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!

April 4, 2011

Vivienne’s mom came to me by way of that gorgeous mom up there in my blog header. Her parents trucked her (along with her gorgeous brother Marco) all the way up to me, on a gray and snowy day – the exact type of day that leads you to say “I should probably just stay in bed all day.” But I am glad they made it to capture some teeny tiny newborn details…and I am even more excited for a follow up session at their home. Even though I love shooting traditional newborn images in my studio, and the light cannot be beat, I love photographing families and babies in their natural surroundings, just being together.

When I proofed a few of these images, I immediately called my mom and said [as I always do] “Mom, I just photographed the most beautiful mom EVER!” And her response was “All your clients are beautiful.” And to that I said “You are right.” So we add Vivienne, and her parents, and her dog, to the long list of clients whose faces I will stare at and memorize for hours, and fall in love with, and rave about and hope I can capture for years to come.

Thank you for a lovely little snowy morning!
