Henry take 2

November 7, 2008 – 1:27 am

Edited to add - I just have to add this.  I had a mom in my studio today that asked if I really had a guy like ‘that’ in my studio.  Almost like ‘Did you really take that?’ or ‘Is he really that um well shaped?’  I laughed.   Harley all that working out paid off!!!

I posted some pictures of Henry but during my server problems last week it got deleted.  So, I’ll do some more!

Henry’s daddy Harley is a real trooper!   My studio was hot the day we photographed Henry, about the opposite of when we did their engagements pics.  It was the Saturday of Tulip Time a few years ago, I think we started when it was 30ish degrees.  Average that with my hot studio and it is a comforable 70ish. 

I adore many things about Heny, including his momma!!!!.   Check out his amazing chin.  He has character alread!!!

Meet Henry again!

Mild winter says the wooly bear!

October 14, 2008 – 11:03 pm

 I found this on the internet 

“As folklore goes – you need to look at the black hairs at each end of this tiny creature. Legend has it that the more black hairs a wooly bear has, the worse off the winter. If the caterpillar has more orange, then the winter will mild.”

Don’t hold me to it, but I’m seeing a lot of orange!!!!

I wish….

October 11, 2008 – 2:53 am

 I hear this alot.  A parent of older children, seniors etc walks in and sees framed newborn images all over my living room waiting to be picked up.   I see them look, a longing in their eyes and then they say “I wish”. 

I know what is coming next, I have heard it so many many times.  I wish for me too.  I wish I had been doing photographing when my boys were little.  I wish I had been photographing when Lauren and Zachary were little.  I wish I had been photographing when Grant and Kara were little.  I wish I had been photographing when Adam and Olivia were little. 

Uggg you get the ‘picture’.  It is so hard to go back and look at the pictures from when my boys were little that I have all stuffed in a box.  Pictures where feet were covered up.  Pictures where I spent more time looking for the outfit than focusing on the baby.   My deep regret makes me run in the opposite direction and do for others what I wish I had.  What I long for. 

What I wish for.

Why I love seniors….

October 7, 2008 – 12:52 am

This will be the first of several posts on why I love my seniors……

 1.  Talks on the couch

I love my living room furniture.  It is big, comfortable and squishy.  My Emily picked it out for me at Store for Homes in Newton - big plug for some of my favorite people!   I saw a picture and said sure.  I’m easy.   What I easily agreed to was a place.  A place where many a conversation would evolve.  A place where legs would criss cross in comfortable fashion emptying one’s soul to me.  The art of photographing someone can be very special as can be the friendships that result.    I treasure them all.

2.  Talks at the front door

What didn’t get talked through on the couch moves to the front door.  The door Bret and I found out in the back shed when we moved into our house 16 years ago.  The door covered with many layers of white paint that we scraped and scraped with knives to get the chips out of the egg crate design.     I have stood by that door for hours finishing up any last bit of talk.

 3.  Hugs on the front porch

 There is nothing better than making someone feel beautiful.   I’m a hugger and love it when someone gives me the big squeeze in response to the pictures and the friendships we have created. 

More reasons to come……

I’ll start posting 2009 seniors soon but for now a quick one….

Miss C, who along with her momma, made sure I took time out with my boys and to go to the fair, who have checked on my over and over to make sure I was ok, and while going through their own pain,  just plain loved me up.
