Meet the "T" family. I've been blessed lately with some adorable boys to photograph lately, and these two are no exception.

Sometimes as I'm working on a slideshow, I get teary and sentimental. I start to think about how fast time flies, and how fast our kids grow. I'm sure the mom of these boys is like me, and wants to remember for all time how her children sounded, felt, even smelled. I hope I captured a little bit of who they are, and not just what they look like.

Milestone passed

My baby isn't a baby any longer. M turned 3 last week, and it seems like over night she turned into a person, a little girl with big opinions. What this means for me it that my days of being the mom to a baby are completely over. Wow. I thought it would never end, and now it'll only be a memory.

She wanted her party at McDonalds, which I was more than happy to accomodate since this is probably the last year that I could get away it!

Apparently, this was the biggest day of her life, because she has talked about it ever since and already wants to know how long it will be until her next birthday. I don't want to think about it- the next thing I know, she'll be off to college.

I've been pestered by SEVERAL people for taking so long to post these, so here ya go!

A last minute shoot has turned into one of my all-time favorites, mostly because of the awesome personality of my model!

I got a call yesterday from the mom of "S." Her birthday party is this weekend, a super-glam bash, and they wanted a few images of S in her dress. So last night we headed out to a nearby park at took a few shots while my kids competed with S for my attention.






I know S and her mom are working hard to make her party very special. Have a wonderful birthday, S!

Landa Park

Friday afternoon I headed up to Landa Park for a portrait session. The late afternoon light was amazing, and this kid was a natural. His mom is gonna have to find a big stick to beat away the girls, if she doesn't have one already.

A Princess Birthday

I had a great time photographing a birthday party today, and the party is still going on!

Holiday Mini-Sessions are back

This was a huge hit last year, every slot was filled, and so far this year I have already booked the entire day before I even released the details (thanks so much to those that have referred me). So I'm adding another day of Holiday Mini-Sessions.

I'll be conducting the sessions at the River Walk on Sunday, October 21. Each session is scheduled for 20 minutes. I can accomodate a family of 4 in that time span, but if you have a larger family or would like individual images of each person, please schedule two consecutive sessions. The fee for an additional slot is $50.




The cost is $125 and includes:
Session fee
1 8x10
2 5x7's
10 4x6's
25 4x8 Holiday cards (other sizes, as well as folded cards, are also available)






For more information or to schedule a mini-session, please call or email soon. These spaces are very limited and will fill up fast!

Bleah

I just watched the 2nd episode of Journeyman, and I'm hooked! It's like Quantum Leap, which I loved, but so much better. The storylines between the Journeyman and his wife, his ex-wife and his brother are so intriguing. They are doing a wonderful job of answering the question of what you might do if you (or your husband) suddenly started to travel through time.

Oh, speaking of TV shows, I missed the beginning of Desperate Housewives last night, so I'm confused about Edie (hmm, now I'm not sure how to spell her name). Is she dead or not? What happened? Someone please fill me in!

Another fav of mine was on last night-Brothers and Sisters. I am on pins and needles waiting for next week to see if Justin died.

I love TV in the Fall when the new episodes begin!

One more thing. I really wish that there was a form of punctuation that was somewhere between a "." and a "!". I hate to see "!" used too often, but what else can you do when you don't want a sentence to fall flat? If I type the above paragraphs without the exclamation points, then as I read it back to myself, I hear Lilith's voice from "Cheers." Bleah.

Wow. I just realized how close to Bleah my name is. Bleah. Now I'm cracking myself up here in the dark, so I'd better quit this blog now. All I have to do is think of a title for this post, and then off to bed.

Have a day. Make it great!

Go Cougars!

I can't believe this, but somehow I ended up coaching my son's soccer team this year. Turns out, I love it! Our team has the best group of kids you can imagine, and I think they all enjoy it.

The only problem is, I really would like to take some more pictures. I might have to fake a sprained ankle so that I can sit on the sidelines next week and snap away!
