At the table

Tuesday is the slowest eater E.V.E.R. We spend hours at this table. So of course I sit her in the spot with the best light and get out my camera to fiddle around with it while she finishes up. Breakfast = “bbbbbeeee” cereal (signed, she can’t say that word yet). bbbbbeeee = cold cereal. Usually …

The Basement – the other side

The “other side” of my basement is really my work side. I don’t shoot down here but this is where I meet with clients and show them their images (with a fancy new projector). I love the space! This was that same view before: Besides the couch the biggest change is the skirt around my …

The basement: the play side

Ok, I still have  a project for the back wall, but I want to share this side of the basement as it stands now: And here is the before: (from a little further back). If only you could see the sweat and tears in those flor tiles, they look exactly the same! Because I am …

Classic Newborn

Yesterday was my dear friend Tracy’s birthday. To celebrate she asked that it be the day she viewed slideshows. I recently (2 weeks ago) shot the birth of her son, Peter. What an amazing experience. I was honored that she let me be there, and that she wanted the slideshow to be her special birthday …

The Poof

That’s what Tuesday is calling beanbags these days, poofs. I decided to make a giant poof for my sweetest littlest clients: the newborns. Originally I thought the big FatBoy bean bag we got would work, but it’s just too floppy and not filled enough. Plus Tuesday adopted that for her room. I looked into buying …
