90% chance of rain didn’t dampen our spirits. . .

After a morning of steady rain, the sun came out and gave us a perfect day for a beautiful fall photo shoot with two awesomely cooperative cuties. . .

I have always wanted to do a silhouette family photo and a bad backlight situation made this one easy. . .

Seniors . . . Kalikah

Maybe the fact that I’ve known Kalikah since she was a little peanut singing in the children’s choir makes me old, but we had fun running around town to hit some fun locations before the sun went down. . .

Just testing out this new layout to see how big I can make the photos.

my fave pics of 2008 . . . part 1

I realized that if I was going to wait to post this until I had all of my favorite photos sorted and re-sized, it would probably coincide with my favorite photos of 2009 blog.

And I need to get busy – stay tuned for some new, exciting things around here!

So here’s round 1:

the wait is over . . .

I have been waiting to love, cuddle and of course, photograph this little guy FOREVER. Okay, for several months. I not only got to spend some time with my nephews (and their parents), I got to do it by myself. I spent 2 days driving by myself, I stopped in at Powell’s Books & IKEA by myself, and I had two nights where I had no teeth to brush, no kids to wrestle into PJs and no kids crawling into my bed at 4 AM. As good as it was to get away (for the first time), it was even better getting home. Now my head is still spinning a little and I’m trying to figure out where to start on the mountain of things I have to do, but it was worth it.

I had heard that if you keep the room warm enough, you can photograph a sleeping newborn in several different poses without them waking up. Turns out it’s true – Eliot was so mellow and so cooperative both awake and asleep.
