Injuries...

That's us. My daughter cracked her eye on the corner of an AC that was on the floor, look at the poor baby! We had a nice little trip to the hospital, I was worried it'd scar if we just left it. This was after all of the swelling went down, it looked pretty crazy there for a while! Then I sliced my pointer finger pretty badly, and yeah, on my dominant hand, just super. So snapping the ol' camera was a challenge today. I can't edit with a bandage on, it's just not comfy and quick, so I keep reopening the wound and bleeding all over as I edit. Good times, good times.

Regardless, I will truck on...and I am getting through a chunk of things. 4 weeks until my Vacation, so I will be kicking it into high gear for the remainder of my sessions this month, so we can have everything done, or nearly done, by the time I leave! There will be plenty of time to place an order when I get back, and still have it here for Christmas, but I'd like to have the majority finished by December 9. Whew, It's gonna' be a blast!

Pretty

I promised a few people I'd post a shot from their recent sessions, so here they are! Things have been busy, to say the least. Only 6 weeks until I go on Vacation, so it's time to kick it onto high gear. I left myself a couple of days here to edit all day, and also get the holiday card designs posted. So look for those within the next couple of days!

Long Time...No Post

Things have been hectic to say the least! But I've been having lots of fun with my sessions, despite the late night editing. I left the next two days open, so hopefully I can catch up on a big chunk of my editing. Here are a few of my recent favorites, look for more soon as I get through my chunk of editing!

This is a repeat client who I recently saw, and she always gives me some of my favorite shots! This one if no different, I love everything about it.


The eyes on this girl are amazing!


My new "foliage" spot that I found recently, the ducks and swans that always show up are just a bonus!


You simplay can't NOT smile at this little guy, he had cheeks to die for!


I don't get to photograph too many kids that are a little bit older...which is too bad, I love to!

These Kids Rock!

Not sure whose kids these are...someone just dropped them off on my doorstep with a note that said "Please photograph". But wow can they take a photo! Sorry, I just need a moment to gloat, tee hee! I'm very lucky to have such willing subjects. The little one is still a bit of a hassle, but my son would do this every day for me, I think he loves it as much as I do! Okay, I'm done...back to work...

Sneak Peek

Just popping on to add a couple of new ones from yesterday's session...

Time Is Flying...and so is he!

Wow, it's been a while since I've managed to update here. My camera was out of commission for about 2 weeks. The silly thing konked out at the end of a session with out-of-state clients, but we had fortunately taken most of the shots we needed! So now it's all fixed-up and cleaned, and we're back in the swing of things! I can't belive the busy season is upon me now, and both of my kids will be starting school again in 2 1/2 weeks. Where does the time go?

So can you get over how HIGH this child is in the first photo!!!

Soon I'm going to figure out how to make these images larger on here, they look so tiny. But if it's your photo and you want to see it larger, click on it!

Quick Teaser

Just popping on to post a quick teaser for a session from yesterday. I just love this photo! I'm mad-editing right now after a big rush of sessions this past week, so more to come!

Busy Weekend

Here are a few from this weekend's sessions, or some of the ones I have edited anyway! Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July!

On a Roll...

I was just saying to my sister-in-law tonight that I feel like I've been on such a roll lately, and getting such great shots! These first two were of my niece, she had her dance recital a couple weeks ago and I do her photos for her. We had a few great ones, but I may use one or two of the others to update my website with, so you can't see them all yet!

And the third is of my own little cutie-patootie. I'm very fortunate, both of my kids really enjoy having their photos taken, and usually cooperate...for the most part! I literally just "sorta-brushed" her hair and plopped her down in the ivy with a flower she had just pulled off in my garden...and this is what resulted.

Fun fun!

I had a visit from an old college friend, and here are just a couple of the shots from the session! I think we did pretty good, considering there were 4 kids involved!!! The one of the four of them together just cracks me up!





Until next time!

Holy Cow

What an insanely successful session this was! I'm sitting here mass-editing sessions, and had to share a few from this one. I may have to share more of this session later...I have a feeling there will be more great ones!
(If you click on them, you can see them larger)

Busy!

Things have been borderline nutso lately. Luckily, school is out for the Summer as of this past Friday. Baseball, soccer and ballet have ended within the last week as well...so now it's just the daily grind of Summer! I've been having some great sessions lately, and now that extra-curriculars have ended, I can catch up on everything else!!!

By the way, have I mentioned that I am so not crazy about the way these photos look on Blogger? They just look way better to me on my computer and when printed out than they do here...but maybe it's just me being anal!

Happy Fathers Day!

Just popping in quick to post a couple shots from recent sessions!

More teasers!

What a weekend it has been so far! My last few sessions have been so fun, and so productive! As some of you know who have been coming to me for a while, I like to run inside and download all of my images right away, then edit one or two that I remember as being solid images. I can't do them all right away (sorry!), because I try my best to stay in order of when I take them...but it's fun for me to run in and see a couple! So here's a couple from this weekend!




I mean seriously...does it GET cuter than this?


Okay, I'm a tad biased here, because this little man reminded me a lot of my son when he was one. But every so often an image just grabs me, technically and emotionally, and this first one is one of them, I just love it! I wish you could see the color and clarity in his eyes here as well as I do, but Blogger never seems to make these photos look like they do in person.
