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!

January 13, 2011

I was so so excited to photograph Chase.  Mostly because I REALLY like his mom.  We are on the same page with a lot of things and so I just enjoy talking to her and catching up.  I also figured that Chase would be a gorgeous baby (and I was right) because his sister, Chloe, is STUNNING.  She is also a spitfire and one of the few little girls that can give Janey a run for her money when it comes to shrieking.   But it’s been so fun for me to watch Chloe grow up.  She is such a little girl now, polished, playful and really independent.  She makes you work a little for it, but once you get it, she opens right up!  So back to Chase.  I was equally excited for this because we shot it at my house.  I never, like NEVER, bring clients to my house.  But I know Jessica, and I knew it would work.  I love the light not only in my living room, but also in Janey’s bedroom.  So I knew we’d have a great setup for newborn shots and for sibling shots.  Best of all, I didn’t have to lug all my gear.  I am working with an even bigger bean bag now and my blanket fascination is completely out of hand, so I almost need to attach Owen’s trailer to get to and from sessions!  Anyway, it was just really nice.

So here are a few… not a lot because I want Jessica & Charles to be able to pick out some surprises for their birth announcements.  But I just love them!
