Birthday Girl!

Earlier this week, I was invited by the fabulous Katie and Adam to come over and spend time hanging out with them for Ella’s first birthday. Just look at that cutie! How could I resist? I’ve actually wanted to get Ella in front of my lens since this past spring when I [...]


Cooper, in Black & White

I think this just might be my favorite shot from the whole session. Newborn photography makes me just a little bit giddy! (I posted it in color too.)


The Big Red Couch…

I always knew I would adore Kandis, Julia’s daughter. I mean, first of all, her blog is pink. Then there is the whole Trivial Pursuit thing at the top. (I was always the winner until I met Kymberlie & Mike. I bow to their wisdom of useless crap.) But the [...]


We Are Family…

This week is going to be all about editing photos for Fresh Photography, so hang on - it is going to be a busy time around here! (I’ll probably be cross-posting from the Fresh Photography blog several times, since it will be my main focus all week!)
First up, the Mother’s Day weekend [...]


Such Stunning Blue Eyes…

Pssst… want to know a secret? We redesigned the Fresh Photography site! It isn’t quite done yet, and won’t be for another week or so as I work up updating the Flash portfolios, but it is getting pretty close! I haven’t made a big hoopla over it yet, but I couldn’t sit [...]


Manhattan Sunset…

One of my favorite shots of the sunset over Manhattan, as viewed from Fulton Ferry Landing at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge. So much better if you view it large.
Before I could finish editing the photos from my trip to Philly and New York, I had to wrap up the proofs from the [...]


Brave Bride Wanted…

While I hate the name of it, I seriously want to find someone that is willing to participate in a Trash the Dress photo shoot! Come on … you can’t tell me you’re really going to ever wear the dress again. Plus most of the things we would consider doing can easily be [...]


Have a Seat…

Isn’t she a sweetheart? Our session started later in the day than we had originally planned because we were waiting for my new lens to arrive. Of course, UPS showed up about an hour into the session, 20 minutes away from where we were at. That’s ok though - we ended up [...]


Emma’s 4 Month Portraits…

I just finished editing and uploading Emma’s photos! Whoo hoo! She is adorable - it was fun to go through them all over again. Now I’m working on Grace’s pictures, and then … oh, heck. I don’t remember who is next at the moment. I’m just giddy that Emma’s are live [...]


It is Jasmine Time!

I’m dealing with the itchy scratchy throat and the weird flush feeling again - it is time for the jasmine in the backyard to be in full bloom! Oh, how my allergies love it.
I wonder if I go and work upstairs if I could at least escape it somewhat. Hm. At least [...]


The Accidental Photo Shoot!

Much better if you view it large.
Last Friday I made a quick trip down to Galveston to take shots for my friend Shelley’s storytelling website. While we were up on the rooftop of the Tremont, I spotted this cute couple on the other side. I had snapped a photo of them earlier as [...]


A New Adventure…

While Kimberly was looking at me and smiling for the camera, Stephen was checking out his brand new wedding band. We had such a great time at their wedding in February (in spite of the fact that I had no voice!) and we’re looking forward to getting together with them again soon.
After navigating all [...]


A Long Day…

What was not supposed to be a long day has turned out to be a long day. Feeling overwhelmed and stressed out, I ended up looking at photos on Flickr. I then realized that I have not shared any of the waterlily shots lately, and as my love for photographing flowers is well [...]
