Baby Bliss

I haven't posted in a long while, in fact... it has been a little over a year. Yikes! I have had a lot going on in the last year and wanted to put in a quick update about the newest and most exciting change- We are thrilled to add another member to our family last month! It was quite a challenge to bring her into this world, but now that she is here, its like she has always been with us. So here she is at 2 and 5 weeks, in all her adorable glory. More to come of both my girls- pinky swear ;)

Little Bear

Boogie came home with a Bear costume when she went on a shopping trip with my mother in law last week, and she has literally been living in it. She doesn't seem to mind when she gets sweaty and red in the face- as long as she can be a "little bear."
She has a real commitment to all things fashion- trend watch people, I think the "Bear" is coming into vouge.

Emily and Sam

These two kids were so much fun to photograph, they were totally up for anything and it made the shoot totally painless. I had a blast watching them goof around with each other- who thought a brother and sister this age could actually be friends? They are the kind of kids who prove stereotypes about teen siblings dead wrong. I would have tried to hang out with them all day if it wasn't literally 98 degrees outside the day of the shoot. These guys were so composed and self assured- they didn't even break a sweat :)

fun with color

Tryin out a new location and some color ideas.. Let me know what you think!

just chillin'

Lauren and Ceasar are best friends. They like to chill out together, Maxing and relaxin' all cool- shootin' some B-ball outside of the school. Or something like that ;)
We adopted Ceasar about 6 months ago, and the first 4 months were very hard on us. Ceasar was found by the fire department after being hit by a car, he lived at an animal hospital for 2 months and no one claimed him. For the first 4 months in our home, most of what he did consisted of whining and nervous peeing. We stuck it out, and with a lot of love and patience he is rehabilitated and is now a great dog with more confidence and a stronger bladder.
Hooray!

Fa La La La La

I was on a corporate assignment today to take pictures of a music facility for marketing material. I thought I would share two from today that were a little less boring than "this is a room, This is a wide angle view of the room". I realized today that lugging a crap load of equipment/tripod/ladder around to shoot stills is a lot harder than it seems, and getting kids to make funny faces is a breeze so I should stick with that. I was there for hours, and now I have Too many images to edit. Le Sigh.

Arlo and Iris

Iris is 3 months old now, and as you can see from her birth shots a few posts back, she has changed so much! One of the things love most about being a mom (and photographing kids) is watching them change and grow. It really is magical. Here are a few shots from this morning, and Arlo being the good big brother that he is, made sure to give lots of kisses to Iris during the shoot. I look forward to Iris being a regular in the studio, she has a great disposition
