Boudoir Session- First of the Year!

I had the pleasure of meeting the wife of a lucky husband.

Wait.  Did I say lucky?  I meant to say very, very lucky.

Here's just a photo or two... or three.

Your balance due is $2300 ..... (blah blah blah)...

I kept hearing the echo of $2300... $2300.... and then I remember saying- "So it'll be in on Monday?"  Yep.  My newest toy.

OK. Now the last item on the agenda:

Can someone please tell my husband I bit the bullet and bought the new Canon 5D Mark II?  That is, without kicking me out of the house ;-)

PS. Special thanks to Travis Flynn and Val McCormick for showing me theirs.  I will be sure to let my husband know where I got the idea :-)  

Happy New Year!

I'm in awe that we've already approached 2009.

I realize that some may have mixed feelings ringing in this particular new year with everything that is happening in the world.

For me?

I always take in the new year to be thankful for all that life has given to me and my family. Our health. Our happiness.

I wish you all the best in 2009. Cheers!

PS. You'll notice a few big changes in the next couple of weeks. New site. New blog. Just new stuff.

Lila

I had the pleasure to photograph Lila on a very brisk Sunday afternoon. It was 40 degrees out, but with the wind, it felt like 20!

This was Lila's 2nd session with me, and I was honored to have the opportunity to capture Lila's 18-month old moments. Mom and Dad need not apologize for natural reactions a toddler may have :-)

Lila was truly being a good sport (it was FREEZING outside!!) So we took a few photos both outside and inside (a hotel lobby, no less!)

Lila saw the camera and shyed away. No worries Mom and Dad- we captured some precious moments ;-)

Here is a sneak preview (ok, I edited it to include more photos!!):

Please note: With the storyboard below, photos were cropped to 5x7-
therefore the first image is missing more sides to the photo.
