What about trains and little boys?

I love repeat business. It's the best. The subject, (you) already knows the photographer, (me) and we know how each other works. I know when you get nervous in front of the camera your shoulders rise towards your ears. Most of my clients, maybe not you, are directionally challenged and get confused with turn left and right, so I remember to point or nod in the direction that I mean. And after all half of the time I mean my right which would be your left so I probably create the confusion. But even better than that, if you have chosen me to be your photographer again, it's the highest form of compliment. The product you received from one of my photo sessions was one that you wanted to repeat. Thank you and tell all your friends. Well, not all your friends, just the ones you like.

Nothing sweeter than a little girl....

I love to "colorize" photos. It came in really handy with these little girls. Mom was a little concerned that her choice of color sort of clashed with theirs. No worries, we just change the tone and make everyone blend. It also gives that feeling of timelessness. The collars are different and the texture is modern but the feeling is reminiscent of photographs of times gone by. And that's what a photograph should be, a memory. A little slice of time preserved and cherished. Call me, let's cherish someone you love. Okay, I agree, let's wait until it stops snowing.

Thank you!!! Technology....

As I mentioned before, it's snowing outside. It's cold out there, but I have a new furnace and shelter and access to the internet, so I don't care. I can manipulate my pictures in photoshop or download songs to my mp3 all within the comfort of my home and never be bored. Technology sometimes gets a bad rap and I will concede it's not all good. So choose the "better part" and avoid the rest. It's all about choices. Stay bundled up, be well and think of me enjoying some hot coacoa in about a half hour. Yum.

The healing power of time....

I think it only fitting that I mention time when posting these pictures. 1) It's been over a year since I took them. And 2) I haven't posted in a very long time. I've always been aware that I either have time to blog or time to take pictures. Today, with the snowing falling in inches, except for the one or two families waiting to take "snow" pictures, my calendar shoud be free for a little while. Having just Survived the holidays (I used the big S for a reason), I am pondering universal acceptance and unconditional love. That's what families are supposed to teach us. So if you have a family member that treats you badly and is unkind, what then? The best part of time is knowing it's 12 months until the next holiday season. If you can't be kind to your family members, then treat them the way you do your friends. There will be more smiles and far less tears.
