Vicki and Scott, a wonderful couple that I got the great privilege of working with at their January wedding. The bride looked absolutely stunning! Vicki and Scott found each other after both losing their spouses. It’s is sad to think about but at the same time, so amazing to see the love they shared and how happy they make each other. I was honored to be their wedding photographer. Congratulations to you both! I hope you had a wonderful honeymoon in London!

This week’s photo challenges were really fun, but a little more challenging to find creative subjects since I am 1.) no longer traveling, and 2.) back to work and busy life. Here goes!
Day 8:: A Bad Habit. As I looked at the list to see Day 8 to read “bad habit,” I took a drink of my Diet Coke w Lime and thought, this day’s going to be hard! I don’t have many bad habits…the irony! I’ve been experimenting with textures, if you can’t tell. Also, this was taken on our kitchen’s butcher block island, and you may notice that someone got a hold of the crayons when I wasn’t looking. Thank goodness for the Magic Eraser!

Day 9:: Someone I Love. Well my heart is tied, fifty-fifty, with my two girls. But I just love her squinty-eye smile! We thoroughly enjoyed a few days of warmer weather last week!

Day 10:: Childhood Memory. Candyland. Did you ever wonder why there was no candy in the box?

Day 11:: Something Blue. I’ve always wanted a little jewelry dish in my bathroom. I finally found the perfect one when we were in Santa Monica.

Day 12:: {after} sunset. Someone just turned three!

Day 13:: Yourself with 13 Things. This day was tricky. I”m pretty sure there are at least 13 things in this picture.

Day 14:: Eyes. I love a good picture with a strong focus on the eyes, yet not overly edited (I learned this the hard way).

‘Till next week!

Isn’t he the cutest little man? Little Vinny is another of my awesome baby planners who came in for his 6-month session last weekend. LOVE the outfits and hats! Just the right mix of simple and style. At six months, I like to do about half of the pictures in the nude, and half in clothes. Can’t wait to see him again for his 9-month pictures!

I had the brilliant idea this Christmas to start the new year with a new challenge – a 30 Day Photography Challenge! This is something that’s new to me I thought it would be fun to “exercise” my skills as a photographer, and just have fun with my camera (and Photoshop!).
You can follow my progress on my Pinterest board, or here on my website. {side note: are you new to Pinterest? It’s the greatest thing, you should Follow My Board! It’s basically a virtual “pinboard” where I find and collect a LOT of my creative inspiration.). We had the opportunity to travel quite a bit during the Christmas season, so I had some fun taking pictures outside of my usual suburb (Disney World and Hong Kong for those who are curious).

Day 1 :: Self-Portrait. This was challenging! Surprisingly, I don’t own a tripod and I have very few recent pictures of myself.

Day 2 :: What I Wore. My Mother’s Day present last year. If you haven’t tried a pair of Frye boots, I totally recommend them!

Day 3 :: Clouds. Okay, it was partly-cloudy. I am a huge fan of sun-flare (if you haven’t been able to tell).

Day 4 :: Something Green. This was my favorite day so far! I found so many “green” things to photograph, I had a hard time choosing which one to use! This is my youngest daughter, Clara. We took her to Disney world on her first birthday. I’m not in the habit of giving my one-year-old candy, but my what you’ll do to get a napless baby to be quite. 🙂 Don’t you just love her front teeth? She now has approximately 5.5.

Day 5 :: From A High Angle. Yes, we took our kids on a 7am fight in their ‘jammies. If you look closely, you can see Clara’s head at the bottom (I guess I have to admit I also let my kids crawl around on the icky airport carpet!).

Day 6 :: From a Low Angle. Enter Hong Kong, if you can’t tell. This city was absolutely amazing. I love the chaos of the random street. You would never guess there are about four Louis Vuitton stores within a few blocks of this street!

Day 7 :: Fruit. This was a fun one. This is from the fruit bowl we got in our welcome basket at the hotel. The top was a clementine (duh) and the bottom was something new to me – tasted like an apple, had the texture of a pear. Not sure what that one’s called!
