The New Blog!

The time has come.  I’ve moved to a new blog. I’m not completely settled in yet – still lots of decorating to do, but it’s starting to look like a home. Things look a little different, all the links aren’t completely up and working quite yet, so hang in there with me. I’ll keep my [...]

The New Blog is Coming

I know I’ve been saying this for ages now, but I really am moving to a new blog. A big, nice, professional blog where all my pictures can be displayed BIG and I will have cool stuff like a moving header and cool menus and lots more room so I don’t have to write long [...]

Pirates and Aliens and Monsters and Snakes

I don’t know what it is about little boys. They seem to be able to make swords out of anything…broomsticks, straws, wooden spoons…if it’s long and pointy and within reach, it becomes a medieval form of weaponry.
I spent last Saturday with a sword (random stick) swinging little pirate who bravely fought against imaginary aliens and  monsters, as well [...]

Scheduling & Sneak Peeks

Since I receive requests for sessions frequently, asking me my availability, I just thought I would do a brief little post to let you know how things are shaping up for spring and summer.
At present, I am booked through May. Most of my weekends in June are also booked, however, I am accepting weekday appointments [...]

Flying Monkeys

This session was actually scheduled for Sunday, but because we were looking at a dreary forecast for Sunday (which came true), we rescheduled it for Friday instead. Unfortunately, despite the sunny skies on Friday, we also got Toto and Dorothy winds. I’m pretty sure I saw some flying monkeys at one point. Or maybe my blood sugar [...]

18

Ah, to be 18 and have the whole world at your fingertips. I remember that feeling.  I have to say it’s so much fun to be around my senior clients and experience that excitement secondhand. What school to go to?  What career to follow?  How cool is it going to be living on my own????!!!!   [...]

In the Beginning

And so it begins. The Chicagoland weather is finally starting to perk up a bit and look a little  like something called Spring. And boy am I glad!  After a long, grueling winter, I’m ready to be back in action and outside with my camera again. And there was no better way to kick off the season than [...]

Coming Soon…

What a great weekend to start the photo shooting season!  If only the weather would stay like this every weekend.
Full blog posts are coming soon, but here is a little peek at a couple sessions from this weekend.  I gotta be kind to my patient parents…

Spring Peek

Oh Spring, how I love thee, let me count the ways…

My heart jumpeth for joy.

Inspiration

You may not know this, and I almost hesitate to share this about me, but I am…most definitely…a blog stalker.
That’s right. I stalk blogs. Not just any blogs – but photography blogs. GOOD photography blogs. I have a massive list in my AOL favorites column of blogs that I saved, and I check them often. Sometimes [...]
