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!

me to hang out with this family.  I just love them.  Not only are they incredibly easy to photograph (because how could they not be?), but also they are just really nice, gracious, thoughtful and kind of funny! I could hang out and talk to Janice forever because she is just so down to earth, and because I love her love of photographs.  She has them beautifully displayed all over the house and it just makes me so happy to see some of my images in the most beautiful frames she has scoured the world to find.  It so wonderful to see someone actually do something with their images, instead of just, oh, I dunno, leaving them on their hard drive and risk losing them to hard drive failure… or printing them and never hanging them but instead leaving them in the white Millers boxes that litter the house.  Someday, someday.

I am doing a small sneak peak with no “family” shots because I am not sure which will be “the shot” for the cards this year and I’d hate to ruin the surprise for anyone who might peak here and see it before it hits the mailbox.

So for this one, I positioned a massive exhaust fan right at my feet and turned it on right before I started shooting… I am KIDDING.  It’s crazy, but it’s true, Janice’s hair just does this when I photograph her.  It’s simply phenomenal.  Now if only I could find a way to have low-lit amber backlighting follow me around so I’d always look sunkissed and hazy (and 20 lbs thinner).

I just love this one as well.

I really need to stop teasing this kid.  But he’s a really good sport.
