My eyes usually feel foggy when I stumble outside every morning to feed my dogs. After rubbing on them a bit (my eyes, not the dogs) I realized it was a foggy morning and that (so far) I still don't need glasses. It was Mother Nature, not me that cast a gloomy glow around my neighborhood. Creative things can happen very early...
I had so much fun shooting Rachel a few weeks back. We kept having to postpone because of the rain but we finally got some great shots. Rachel goes to my old high school so that was pretty cool too. I surprisingly didn't feel as old as I thought I would! ha ha Senior portraits are a big thing in the mid-west. A great alternative to the school photography and so many more personal options. We can even do cards and parent albums. Give me a call if you're interested! I narrowed my favorites down to a gazillion, okay maybe 12.
Okay, so I've had a few friends tag me over the last month and I never feel like I have a minute to respond so I'm just stealing a random moment now. Thank you for being remotely interested in these facts that usually only reside in a dark corner of my brain. Here goes:
Congratulations to the Firefighter for finishing his year on probation with LAFD. He got his full shield on Sunday (rookies only have a half shield). We are sooooo proud of him! (And he looks hot in his uniform!)
I was so excited when I hung up the phone. An old buddy from high school had just called and wanted some shots of her and her girls for a surprise present for her husbands birthday. (For those of you who know these people.. SHHHHHHH... I don't know if he got his gift yet but Pam said I can post so, SHHHH.) We decided on some artsy black and white stuff and I couldn't wait! It was so great reconnecting with her that I had to remember to shoot and not talk. We both have eight year old daughters so it was neat comparing our lives since we last saw each other.
When Laura met David she thought he lived too far away for them to pursue a relationship. Luckily, with time (and David's charm), she got over that feeling. After love and five years of marriage here they are with two gorgeous little boys.
When I first met Laura we were five years old, embarking on our first day of kindergarten together. Distance melted away in both of these instances to bring us all together for a warm winter day of capturing this fun family. What a joy to photograph an old friend with children that are almost the age Laura and I were when we first met. Laura and I parted ways when she went off to another Jr. High School but through the beauty of Facebook we have become buddies once more! (To see our kindergarten picture, you'll need to check my Facebook page.)
I did a sneak peak of my all time favorite photo of just Laura and David a little while back, which you can see here. (They have been so patient while I was getting better.) Here are some of my favs from our time in the park.
