Waiting List » In the next two weeks, I'll begin booking June, July and August from the list. I'm putting together a few different types of session packages and I want to make these available before booking any more sessions. Options are good. If there's something you would like to see in a session fee + portrait products package, let me know. Things are still in the works.

Casting Call » After I get through my waiting list, I'll be doing a small casting call for unique looking kids of all ages (curly hair, red hair, dark hair + blue eyes, etc.) to take part in a few complimentary conceptual sessions. These will be to test new locations and ideas I've been cooking up.

Reminder » To those reading along via an email subscription I've set up an options page where you can select what type of email you receive. If you are interested in one of the other options, simply unsubscribe from your current subscription (you can do so at the bottom of each email). Then, sign up for a new one.

There are so many of you currently on the list I can't help but cringe each time I post a new entry. This is especially the case when I'm posting personal entries. I'm thinking who could possibly want to read this. Nonetheless I'm going to keep posting. It's a nice distraction from the everyday and it serves as good therapy.

The Usual » Since I haven't posted portrait session images in a few days... check out this adorable one year old. She is just as sweet in person as she looks here.

Seen + Noted Around the Web

You had to admire my blissful ignorance when I so enthusiastically said to bring your camera to your next doctor visit as if it was the easiest thing in the world to do.

Today was Kendall's 6 month wellness check.

It was quite different from her 4 month in that the exact second I put her down on the table she started to whimper. We are having our bit of separation anxiety these days! The whimper escalated to a cry, I soothed her, back to whimpering, crying, soothing. Repeat. Very different from her last visit. I nixed the documenting idea within a minute of walking into the doctor's office. A record for me, I think.

We still tried. We had to at least try. I'm so happy we did. My heart melts into a pile of mush when I look at those two images of daddy and Kendall. I could look at them together like that all day.

Seen + Noted Around the Web

People are often surprised that I take photos that don't have kids in them. I actually take photos ALL the time of just about anything. Take today for example. I was sitting in my office plugging away and I saw some special light coming through the window. I had had to grab my camera and capture it.

I got up close and personal with a micro lens. No method to my madness it just happened to be on my camera. The first shot I aimed my camera towards the sun. That big bright circle? The sun. Love it. The second shot was seconds later shot towards the grayish blue sky and technically underexposed a tad for effect.

Nothing special in the grand scheme of things, but enough to keep the photography juices flowing.

Can you believe it? Before we know it Summer will be here and then Fall and then ... I won't even say the "W" word. I'm still sick of the last one.

Yesterday I was bemoaning the fact the our magnolia which bloomed last week was already losing its flowers. They leave so soon. Then this morning I was pleasantly surprised by new blooms from our plum tree. This is what is so great about this time of year. Everything appears to be continually refreshed. It gives me an unheard amount of energy. Look out world!
