I am so pumped!

I just got back from a 5 day excursion to Phoenix for a photography convention called Imaging USA. It was just what the doctor ordered! I have been so excited to try new ideas and posing techniques. The weather was beautiful and it was so invigorating to be surrounded by over 2300 other photographers. And the toys you can get for photography -- wowee! I could have spent a bazillion dollars there and had to physically walk out before I did.

On Tuesday night we had a presentation by Anne Geddes and wow, is she ever an inspiration and so talented. What a journey she has been on.

Anyway, had to share my excitement for life!

The Taylor Group

What can I say? I had a great time with this family. They had so many "sub-family" types it was really fun -- even a baby that was just barely over 2 weeks old. Have I told you how much I love doing shots of newborns. Too bad it wasn't a full shoot! They had an engaged couple in the mix as well as a newlywed couple. I am sure Mom and Dad were having the time of their life. Thanks so much for letting me share in your fun Rebecca and Todd....

All together again...

I had such a great time with this family. I have known the mom and dad forever, but have finally been able to meet their children. That was such a fun time for me. They were at the end of a family reunion (in fact they said their goodbyes at the studio) and then headed off to each of their own individual parts of the globe. I was glad that were able to get these memories recorded...

Birtcher Family

I had a super time today with this family. You could just tell that they loved each other and loved being in each other company. They had 3 beautiful daughters (from all parts of the US) and a handsome son. Momma Birtcher I bet you are just proud as you can be.






Thanks so much for letting me work with you guys.

A Legacy of Love...

I was asked to take pictures of a friend of mine's mom, Bonnie. I had such a great time. She showed me around her home and I was able to enjoy all of the different things she had done throughout her life. What a woman! She raised 11 children -- at one time she had 3 under the age of 19 months! It makes me tired just thinking about it. At the end of her lineup she was blessed with Ray, a special spirit sent with Down's Syndrome. She told me, she wanted to ALWAYS have a baby and this was her way of having this come true. Thanks Janette for thinking of me. I had a great time.

What do you think?

Changed the background on the blog. What do you think? Drop me a comment and let me know. Thanks a lot for following my blog....

Down by the River...

This little boy's first name was River so it was only natural that we take pics down by the River. Isn't he cute? He was so mellow and happy -- even after having woken from a nap.





Thanks so much you guys for letting me be a part of your memory-keeping. I had a great time!
