Tuesday, January 26, 2010 at 9:21AM I’ve obviously stopped doing session recaps, because I’ve been sending galleries directly to clients rather than starting them off here, but I do want to share just a few of my favorites from three completely different sessions over the last few months.
I’m on my laptop again, so these images are not resized.
Monday, January 25, 2010 at 3:32PM I’m here! Things have been so busy for us that the blog has just been on the back burner. That’s a terrible metaphor, isn’t it?
But anyway, since I last posted (more than a month ago!) a lot has changed. A lot.
We’re still busy figuring things out, so I’ll put some of the changes in a bulleted list:
I’m going to be experimenting a bit with a few sessions, so I’ll be having a casting call of sorts when I arrive there. I’ll be looking for a couple, a toddler, and possibly a sibling group and a couple of individual adults for complementary (and complimentary!) sessions and some pretty awesome specials. Keep that in mind if you know anyone in the area.
Anyway, I hope all is well with you! I’m anxious to get back in the flow of things, but we’re obviously in a highly transitional state, so posting will be a bit sparse. I’ve been doing my best to keep up with emails, so feel free to reach me that way too!
Tuesday, December 15, 2009 at 2:34PM Eric and I are heading out the door to San Antonio for the night, but I wanted to share some pictures from yesterday’s session really quickly, because I’ve been remiss in sharing sneak peaks, and want to change that. I didn’t resize the pictures either, so I apologize for that, and thanks for scrolling.
I love doing sessions of people who have become friends—it’s a lot of fun. I’m so excited for Melanie. She’s starting her very own photography business, and when her site gets up and going, I’ll share the link here. You’d never know it, but her son was with her in all of these pictures, just barely out of the frame.
That’s how flexible sessions can be!
Anyway, her eyes just blow me away. I think it’s pretty obvious that she is a warm, wonderful person.
When there is a kid around I can’t resist taking pictures. He was a great sport, and waited (mostly) patiently for us to be done, although he was kind of scared of the tall grass. I think I would be too if I were shorter than the grass!
This is probably one of my favorite mom and baby images—just look at all that warmth and love. She was tickling him with the grass to show him that it was nothing to fear.
I think I can see what he’ll look like in a few years in this one, but for now, aren’t those eye lashes just precious?
We’ll be back tomorrow, and I should be posting more throughout the weeks to come.
Thursday, December 10, 2009 at 8:56PM I feel so grounded when I am near the ocean (well, technically Destin is on the Gulf, but still). That’s one of the reasons we are moving to New England. I’ve always wanted to live near the water, and now we will.
Here I am, in all of my no makeup goofy gloriousness in Seaside, Florida, near Destin and Grayton Beach. Eric was playing around with our new 20mm 1.8, which is where some of that fun distortion comes from.
Standing on the water’s edge brings me peace like nothing else can. I don’t like swimming, so it is more than enough for me to simply breathe in the salty air and listen to the rush of the waves. The impending storm made the day that much more powerful, because there is nothing like an isolated coastline to make you feel like you’re on the edge of the earth. That feeling of aloneness calms me in a fundamental way.
Where do you go to find peace?
Seaside Florida, destin, travel in Personal, Reflections, Travel Thursday, November 26, 2009 at 12:05AM for a week, at least.
Between Thanksgiving, the Houston wedding of good friends, and our visit to Destin, we’ll be gone quite a while, without wifi, no less. It’ll be good to get away from the computer for a bit, but I have a feeling my iPhone is going to get a serious workout.
This will probably be my last post for the week, so I do want to stick in a quick sneak peak.
These little dudes were a blast—boys simply know how to have fun. In the hours that I was there, they played soccer, raced cars, played video games, ate cupcakes, chatted about life with me on the deck, and had an impromptu wrestling session.
How can you look at this face and not grin? I can’t.
This kid is wicked smart. He was multiplying and adding and subtracting things on the spot, and he even told me that he can’t wait to learn division. I love that!
I’ll post more from their session (and many more) when we get back.
What do the next few days have in store for you? Anyone doing Black Friday? I used to do it for kicks, but now that I buy nearly everything from photo labs or Etsy for Christmas, there is no point.
Happy Thanksgiving to my US friends, and happy Thursday to everyone else! I hope you have fabulous vegetarian meals, and come out of the day with some hysterical family stories.
I’ll be tweeting and posting not so amazing iPhone pictures while we’re gone, so keep in touch with me here.
Thanksgiving, destin, family photo session in Kids, Sessions, Sneak Peak
