and posting a total frezy of recent sessions in the last few weeks. Stay tuned. I am truly looking forward to some R&R, setting up the Christmas tree and getting some Christmas shopping done - err I mean finding Santa to give him the lists. ;)
Happy Holidays and have a Blessed New Year.

What's Featured: A special visit from Santa Claus all the way from the North Pole, a fabulous face painter and some beautiful music played featuring strumming and humming with an Acoustic Guitar, Mandolin, Cello and Irish Tin Whistle.
plus some other recent work. It's not too often I get to showcase the dads either. They were such a tightknit loving family from what I observed in the short (but fun) time we were together.
Santa Claus so graciously agreed to stop by my open house at the studio on Saturday, December 1st. Come one, come all. Hope to see you there!
So not only will Santa be there but a face painter and musical performance by Michael L. (he's really good folks) lots of strumming with the guitar and mandolin.
Trying to create the scene here for you. It was simply a beautiful (but windy) day and I was hired to photograph her son. The scene was straight out of a magazine, just breathtaking in and around the property. We were out back near the pool deck and her son who was starting to take steps, reached up and turned on the outside speakers. Out came blaring, "Southern Man" by Neil Young. I am brought back to old memories and it was so much fun to see mom dancing around by the pool deck. Rock and roll continued to play ..
Songs do that to me, they always remind me of a person and place in time. This song will now always remind me of our session. I don't necessarily dig the lyrics themselves but the music and voice gets me every time. What does this picture have to do with the story? Absolutely nothing .. just another beautiful mommy & me moment on their hammock.
I am so sad, we finally had what appeared to be the gorgeous fall colors that us Washingtonians are used to seeing year after year and then ... it rained. So G, consider yourself the lucky one who was able to see these yummy red and orange leaves I wait for every year.
a few more from a session previously shared.
sweet baby G who just underwent emergency abdominal surgery and is still in the hospital. My thoughts are with you C and your sweet beautiful baby girl.

This brother-sister-sister family while at times going in 3 different directions was such a pleasure to photograph.
but alas this is B&W, no fair eh? My client requested B&W with a wee bit of color thrown in. I'll add more in color was well from this session later. I will start with today and work my way back on snippets and sneak peeks.
