The three sweet little angels in my family; my daughter and my two nieces. This was a gift to my mom for Mother's Day, and you know what she did when she opened it? She cried. I'd say: Mission Accomplished.
I've said it time and time again, but I really do have the most amazing clients. I've been so privileged to get to know so many different people and feel blessed that some have become my friends. I treasure getting to peek into their lives so that I can capture who they are and what they love.
When I first photographed this client a couple of years ago, I was so surprised to learn that she has her own business doing princess parties! Are you kidding me? Is that not the coolest thing? Ever? I was so sad that my little girl was only a baby then! But we've stayed in touch and I had the opportunity to do some head shots for her as Snow White. Since then she added Cinderella to her resume, and I just knew this was the perfect year to have her do my daughter's birthday party. Cinderella was so fabulous. She ran the entire event, from sending out invitations, to bringing the cake and lunch! She sang songs, read stories, gave manners lessons and even did a craft and balloon tying with the girls. She was the *perfect* princess the entire time, and I think that the parents enjoyed the party as much as the girls did!
Make sure to check out her website here! Tell her I sent you! And if any of you order the horse and carriage, invite me to the party too. Pretty please!?!
A mother can never get enough of her children. It's amazing to me how drawn I am to mine. But since I've got some time off right now, you're going to see some more of them as well.
There is something about a timeless photograph. My aunt shares old photographs of my grandparents on her blog often and I love to look at them; to search them for a sign of myself and my own children, a sign of the grandparents I knew and loved. Something about those old photos just makes me feel good.
I normally don't play with my post-processing too much, but today I was in a vintage mood and I thought this photo called for it. I muted the colors and added a touch of grain, and didn't sharpen for web. What do you think?
I am not currently accepting clients. But please come back to check out my artistic projects. If you have an idea for a project you'd like to work on, simply contact me using the form below.
