A man and his dog.

August 27, 2008

I spent an enjoyable morning with John and Juliet on Tuesday. We had a great time despite the humidity and heat.

My favorite!!

On a hot August afternoon.

August 25, 2008

I met up with some of my favorite clients on Saturday afternoon for a session.  It was HOT!  You would never know it from the photos though.  They were troopers and I think it was well worth it!

I loved this dress!  PERFECT choice for a photo session.  Great example of what TO wear!

There is something about this image that I can’t stop looking at.   Maybe it’s her eyes or the serious expession, but don’t you think it needs to be a BIG canvas?  I do. ;)

Custom Photography?

August 14, 2008

I came across some interesting articles today and immediately knew I had to share them here.  Author Marianne Drenthe has three articles on her site, Professional Child Photographer, that are very helpful in explaining just what it is that I do, why it costs what it does and how you can be sure I’m the right photographer for you.  Check them out.  VERY informative!

And since no post is complete without a photo…….Here are a few recent shots of one of my dear friends from high school.  We got together for lunch recently and shot a few maternity pictures.  Now tell me……….Can Wal-Mart or Sears do this? ;)

A new addition.

August 12, 2008

A good friend of mine has recently had a new addition to her family.  I went to their new house on Sat. to capture their sweet family.

This was an easy newborn session.  Little Preston was so sweet and easy to work with.  Here are my favorites:

I just had to share this one of Mia icing cupcakes on Saturday.  It was taken with my iphone.  She has been asking for weeks to make cupcakes.  She did about 1/2 herself and actually did a pretty good job.  She licked the knife several times so if you come over this week I wouldn’t suggest asking for a cupcake unless it doesn’t bother you that each one has a little bit of Mia in them. ;)
