Beautiful newborn!

I just finished up with Miss C. a few days ago. What a beautiful girl! Here's a couple more of her.

A couple more of the bubbles

Just one or 2 more.

The blurry little guy with the pointy hat in the background is Gunnar--our Norwegian lawn gnome. He keeps our garden faeries safe from the trolls!

Bubbles and Bokeh

So, on the May long weekend, my sister-in-law came over, and she and Taegyn got to playing with bubbles. They had a great time!

For those of you that don't know, "bokeh" is a term used in photography to describe a very shallow depth of field. These pictures are a perfect example of really great "bokeh"!

Thanks Denise, for being such a good sport!!!!

Beautiful Newborn

I had the opportunity to photograph the gorgeous Miss. C. last weekend. She was such a little doll---slept right through the entire shoot! Many thanks to her Mommy for inviting me into their home. I had a wonderful time! Here's a sneak peek for you!

My Boys

Here's the photo tiles my boys and I made for me!

My little Italian, Mother's Day, and other stuff

So I've finally finished up with The beautiful Dario. He's such a cutie-patootie! Diana, if you're checking the blog, send me an e-mail!

As everyone knows, yesterday was Mother's Day. I always get spoiled. I have the best husband and kids in the world!!!! I sleep in, Darcy made "big breakfast" for us, then we all piled into the van for the traditional trip to my favorite greenhouse, where I spend too much money on plants! Each year, the kids all pick a perennial that is theirs for the garden. Then Darcy makes supper for me, and the kids clean up. And I get to do whatever I want. We had my sister-in-law here, as well as my oldest son's girlfriend for a dinner of homemade chicken cordon-bleu, roasted red peppers, greek salad, and bbq potatoes, good wine, good company.... Yup, life is good!

We did a little project for the dayhome kid's Moms last week. We had a photo shoot in my living room, and then had prints made. Then the kids and I used Mod Podge to glue their photos to ceramic tiles to give to their Moms. Here is the result, along with another glimpse of Dario.

Maternity marketing......

O.K. I LOVE being a photographer. It would be so great to do nothing but shoot all the time. Unfortunately, there are alot of other things that go along with running a photography business, most of which I don't enjoy nearly as much as making beautiful pictures! One of them is all the marketing stuff! That's what has been consuming so much of my time lately. I'm working on a marketing package that will showcase the maternity & newborn facet of my photo-biz. I wish I could just wiggle my nose and have it all come together!!!!!

So here's the new business card!
