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!

Not really.  I just had to name it that for a reason.  They know why.

I met Stephen and Jill two weeks ago.  It was again the perfect example of a reschedule…reschedules just always work out because sessions are always held exactly when they should be, as part of a master plan.   Anyway, to say I enjoyed hanging out with their family is an understatement.  If it hadn’t been for a birthday dinner my husband and friends worked so hard to plan, I am pretty sure I might have pull a stool up to their kitchen counter and never left.

So this session was about family, a new home, and a little girl who is the light of their lives.  They are such a happy family, with such amazing energy.  I honestly think they laugh ALL THE TIME.

I had A LOT to live up to with this session though.  Never mind I am the first professional photographer they have used since their wedding…never mind there is only one framed image inside the entire home.  The net of it is that if I didn’t create a “montage” to meet specific expectations, I was OUT.  So I have done my best.  It’s all I can do.  I lay down my camera, I hit send on the email, I turn off my computer and I allow my work to be judged.  Have at it, pal.

So here’s a sneak peak for the rest of you — the non-montage version!  Enjoy!
