My Little One Is So Kind To Me

A. is usually so accommodating; he’s my “go to” kid for practicing.
B. and S. will usually work with me, but - surprisingly - have less of an attention span. Well, if the TVs on or they are involved in something else.
I guess that’s why A. is so accommodating; he’s still easy to distract.
So [...]

A Tween In Old Town

I love working with kids of all ages, and was super excited to have a session with a tween.

Especially when I heard that she was interested in having some “urban” photos taken.

K. was a trooper, too! We walked around Old Town for almost two hours, taking pictures anywhere that was interesting.

She had lots of fun…

but [...]


I’m So Excited!

I just had to share my news.
A few days ago I submitted an application to join Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS).
I nervously waited to hear back from them.  Not patiently, either.
I asked other photographers if they thought I met the requirements (because I answered ‘no’ to several of the questions).
I [...]


Walk Like A… Ballerina

I’ve always wanted to capture shots of my daughter walking on her toes.
She doesn’t do it the typical way. She walks on the tops of her toes.
Like a ballerina!
Here she is on her way up; toes already curled under.

Here she is on her toes.

The foot on the left isn’t as high because she was getting [...]


Pleasing Fungus Beetle

The strong winds blew this bug into our yard recently.

His color was amazing, and along with his size made him very obvious on the sidewalk. He (am I being gender biased and calling it a “he” ‘cuz it’s blue? ) had been stationary but started to move - quickly - as I stood over [...]


Maternity Silhouettes

I have been having so much fun doing these; both taking them and processing them! They’re tricky and poses are limited, but the challenge is part of the fun.

I’d been inspired by another photographer’s photo of his own wife, and knew the instant I saw his photo that I wanted to do the same.

The first [...]


So Many Wonderful Kids

I was recently invited to take pictures for a local school, and I jumped on the opportunity.

I had such a great time, too! They were all beautiful, funny, wonderful, amazing children!

My heart wouldn’t allow me to create traditional style school pictures, and I was glad the parents accepted, even appreciated, that fact.

I spent about [...]


Birthday Breakfast In Bed

My daughter has been asking for breakfast in bed for months. She had gotten the idea from some TV show that it was some sort of lavish event; that people who got breakfast in bed were being doted upon.
She’s right, of course.
I have a dislike of food in beds just for practical reasons, [...]
