| When you are entering into a session with a toddler and a six week old you never know quite what the end result will be. For certain there will be some sweating involved and acting like a crazy loon trying to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time. I always tell parents we just need one....would we love to have a dozen with both of them looking at the camera with angelic faces just perfectly placed...absolutely. Problem being the reality sometimes does not cooperate. So we got one of the two girls, both looking, before the oldest ran off on her next adventure. What fun after all is a woman with a big black box in front of her face making zerbert noises when you have toys in the next room to play with. Every ounce of energy and bit of distraction Mom, Dad and I could muster we tried. In the end we got some keepers, adorably cute and sweet keepers. We have wall groupings and pictures for Dad's office and a fabulous birth announcement. A beautiful family and they are now blessed with two of the cutest girlies in the world! |

Pretty in Pink
 Kids
|
Being a teenager in the 80's one of my favorite movies of all time is Pretty in Pink. There is just nothing better than a good John Hughes movie
to make you laugh and cry. Anyway I thought the post title was even more appropriate because this little girl is a little Molly Ringwald in the making.
Red hair, beautiful eyes and adorable in pink!!! So for those who thrive on nostalgia and all things pink and girly these are for you.... |

This is where I was meant to live...
Family
|
| Napa Valley! It is seriously one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. My oldest and dearest friend lives on a beautiful quiet little slice of heaven on a mountain near St. Helena. I thought I died and went to heaven when I went there in April. The weather was hot for the time of year when I was there but I was certainly not complaining!! We ate, we drank and had good ol' girl time. Eat, shop, drink, shop, etc! So here are a few shots of two of the sweetest, and most adorable little munchkins in the world and then some shots of the winery (O'Shaughnessy) where her fabulous hubby is the sales manager....very yummy you must check it out. |
| These are in the cute little town of St. Helena... |
And I can't forget my favorite lap dog...Scout...all 85 pounds of him! This dog has an uncanny
affection for me that I have yet to figure out!?!? |
| One of my favorite sessions was one that I did a little over a year ago for a family. I photographed three generations of women....beautiful, fun-loving, gracious, intelligent, and caring women. I was so thrilled they chose me...what could be more important after all. This is their legacy. This is their story. The love captured, the laughs shared are memories I still hold and so it is with heavy heart that I share these now as the family has lost their mother, their grandmother. She is gone but certainly not forgotten. Hopefully these images will remind them of that great day and the great love that they shared. One of my favorite quotes is from E.E. Cummings and it says " I carry your heart with me. I carry it in my heart." I know that this family will always carry her in their heart. So to all of you please hug and hold those you love even closer and don't forget to say "I love you". Sometimes it is a loss that reminds just how much we have in our lives to be thankful for. |
She was a tiny little thing with the biggest most beautiful smile, she could light up a room. A total natural in front of the camera she made my job
very easy. Great clothes and great personality to boot. She had a love for the art that we were making and I appreciated that so much. Good luck
to you K. this year and from here out...you will do great things!
