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!

November 23, 2009

I had a really awesome Saturday.  Owen was a rock star and handled the kiddos all day while I shot three sessions.  Usually I am totally overwhelmed shooting three sessions and I am pretty blurry eyed by the end of the day, but for some reason, it was easy!  Must be because I was looking at such beautiful people all day long.  Yes, not to disappoint, I seemed to have stumbled upon yet another crop of beauties, pretty people, scrumptious children, what-to-wear examples… you know the drill.

I met up with Deb first.  I am so glad we were able to work it out with our schedules, considering the disaster that my schedule is.   Deb is new to town and I was really excited to shoot these for her.  I know it can be so hard being far away from your homegirls, especially around the holidays.  You meet people, but it’s not like you know them well enough that you can just stop by their house, dump your kids, open their fridge and pour yourself some wine… (except that I think I did that the first day I even went to Stephanie’s house, but that’s another story).   And even though I know Deb has met a ton of girls, it’s still not quite home for her yet.  So I am hoping that by showing her these images, she’ll be a little more excited about her transition up here and will feel just a little bit more like it’s home when she sees them on her walls.

Sophie and Mia are so pretty, and they had on the cutest outfits, and they were really well behaved.  What is it with everyone’s kids being so well behaved and mine just seem to get better and better at throwing tantrums?   We ventured a little further back than I normally go and I absolutely LOVE the images of the girls in their dress up clothes in front of the country estate… it just seemed to work so well!

Enjoy!
