Paris Day 1

It is so true that every room in Paris has a great view of the Eiffel Tower. But I loved the view from the gardens the best. You really were able to see the scale & beauty of it there.

The ficade of the Louvre was so beautiful. We caught it at sunset so it was warm & stoic at the same time.

Settle Xmas card shoot 2009

I seem to procrastinate more & more each year in getting my images for my personal christmas card. My intention this year was to have a family photo done but as you can see we never made it. I will be putting this on my new years resolution list! Here are a few I shot last week, BTW none of these made the card. You have to wait to get yours to see the top pics from the session.

Update

Since returning from Europe it has been a whirlwind. Reuniting with the kids, catching up on editing and fall family shoots put me a bit behind. I just downloaded the photos from Paris & this is the first shot I took of the tower. It was amazing to see in person. I know most of the French consider it an eyesore on the city but it is magnificent for us tourists. There will be so many more photos to come as soon as I get through them.

Elizabeth

I was so thrilled when Elizabeth contacted me to shoot her senior photos.  There is a TON of competition for this market.  Not only did she want to start at the barn where she rides:) but I had photographed her sister a few years ago and adore this family.  I dont know how they do it but these girls are remarkable.  Not only are they beautiful and comfortable in who they are, they also have the brains to go with it.  I hope I can do as good of a job with my children.  

We had a great time shooting at Celebration Farms and then on to Lebanon.  Elizabeth was so sweet to laugh at my lack of good jokes and they even made me cookies......YUMMY

It really warms my heart to have clients that I truly connect with.  It is really the best part of my job.

Kristen

So senior shoot are fast becoming one of my favorite sessions to shoot. I love taking them around town discovering all of the interesting places to shoot. Kristen was up for anything. When we got to our first location she said " I am not photogenic, so you will have to help me" Are you kidding me???? She is stunning! We had a blast and I know she got a kick out of me being so excited & such a dork to shoot her pics. Oh & by the way I think her beauty runs in the family;)

Congratulations Carol

My sister just earned an achievement award earning her a Platinum club designation. I volunteered to update her head shot for the occasion. Isn't she gorgeous?

Eleven

I can't believe that my son has turned 11! I dosent seem that that much time has passed since I held him in my arms for the first time. It is such a joy to see him develop from a child into a young man. As a parent I think you always wonder what your child will be like as an adult and I can now see some of his traits coming through. He is very sincere and loyal, he is a good friend and he is one of the funniest people I know. Happy Birthday Barrett.

He was a little self conscious of his braces.

We went to Flying Pizza for lunch. His Favorite!

He had to wait for it to cool off.....always trying to get a laugh. He is too funny!
