What is it about little girls that makes my heart melt? See why.

Thank you to some amazing handmade toy designers for letting me use their talented work in my shoot. Check out the wood dolls, striped doll, wood blocks, and sewn dolls!

I have been blissfully busy working, balancing, shooting, planning, creating, processing, and just a wee bit of sleeping.

Just one of many images vying for my attention.

blue.

Why is feeling blue so negative when the color blue can be so positive?

I shot these for a wonderful kids clothing company. Details to follow.

Once upon a time.

March 6, 2012

My work is in the Babiekins magazine this month. Go check it out here.
Thanks you Stacie, Lauren, and all the wonderful models for making this shoot so magical.

I was looking forward to sharing these for a while. I shot these with a story in mind. Stay with me as I tell it.

(soft and slow background music.)

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful little girl who loved to dance.

Sadly every now and then a tiny rotten worm of doubt would crawl into her mind.

She needed a reminder to believe. “Believe in yourself, believe in the talent you were granted, believe in your ability to shine.”

So she believed. She believed in her hard work. She believed in her dreams coming true.

The little girl along with her wonderful friends put up a show like they never have before.

Every now and then when that little worm of doubt came back for a visit she remembered to believe.

I look forward to sharing round two with lots of my favorite images from the shoot.

new.

February 20, 2012

Lots of wonderful new things are happening here. I look forward to sharing all of it. Right now though, I am busy getting intoxicated by baby smell.  I can’t get enough of this little miracle, and I can’t wait to see where these feet will take him.

I will be on leave for a bit. Feel free to contact me with any inquiries while I am out.

Hair I am.

January 15, 2012

I know I am a bit late with my wishes but hope that everyone had a wonderful New Year. I hope this year explodes with all the goodness you can ever imagine.  I am looking forward to so many changes and exciting things in 2012. I can’t wait to share.

For now I wanted to share a couple more images from the first shoot of 2012.

Thanks to Cara Camiscioli ( Hair styling) , Stacie Fitzgerald, and all the wonderful models and moms for making this shoot so great! Special thanks to Brooke for being such a great assistant and friend.

Some more haircut heart attacks:

 

And some more crazy fun:
