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!

I can’t.  Shame on me because you know how I love these sessions.  This is the April installment of the Jack & Will Show.  Technically, I am right on time because it’s only two weeks from the session date, but usually I at least hook up Carolyn with a sneak peak!

So here is our sneak peak from April with a gallery and uploaded Facebook albums (and a canvas display wall diagram) all coming at you!  It might be fun for you to see my logic in suggesting canvas displays, and I have a few others I need to complete (Terri Lee)…. so maybe I’ll share that thought process as well!

Back to the boys.  Love these two.  They are doing SO well at sitting.  I would be they are even better two weeks later, so when I am there at end of this month, we’ll have way more to show you as these guys develop, the grass is greener, the temps are warmer and we move outside!  I already have grand plans for those rose bushes and just wait ’til I can get into that barn!

We might need to revisit the baseball theme next month so I can do it up right!

Loved our session this month! I walked in thinking “What am I ever going to do with these guys to make it special? It’s raining and grey and none of the things I thought up even feel feasible in this cold…” And this house, and these babies, they never fail to disappoint. It is probably the best thing I can do for my photography growth and development… every month looking for new and unique challenges, not re-using props or locations, working with the babes so that I document their evolution and show their uniqueness and bond! I also keep thinking about all the One Year albums options there are… and Carolyn’s fabulous canvas wall… this has been way more fun than I ever expected!

I am seriously loving these babes though. They have totally distinct personalities, but are so cute in that they still grab for each other, knowing they are connected. And I think they weigh more than Janey… and Will for sure has more hair than she does! Hopefully she’ll like younger men…

I am

I absolutely love heading down the street for these sessions.  I have so many ideas for the warm weather, and for when these guys can sit up!  I am thinking my May session is going to be off the hook… and hopefully for the June session we’ll shoot the entire family!  I am hoping we can do one full session just in the barn.   It is so fun watching Jack & Will grow each month… they are out of the newborn stage where you have to carefully hold up their heads and worry endlessly about them.  They are really strong and sturdy and push up so well!  They are getting the hang of holding their feet and I bet it’s so soon before they are really rolling over… then a whole new set of worries!

Can’t wait for next month!

This is the second installment of the Jack & Will Show, celebrating 2.5 months of their reign over the farm. I am so incredibly excited because I am going to photograph these guys every month this year! Usually this age is a tough age to photograph, because babies just don’t “do” much… but these guys were rock stars. They did their best at just being really cute and so it made my job super easy! Their mom has impeccable taste and their house is divine, and so I already have a million ideas for what we’ll do next month, when they can push up a little bit… and you just wait to see what I have planned when they can sit!

I can’t believe I forgot to blog this.  Well, I sort of can, because I have about 6 sessions from the fall that I never blogged… but I actually had this one ready to go about 30 minutes after I shot it.  And then I forgot to blog it.  Back on track… these little boys were the sweetest little twin babes you could imagine… I think maybe 12 days old?  But still oh-so-sleepy and oh-so-good.   This session was really fun for a few reasons (1) I spent a lot of time drooling over the most fabulous farmhouse these two boys will cause trouble in, (2) I like their mom, (3) it took me less than 2 minutes to drive there, and (4) Terri Lee helped me the entire session!  It was so fun having her with me and as much as you might think she and I would get sidetracked talking and what-not, we actually worked really well together and she helped me figure out a bunch of shots!  She’s welcome any time.

Back to the boys, I don’t care if I have to beg, plead, kick and scream… I am coming back to photograph these boys for life.  I already have so many ideas for when they can sit, crawl, run, chase each other, and… RIDE!  Carolyn, thank you for having me over!  I am so sorry I forgot to blog these!
