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!

And they’re better than before.  Hey la, day la, the boys are back!  [You can thank me if you end up with that song in your head.  If you don't know that song, you're too young to read this blog, and yes, I card anyone under 21].  And yes, I know it’s supposed to be [...]

And they’re better than before.  Hey la, day la, the boys are back!  [You can thank me if you end up with that song in your head.  If you don't know that song, you're too young to read this blog, and yes, I card anyone under 21].  And yes, I know it’s supposed to be “boyfriend” and not “the boys” but that would have been weird.  Okay, enough.

I am [of course] late on posting these, so my apologies.  And I have to be short on words because I am [of course] catching up on what I owe everyone [including some amazing things for the mama of these two].

Enjoy!

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 [...]

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!

This month’s Jack & Will Show was quite possibly the best one yet.  I have to extend a big thank you to the “team” that I had helping me, which was comprised of 2 woman (ensuring safety), one man (ensuring laughs) and one 3rd grade girl (ensuring bubbles).  Oh, and 2 dogs (ensuring barking and [...]

This month’s Jack & Will Show was quite possibly the best one yet.  I have to extend a big thank you to the “team” that I had helping me, which was comprised of 2 woman (ensuring safety), one man (ensuring laughs) and one 3rd grade girl (ensuring bubbles).  Oh, and 2 dogs (ensuring barking and herding).

I am off to photograph Monica & Todd’s wedding today, so I am out of the loop… stay tuned for images tomorrow or Monday!

To say I was excited to look through these images is an understatement. I had them uploading before I even let Owen know I was home. I enthusiastically encouraged him to go to Home Depot while Janey napped so I could publish this sneak peak. And I uploaded them to the blog so that I could sneak looks at them in the kitchen and write this post while pretending to make lunch for the kids.

I was really excited to include the entire family in this month’s session. I think it just adds just and awesome dimension… and let’s be honest, you all wanted to see their beautiful parents too, didn’t you? I love that these little guys have a blog following of all their own! I think it’s awesome that I show up to sessions and clients will say “so tell me more about Jack & Will… how are they doing?” Anyway, I just love the captures of the boys and their mom. She is not only beautiful, but really lovely. And I could not have been more excited about her dress. How excellent is it? Love.

I think I have mentioned that Jack & Will live on a gorgeous farm. As they get older and we explore more, you will no doubt see more and more of it. I have figured out something fabulous or our July session… and also for our November/One Year session… just need to get the wheels turning and put it in motion!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Father’s Days. Owen has done enough yard work and pool cleaning to deserve a little cocktail, and I might just have to join him (especially since I just drove by a van that had “it’s 5:00 somewhere” written on the back windshield). My kind of peeps.

I am blogging out of order… I should be posting the two very awesome families I met on Saturday… or something about workshops… but I Carolyn needs a little fix of her boys because she’s out of town for a few days. When I used to travel for work, I simply loved staying in hotels… I loved having room service in a totally clean room, sleeping in a bit and not having to clean up after myself, or anyone else! But I’d wake up a few times at night wondering where my babies were… and take off and landing of the airplane would put me into a terror. I am a great flier, but there is just something about being a parent and flying without your children that can make you sick in a totally new way. So for Carolyn, who is out of town, here are your boys!

These two just get yummier each time I see them. They can really sit up now and Will is totally scooting around on his belly! Sort of like you put him down on hardwoods, turn your back, and he’s pushed back about 3 feet and facing the other direction! I got a bunch of shots of them together this time… and we went outside! I know some of the riding moms here in town want to see inside the barn, but I only put them at the entrance… maybe around 9 months we’ll put them to work in the actual stables.

I also took the opportunity to get them in front of the beyond fabulous graffiti on the barn… courtesy of their dad on their parent’s wedding day. When I first moved to town I thought “I am in love with that barn with the heart… wouldn’t it be amazing to photograph it…” I never imagined I actually would and that these two guys would be my models!

Next month is going to be a family session, so I am beyond excited to plan that!
