Things That Make Me Nervous...

* Public speaking
* Large crowds
* Walking into a party all by myself
* Cooking for company
* Watching my daredevil boys doing things that are potentially dangerous...

oh wait...

* and photographing other photographers

Inevitably I work myself up into a ball of nerves, but there's something about getting out there, putting the camera up to your face that kind of ... makes it all go away... settings, posing, interacting with little ones all takes precedence and before you know it, you've been out there for 40 minutes and have a CF card full of gorgeous shots. (I really do wish that I could claim that it's 100% me as the photographer...but this family is gorgeous!)

Just a few from Patti's session...









For you photographers out there, Patti is also the owner/creator of Kaleidoscope - A Collection of Color & Light. She's been featured a few times on the MCP Actions blog... most recently here. You should give these a try, they are A LOT of fun!

Until next time,

Mini-Session Sneak Peek... Another New Family! Yorktown Family Photography

When I met this family on Saturday I almost squealed with delight (Really. I do that now and then...usually over shoes or camera gear, but... well...you know). One, they are drop-dead gorgeous, a photographer's dream and.... Two, their little boys are absolutely edible and cute and that baby... oh!... I just want to chomp on his cheeks... nom nom nom.

So we talked for a bit, we played for a while and we took some amazing photographs!











It was so great to meet you guys! I can't wait to show you the rest!!

Mini-Session Sneak Peek... Yorktown Family Photography

I love when I get to spend time with families that are both clients and friends. The last time I photographed this family, sweet baby Timothy was still in his mom's belly. And, to date, this is probably one of my favorite maternity sessions of all time, see HERE to check them out!

What a beautiful family!











Thank-you for being so wonderful!

Until next time,

Life at the Speed of Light...

Have you ever had one of those moments...

You look at a calendar, perhaps offhandedly, and then you realize that... ohmigod... it's October? October?! Really? Wasn't it just July?

Life in this house is non-stop. Just ask our friends who are patient and kind and keep loving us even though we are rarely available for dinner or get-togethers or phone calls... And our family who hear from us in disjointed phone calls in between bath time, story time and bed time... and who are patient and watch the kids grow via facebook...

But even though we are almost constantly tired, we are happy. And we wouldn't have it any other way.

So for this reason (and so many others), I'll be taking a much needed break this holiday season.

See these faces here:


I'm going to spend the holidays reading to them, cuddling on the couch watching 'Home Alone' and 'Elf'...

I'm going to go to bed before midnight...


I'm going to watch this little boy make more of these crazy faces...


And I'm going to try and live life as wide open as he does...

So ... I will be happily re-charged for Spring bookings early next year (watch out for spring mini-session announcements shortly after the holidays)!

Oh and no worries... I'll keep posting to the blog throughout the season!
