Leaving on a jet plane

We're heading to the airport today for 16 days in Chicago. Any orders received during that time will not be filled until after January 4.

Have a wonderful holiday season and here's to a wonderful 2008!

Happy Holidays!

Finally finished our holiday card .....

Gearing up for the holidays.

How bad is it that I haven't taken my own kids Christmas picture yet? I've got his outfit all ready, it's just that everyday I'm ready to go do it it rains and now the sun is too strong... soon.

In fun news, we're going to the Hard Rock Cafe tomorrow to have breakfast with Santa and enjoy the music of our favorite kids band.. check them out, they're in my kids gallery on the site. Then it's off to Paul's office for their family party. Then Sunday practice for the Christmas pageant. Busy busy weekend.

And just because I have to do it for Bryan -- 12 days til we go to Chicago.

Discounted Prices

I wanted to let everyone know that my session fee is currently reduced to $30 until the end of 2007.
Also, with a signed release you get a low-res (not print quality) CD of all images that are in your gallery.

It's been a while.

I've pretty much neglected this blog since setting it up. Bad, bad me. From here on out I will be better at it. *promise*

So, what have I been up to? Learning, practicing, shooting. Working on design. Hey, did you take a minute to look at the new and improved website? Changes are going to happen all the time so be sure to check back often!

Oh, and for those that are interested in pictures? Drop me a line. My session fee is currently reduced by 50% (to $30!) until the end of the year with a signed release. Drop me a comment, an email or a comment on the blog or the site.

Baby H's Baptism

Our beautiful nephew was baptized in June of 2007. Of course I had my camera glued to me and this is my favorite shot. Baby H and his Uncle/Godfather..

and then of course I had to play some more (but that top one is the first edit I did of it and it won 1st place in Java Mama's Photo Contest.)

An example of editing

In June of 2007 we traveled to San Francisco to our nephew, Henry, be baptized. This is a picture I snapped of Baby Henry and his Uncle/Godfather.

Straight from the camera:


And here are various edits...

Day One

Well, another blog to add to my list of things I try to keep updated. Starting soon I will try to start a photo-a-day concept here. I'll also do my best to keep you all updated on what I'm doing with my photography. I've learned so much since I picked up a camera seriously for the first time last year. It's amazing what time, reading and trial and error can do for me. I still am finding my direction and learning more.
