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!

In the spirit of dogs, and my family NOT getting one this week, I decided to name my next two blog posts after the lovely dogs who brought their owners to me last Saturday.  Now usually I don’t double blog, but I am today because I fear that I might never get to these blog posts otherwise.  I went from a ridiculously hectic week right into Memorial Day weekend to a jam-packed next week mentoring an old friend, running workshops and my OWN family session next weekend!  I thought perhaps I could also double blog because not only did both families come with their four legged friends, but apparently the two legged friends are friends as well!  [that make sense?  no... sometimes my jokes fall flat].

We had a great day at Elm Bank and I had a blast with these guys.  It was a fun challenge to shoot two different sessions and not just replicate one after the other.  I really like people to have different, and unique sessions.  The kids were great and I really loved getting to know them all.  I love watching how kids interact with each other and I love looking back at the images and seeing how the kids resemble their parents in not only features, but affectations, smiles, glances.  I also love developing connections, finding out how parents met, figuring out what makes them work as a family.

What I netted out with these two families is that good parents make good kids.  Plain and simple.  So that’s my lesson for the day.

Enjoy the weekend.
