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!

They are walking.  They are more delicious than ever.  I haven’t shared much of them lately because I think holiday images should be kept under wraps.  But since this one is not from the “card” session, I thought it was a perfect one to share. [Do you like how I talk about them with no introduction?  Almost like they re mine?  It turns out that just about every blog reader I have already knows who these babes are!!!  So no introduction needed!].

Will be back later on with at least 3 more sessions to blog… maybe 8.  Depends on how the night goes!

Needless to say, when I discovered this field behind my mother’s house, I was thrilled.  And I’d been secretly scouting yet another abandoned brick building.  So when Sarah said she was game to come to meet for a session, I jumped.  And I am SO glad I did.

That said, I think I could have put these two kiddos in front of a dumpster and had just as wonderful results.  They are seriously stunning children.  I haven’t met their dad, but I can say without hesitation, some of it must come from their mom.

Loved this entire session.

We stealthy borrowed Christofer’s rig for this one.  He didn’t know, he wouldn’t have minded.  Couldn’t love the tractor shots any more than I do… bummer we are a missing a pedal, but I don’t think anyone notices!!

Just posting images… some of my favs.

September 7, 2010

So I am a tiny bit backed up on blogging.  I am sure you have figured that out.  I am also a tiny bit backed up on editing, that’s sort of obvious too.  I know I keep repeating it, but someday it will be true.  I do believe tomorrow is the day I will be caught up!  And tomorrow I will be sending out Lisa’s slideshow and gallery.  Because it’s all edited and I’ve been a bad blogger, I figured I’d share more images in addition to what I already posted on Facebook.  So you know, sometimes at this time of year, there is no rhyme or reason to my blogging.  Sometimes I blog immediately.  Sometimes I post to Facebook.  Sometimes I email a few favorites and they never make it to anywhere else.  And sometimes I just send out the gallery.  Unless you ask me not to post anywhere, how things show up is just sort of random and no indication of how I felt about the session or what your images look like.  Sometimes it’s just hard to get it all organized consistently!

Anyway, I suggested the back of River Road to Lisa, and then she emailed me her wardrobe selection, and I have to tell you, I was THRILLED.  It really felt like something out of a J. Crew catalog.  I simply love the style, and I think it was an amazing blend of classic mixed with whimsical.  I believe it was perfect.  I loved this session so much.

I really love this family of hers.  When I first brought Christofer to Joyful Noises, even before Rainor joined the Toddler One class, Will used to lean out the door of Preschool and say “Hey Christofer, hey buddy, come here and give me five.”  And I’d think “Wow, my son has older friends!  How cool.”  Then I met Rainor and Lisa and I immediately liked Lisa as there is a bond with any mom that is juggling her work and her kids and somehow pulling it all together.  And what I first remember loving about Lisa was that she used to put cute little notes on Rainor’s lunch.  And that’s the sort of thing that a hormonal pregnant woman would start crying over [NO.  I am not pregnant.  I WAS pregnant at the time.].  Christofer and Rainor became fast friends and still are.  They are getting ready to be the big guns in Preschool and I am so thrilled they have two more years in class together.  I can only imagine and hope that Rainor’s sweet demeanor might possibly rub off on my boy and bring him down from a 10 to a 4 in energy (OK, I think we’d all be happy with a 6 or 7).

Here are a few more of my favs from the night!  I am so excited to send out this slideshow in the morning!
