A Boy and a Turtle

As a Mother I have to admit that being a photographer is very handy.  Who else gets to studio light the simple moments like this?

Introducing Mary

I shot with an old childhood friend today.  Not that she's old, but we've known each other since we were itty bitty so in the grand scheme of friends we go way back.  We use to play Barbies together, which makes me smile.

I only had time to edit one this afternoon as I have a very patient little boy who would like to cuddle with me and watch "the bunny movie" i.e. Hop.  I will post more later this evening or tomorrow morning.

I also shot with the lovely Lori over the weekend, boudoir style, but before I share any of those photos (rest assured she looks HOT) I'm awaiting approval from her and her man on which they don't mind me sharing, or rather... which ones they'd like to keep to themselves *wink wink*

More of the Jarvis Family

A few more gems from the Jarvis family!

Introducing Moira

Once in a while we get lucky as photographers.  We get the opportunity to photograph a true "face".  What do I mean by that?  Take a look.

This is miss Moira, one of my dearest friends daughter.  She is not only a great kid she is strikingly beautiful and a joy to photograph.  I hope she'll do me the honor of sitting for me again in the future.

Introducing The Jarvis Family

I got the chance to {finally} shoot with the Jarvis family this evening.  I'm super happy with the results.  Here's a brief preview!  Click any image for a larger view.

A bit of 70's Sophistication

I had anticipated shooting today, but apparently something was miss-communicated because I was ready to go yet subjectless.  Well, almost subjectless.  There is always that little mister who has proven a most willing little model; Jude.

Sometimes you just have to make the best of the situation.  This makes me think of 70's guy glamour shots.  Makes me giggle a little.  Makes me smile a lot.
