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 15, 2011

This moment has come and gone. The twins have arrived. They are almost ready for Kindergarten and I am just posting this session.

This is the woman that gave her heart and soul [and sanity] to my children the year I had Janey. She is fondly known to our family as “Janey’sothamutha” or “RomarsmomJen” or “JenfromMissTerraleesmarket.” She’s known as a savior. She’s known as a mother before her time. She’s known as half of an amazing duo. She’s known as being the chick who got uber thin and fabulous and gained 4.6 lbs while pregnant with twins.

This isn’t to short change Billy. Because he is the bomb. He always has a smile. He works harder than almost anyone I know. He lights up when he looks at Jen. He’s a dad before his time. He has given 110% to ensure that his family is cared for and safe, regardless of how many early mornings, how many hours in the car, and how many quiet battles he has to fight.

And Romar. The kid who can light the world up with his smile. Who loves Jen & Billy and his entire family with all his heart. Who is wise beyond his years but is such a kid in his heart.

And so we spent this night together in the state of “almost” — before the girls arrived. When they were still safely baking. When they were just three.

I love this family and all that they stand for with all my might. I am honored to know them. I am thrilled I will be there to document their milestones.

Thank you for allowing me to do so.
