More 365

29Jan10

I’ve been going strong on my 365 project…a photo a day for a year. I’m nearing the end of my 1st month and haven’t missed a day yet! I’ve been experimenting with a lot of still life images and product shoots. Take a look! So far it’s been challenging but fun!

One Year Old!

07Jan10

Sweet little “N” was sooooo good for her photo shoot today! I haven’t seen her in a few months and she has grown into an adorable little 1 yr old with a sweet personality!  I enjoyed spending time with her Mom and listening to her sing to “N” in French – she LOVED it!  Her Mom really treasures things from the past…especially things that were hers when she was a little girl. We were able to capture some images of “N” in a dress that her Mom wore at that age and  sitting in a rocking chair that she had saved from her childhood! Not many of us have such treasures. Take a peek. I think she’ll love these.


Yes, more snow today!  Dakota couldn’t wait to get out there and romp in the snow! She’s so funny, she burries her face in the snow to find her ball and comes up with a face full of snow. Can’t even image how they can do that. He’s a few images from our session in the snow.


365 Project

01Jan10

I’m excited to be starting a new project – The 365 Project. I’ve committed to taking a photo a day for an entire year. At first I  thought this sounded easy but I think it’s going to be quite challenging. I will be uploading these photo to my flickr photostream and the flickr group Project 365. I would love it if you visit everyday and view my 365 day journey. I’m sure they’ll be many portraits but I also want to include and explore other areas of photography. My vision is to also document some important things in my life, some everyday events and some things that just happen to catch my eye.  Wish me luck and keep cheering me on!!

This is an ornament that decorated many trees  growing up. I’ve save a few special ones and now use them on my tree. They’re beautiful with their scratches and discolorations. I love them and I’m so glad  that I saved them. Now if anything happens to it, I still have a photo of it. Take photos of things that are special in your life and  write a little about it to save for your family.

Wishing you all  wonderful upcoming  New Year!!

I’ve been doing more collages lately and loving them!! Here’s a peek at “True Love” .


The holidays remind us to stop  and make time to get together with family -some we don’t see often,  and some that we swish by  everyday not always having the time to  spend together.  What a great time to  have  family photo taken. Any mom would appreciate the task of coordinating time on a  holiday weekend to get everyone together….at the same time …and yes…in the same place! Well it was well worth the effort. We go so  many great images! Creating images with this family was so much fun and the kids had some great ideas!! As an added bonus….we  photographed three generations – a treasure for sure!

Can you imagine….a moment to hug your honey!!

..and her is sweet “Gram”

and meet  Bocci – possibly the most spoiled member of the family. Can’t imagine why…


Happy Birthday to the Mom of these four great kids!  For her birthday, she wanted to capture some images of her children. We’re so good about taking photos when are children are small  but often forget to capture the beauty of them growing and becoming adults.  What a great gift! I enjoyed talking with them and  finding out a little about each one. Their parents should be very proud!! Get 10 people to comment and receive a complimentary 5×7!!


These three girls were a charm!!  I enjoyed photographing these three lovely ladies!   I haven’t seen them in quite some time and my … they’re all grown up. We got so many  great images today  that I LOVE – it’ll be difficult to choose.  Their Mom always hand makes all their holiday cards every year and they are always incredible!. I’m honored that she selected me to take their special photo for this year’s card. Although I can’t show you THE image, I can show you a peek of the other images we took today. Take a look at these beauties!!

Always have to play around with photoshop….so much fun!!


Sometimes I work so hard at getting an image  that I love and other times….you have two seconds,  click the shutter and with the magic of Photoshop create an image that you just LOVE! That’s what happened just this morning. I was out to brunch with my family and one of my adorable nieces kindly posed for me. ( without complaining I tell you!!)  I’ll get the other two soon enough…watch out girls …you haven’t escaped me yet! XOXO.

I photographed these children at the end of the summer at a family gathering and was pleased to be called back for their own session. These children are just adorable!  I enjoyed little “N’s”  big smiles when Mom was being silly, and little Miss “G” with her beautiful Red Purse filled with….mmmmm candy!! A girl after my own heart!  The red purse  was a perfect fit for her vibrant personality. Thank you “E” for your patient help with the little ones and for  pulling out your guitar for us – I enjoyed  that! Keep practicing and you’ll  be so surprised what you’ll be playing by next year.:)
