wonderful Mother’s Day and am working on finding my zen, because I temporarily lost it… it’s somewhere with my checkbook, my other earing and 4 of Christofer’s socks. And I need to again remind myself that I have a wonderfully full and happy life and that day jobs, twenty pounds and potty training are all part of the journey.

So thanks to my family for a great day.
