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!

July 7, 2009

As I’ve pretty much broadcasted everywhere, my babies had their birthday’s this week/weekend.  The neat thing about my kid’s “birth” day is that they were both born on the first Monday of July just after 5AM.  Christofer was six days early, Janey eleven.  I love that their birthday’s are so close together, that they are exactly two years apart, that they are a little boy and a little girl.  I am so eternally grateful that I have these two children that most of the time I am actually nauseous when I think of them, so sick to my stomach that I won’t be able to keep them safe, so terrified that I love them just so much.  Then one of them screams hysterically and/or won’t nap and then I sort of snap out of it for a minute.  But still, I’d take sleepless nights and teething and temper tantrums over not having them any minute of my life.

So here are a few shots of Christofer from the weekend and Janey from this afternoon.  I edited these on my laptop, so for all I know, they are green, red, blown out and everything else bad.  The ones inside today are ridiculously high ISO and a tungsten bulb and so the color is wonky and noisy so I just decided to make it more so.  So that’s my disclaimer, especially if I go upstairs and look on my desktop and freak.  Now I don’t have to, we all know they are shot.

[btw, how ADORABLE is that dress?  A gift from some very lovely friends, I believe from Shock Kids in Westhampton Beach... I knew the minute I opened the package last year she'd wear it for just a minute on her birthday!]

Here’s the boy, saying he’s “free” and holding up four fingers.
