I’m a bit snowed under right now but I’m so proud of the work my DH did for my booth that I wanted to share! Camera phone quality but I think you get the idea!
And do you see those WAY COOL stands? My BIL hand made those for me! (Well, I shouldn’t say hand made, his huge very fancy steel cutting machine cut them and he welded all the pieces together!)
I’m in NYC this week for an interview, Photo Pro Expo (a photographers convention) and portrait sessions. So far I have enjoyed one day off doing a little bit of shopping, a lot of walking and absolutely no picture taking whatsoever! I promise I’ll post something tomorrow!
I try not to wait for thanksgiving to find things to be thankful for. The beautiful sunsets are one of the joys of daily living in this part of the world! What are you thankful for in your daily life?
I’m so very excited to announce my new portrait website is LIVE! I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to add content, pictures and helpful info.
Take a look - here’s the link again! - and let me know what you think!
A photographer buddy of mine does something quite wonderful at this time of year. He holds a Photo Marathon in his portrait studio in Old Town Alexandria and creates amazing works of art for charity. His subjects are you, me and anyone else who wants to contribute to this wonderful event. What do you get out of it? Well, besides getting a wonderful portrait done of you/your family/dogs/goldfish, you get to know that EVERY cent of your session goes to a family in need. I could go on, but why don’t you click through to Matt’s link about it and read for yourself!
I’m so thrilled! WedPix (the online magazine from the Wedding Photojournalist Association) just published a very cool piece on photographers and how they capture quiet moments. They were kind enough to not only interview me but to showcase one of my award winning images.
Back from vacation and slowly trying to catch up on being effectively offline for over a week! I’ll keep this one brief with a a picture from my daughter’s favorite activity in the Big Apple!
well I WAS going to show just one, but by popular request, I am now posting the “fidgeon” hunter snapshots. My daughter has apparently been chasing and catching our chickens most of the summer and to the utter amazement of the New Yorkers standing by, she put that skill to the test by stalking and capturing a sky rat, er I mean pigeon. As I was buying her an ice cream at the commencement of the “stalk” there are no visuals for that but as soon as she had one in her hand, I dropped the ice cream and grabbed the camera. May I present, the “Figeon Hunter”?

RELEASE
No animals were injured in the making of this sequence!
I’m up in beautiful Boston to help my friend Tony Pulsone with a wedding - his wife just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and I was on call just in case (it’s great being a part of a group of like minded colleagues - Tony helped me out when I was pregnant with my daughter and acted as my second/step in lead just in case for a two wedding weekend.)
Anyway, hopefully I’ll get a chance to photograph the new arrival and the rest of the family later this weekend! In the meantime, I must admit to enjoying the gorgeous 65 degree weather after the 101 humidity blanket I left in VA! Have to run so I leave you with two variations of a view on the Charles River…

Let me know which version is YOUR favorite in the comments!
Its something we wedding vendors hear about upon occasion - the uninvited guest…
and when those guests bring children…
well, most people would have a conniption fit . Children usually have to have their own meals ahead of everyone else…
and when they don’t get fed, they can sometimes get a bit unruly!
notice, the ripped in screen from an earlier visit that day.
sometimes, you have to call in the bouncers…
no animals were unavoidably injured in the pursuit of this story. (momma just got a leetle pepper spray to dissuade her from coming back)
our heroes!
There are BEARS in them thar woods!
