As the boys napped yesterday I busted out with the bees again. Margaret was my model but soon got tired of it.

So I began practicing on myself…which is hard to do seriously.

Finally the boys woke up so I turned on Happy Feet. This was a sure bet to keep them in one place while I adjusted my lights and figured things out.

Swarmed by bees

January 30, 2008

That is right my photo friends…I house was swarmed by bees today! Of the alien kind! With the funds from selling my beloved bus (and a couple fab photo sales to boot) I finally felt like I was able to justify getting some lights. I have no clue what I was doing. Def need to get some practice in. The boys were sleeping…Margaret didn’t want to cooperate…but I managed to bribe Aaron out of 5 shots. Here was my fave.

Oh…and to my non photog friends…AlienBee is the brand of the lights :)

Look at me…I’m on a roll with posting this week!

I was going through the archives tonight and was surprised that I never shared these!

This was about 5 mos ago

I’ve had way too much wine the past couple of days

From when I met up with Shannon back in Nov…I need to cool this off a bit.

Some friends came over for dinner last night and the boys got all curried up…so into the bath they went!

Job liked to show Sharaun his feet

SF Urban

January 22, 2008

I know I know…I haven’t done any pics of the boys in over a week! I’m trying to keep session pics on my business blog but I can’t help but share these here. These two drove all the way from Bakersfield saturday for an urban session in SF. It was a ton of fun and a nice change from the more traditional park photos I am used to!

I had the pleasure of shooting Mr. Colton today! It was a messy session but fun all the same. He is such a cutie!

It has been a busy past couple of days!

Friday we met some buddies, including Keaton, at the Bounce Spot for some good ‘ol fashion bouncing fun.

Saturday we went to the city to the exploritorium. The boys are still a bit young but had a blast nonetheless.

Afterwards we headed to the park where Job decided to hog the tube.

Finally on to Hippie Hill where we were greated by the rhythmic beats of drums and an unmistakable smell…

Stormy Weather

January 7, 2008

A massive storm blew in here friday morning, flooding the streets, taking down trees, and causing massive power outages. We went to my favorite photo spot yesterday and was surprised by the damage!

Trees were uprooting every where

Ten perfect toes

January 5, 2008

I am an affliated photographer for a very special organization called Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. We provide photography for those dealing with infant loss. While not for everyone, bereavment photography can aide in the healing process by preserving a memory of how the baby actually looked (memory can disort reality, often unpleasantly), and confirming their existence.
I was called yesterday for not one but two seperate sessions. One was gestationally very young but the other was nearly to term and perfect in every way. Please check out Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep here and consider showing your support…and then go hug your babies.
