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!

Sometimes, I don’t blog. Big surprise, right? You can tell, I have large gaps between posts. Usually when this happens, it’s because I am completely swamped, overwhelmed and I just can’t add one more thing to my plate. When I am slow, I’ll blog pretty much everything I can… I’ll blog about what I cook, my kids snot filled faces, the weather. Sometimes my clients really want a blog post, and they don’t get one. Usually I try to appease with a quick Facebook album. Sometimes I do nothing.

Apparently for Melissa’s last two sessions, she fell through the blog cracks. I blogged a quick one for her newborn, but there was no write up… and I didn’t blog her holiday card session because I didn’t want to ruin the surprise of her card. So here we are, busy but not slammed, and I can finally do a little blog post for her.

I went to visit Melissa at her beautiful place in the city — next week, she and her family will be permanent city-dwellers. It’s amazing to see how happy she is there. Not to say she wasn’t happy living in her fabulous home north of the city… but here she is, in a one room luxury apartment, and she has everything she needs. She is relaxed. She is happy. She is loved. She is complete.

Baby Blake is 4 months old and he is awesome. In between feedings, wardrobe changes, being picked up, rearranged, passed between us, being put INTO A BASKET and being called in every which way so he would look at me, he never uttered a cry. He is so good natured, and happy, and just plain good. He must know how loved he is! I am so happy that I can document him through his first year and beyond. And even though I really, really enjoyed my morning with he and his mom (and lunch with his auntie and cousin), I am looking forward to the next session when we can include his dad and big brother!

So here he is. The amazingly adorable Blake. Love.
