I have spent over 13 hours today trying to catch up on all this editing - weddings, duck sessions, seniors and maternity sessions. I am no where close to being finished. The studio has been in a state of transition as we build out my gallery and viewing room in the back. I had to put a hold on ordering because the dust was getting on everything. And dust and pictures are not a good combo. We have spent every day cleaning and moving, cleaning and moving. The construction is done, but everything is not in it’s place yet.
Some people don’t understand my obsession with taking the "family feet" shot or my tendency to chop a head off (like I did above). It’s just a different perspective on the story I am trying to tell. When I came across this one tonight I was instantly attracted to it. I’m hoping she will let me post the slideshow on my blog because she really was a beautiful maternity client.
I’m working like crazy to catch up.
The boys looked like they had so much fun today out at the fire station. The first image may be the one that makes the invite. The second shows the way I know the boys. They were in little boy heaven sitting in the driver seat of that big ol’ truck.

The senior rush has officially begun. The next two weeks you will be seeing lots of senior previews. Today was a unique session though because this senior came from over an hour away. That always puts the pressure on me to really get some good images. It really was a perfect evening for photography because it was overcast and not too hot and not too cold.
Krista (please forgive me if I spell your name wrong), you have some great images to choose from. I still can’t believe that this was your first time being photographed. She has everything a photographer could ask for - great eyes, a dazzling smile, and some traffic stopping legs.
On a separate note, I think the teenage skateboarders have figured out it’s cool to hang out in front of the studio to check out the girls I have been photographing lately. We had a little audience today and it isn’t the first time they have hovered close by.
Be Good!

Here is my first preview of the day. I’ll be back later to post more. I went and spent the afternoon with Little Caroline. This little one is so special to me because she belongs to my childhood friend, Emily. Caroline turned one this week and we went to the Arboretum to capture this one year old in action. She was really happy today and mom knew exactly how to make her laugh!
Here is an image that embodies evertyhing being a one year old is. A little girl balancing on her toes, little specks of dirt on her feet, exploring the world on the other side of the gate. I had a great time with you all today!

If you watch America’s Next Top Model, you know that FIERCE is a word Tyra and the judges use often. Kaitlyn channeled Tyra today and gave me FIERCE. It’s hard to believe she is a senior.
I left my last duck session at the studio. I’ll post a preview tomorrow (sorry Anji).
Be Good!

The past two mornings I have arrived at the studio to find the ducks out of their galvanized tub wandering about the studio. They are growing up and in another two days they will be in their new home. They have been comedic in these past days.
The Reagan Children stopped by this morning to play with the ducks. Big Brother was excited about the ducks but little sister was not so sure.
Then later in the day we attempted a shoot at the fire station. One would think on a cloudy day we would be OK - but it still proved to be way to bright for the boys. Here is the best shot I got of them today. All the others they are squinting and covering their eyes. Poor things.

This seems to be a very popular Birthday Week. I am doing two separate birthday shoots at the Arboretum this week. I was wishing someone a Happy Birthday just yesterday.
Stuart was very interested in the different textures around him. He loved the soft green grass and feeling the mulch in his hands. He was much more interested in exploring.
I found a very pretty spot at the arboretum that was not so floral, but more classic and serene.
Happy Birthday Stuart!
Be Good!
