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!

Just posting images… some of my favs.

I am short on words today because I am short on child care… I am not sure how “morning only” will work out for school since my children apparently are allergic to napping.  We will see.

I was so happy to be able to photograph this family again… and at this location again!  Even though I know their new house will be fabulous, I can’t help sighing over these roses and hydrangea.  So when you have a location like this, filled with so much natural beauty, then you add in stunning family members and robust colors, and a bit of amazing late afternoon light, you really can’t go wrong.

Sangita, thanks for having me over again.  As always, a wonderful evening with your lovely family!

Nothing makes me happier than shooting outdoors.  I love it.  Doesn’t matter where I am, I feel at home.

Second to that, nothing makes me happier than shooting families that I really like.  And I really like this one.  There are a few reasons why.  Obviously they are strikingly good looking.  And they are very gracious and nice.  But it is really special to me to photograph extended families — it’s one of my favorite things to do.  And I feel so fortunate that I was able to photograph them twice, once with each set of grandparents.  To have multi-generational photographs is absolutely priceless.  Finally, I just love this mom.  This winter, shortly after I left IBM, I drove through some really treacherous weather to get to her house.  I got there two hours late and was really out of sorts.  I was a little overwhelmed with life and wasn’t really sure everything was going to pull together like I had planned.  When I arrived, she made me a latte and we ended up discussing life on a very philosophical level.  And I learned so much in about 30 minutes that pretty much upgraded my entire level of thinking about why we are in this world and who we should strive to be.  So that meeting was perfect timing in my life.

So with that mouthful out, here are the images from an absolutely wonderful second perfect timing event.  Grandparents in town, everyone available, schedules coordinated, kids really happy and simply gorgeous weather!

I am finally getting caught up with blog sneak peaks, almost a week late. Like my other sessions from last weekend, it was a reschedule of a reschedule weather did not disappoint! I was excited to be off River Road and in a totally new stomping ground. I was thrilled that Kerri chose the location and when I showed up it was simply gorgeous and perfect for photographs. And her girls, and their dresses, Oh My GOSH I loved every minute of them. So much that I had to do a little shopping myself when I got home! Everyone was so much fun and it was a really great way to wrap up a weekend. Well, almost wrap up since I had a pit stop on the way home… more on those later!

So my apologies for the delay, here’s a little glimpse of our day!

I was so excited to get a call from Janet’s good friend about a session.  Of course I was so excited that I actually hit redial to her when I thought I was calling Owen and so when she answered I was super taken aback as to why she was answering Owen’s phone!  Then I figured it out, called her back, awkwardly apologized and we got ourselves all squared away!

What a great family.  Family photos can be so tedious, almost awkward, but when dad helps lighten the mood by chucking acorns, and the kids start throwing up signs and flexing their muscles, really, how can you go wrong?  So this went from a say “cheese” sort of session to downright chaos and it was really a lot of fun!

Thanks so much!
