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!

August 17, 2011

These girls are like sort of related to me, but not really. They are the cousins of my cousin’s daughters or the daughters of my cousin’s husband’s brother. My kids get really confused when I try to explain it to them, and they stare blankly at me and then say something like “OK. Now can we be twins too?” All that aside, I kind of love them like cousins and I am more loving that they have helped me out so much this summer. Seriously. I know you guys know that I operate on a very thin wire line of sanity and complete chaos, so knowing that at least Kendal or Paige will be at my door, sometimes with a twin or two, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, has breathed a tiny bit of calm into my life.

So I am hoping that Kendal’s reaction isn’t “Oh no, the entire slideshow on your blog. Really?” but more “Awesome, I looked GOOD for my senior pictures!” Because she really does, doesn’t she? I am honestly amazed at how poised, beautiful, smart, athletic and artistic the girls are in this town (well, in the all tri-towns). After every session I pick up the phone and call my mom and say “Seriously, how are they like this? they are incredible!” I make my mom check Facebook more than I ask my clients too!

Thank you for all you’ve done this summer, for inspiring me, and for helping me not age quite so quickly!

And here it is! Enjoy! Leave me blog or FB love (or at least like the post by clicking the thumb at the bottom) because it makes me REALLY happy. And if you knew what my last 10 days were like, you’d want to make me happy!
