Recent Work .. Two Year Old

Friday, September 8, 2006

Sometimes everything clicks. As of late more often than not there has been a lot of clicking in my world and not just the kind of the shutter variety. We leave for Rome in a few days and I’m a bit disappointed because I’ve been having oh-so-much-fun working these days. My gosh! How lucky am I to be able to say that!






Recent Session .. Siblings

Friday, September 1, 2006

I love to catch funny sibling moments like these:



Their Mom shreiked, as any mom would, sure his actions would cause the little one to cry. Poor little girl was ready for a nap 10 minutes before, but she took it like a champ. She’s going to be one tough little cookie.



If I could only be around when they are all grown up and laughing about these.

Recent Session .. Engagement

Thursday, August 31, 2006

Since I stopped photographing weddings, engagement sessions only come about once a month. Most of the time it’s with couples who have decided to have a destination wedding and therefore aren’t working with a local photographer.
Here’s one of those fabulous couples:

“Childlike, I danced in a dream;
Blessings emblazoned that day;
Everything glowed with a gleam;
Yet we were looking away!”

Family Fun at the Morton Arboretum

Tuesday, August 29, 2006

A favorite recent personal shot …
Of course I could do without the unflattering distortion, but it’s rare that I am in any family photos, so to see myself (even in the slightest) with everyone else is an especially nice thing.
