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!

That specifically refers to one of my lenses.  If you know me, current or past client, you know that occasionally my lenses act up.  Or maybe it’s my camera.  It’s happened a lot this year, and though it’s frustrating, I’ve learned to shoot around it for the most part… and Canon promises me they will help me, and that’s all I can ask for.  my 85 1.2L is my very favorite lens. And when this lens is good, it’s very, very good.  It creates the most amazing “bokeh” (the blurry background) and it facilitates the creamiest of skin tones.  It’s all around lovely.  If it’s cured of it’s ailments this week at Canon, it will resume it’s place next to me in bed {in between Owen, right next to Janey}.

Same about being very, very good can apply to River Road.  Sometimes I shoot there and the light is so crazy bright and I am just perplexed about how wrangle everyone somewhere softer.  Usually it works out just fine.  But sometimes I show up there and the street is my oyster and every single spot I stop in is just lovely, yummy, surreal with light.

So meeting up with Brooke and her family was one of those nights, it was all good, so it was all very, very good.  What an awesomely beautiful family.  And nice.  Because once again, I fell just a little bit in love with my clients.  So here are just a few as I catch up on editing, orders and blog posts.
