A while back, I advertised a special on my Facebook Business Page. I was itching to go out and shoot more of the images I love. The type that can go on your wall forever. The type that as your family age become even more special, and don't feel dated. The type of image that I hope will be hanging up years down the road as a tribute to the past. The session was for a piece of art. A simple session designed to create a personal piece of beautiful art for your home. No digital files to worry about where to print, or what to do, not 600 photos to weed through to find the best, just beautiful art ready to hang. The client leaves the session knowing that they will have a few hand selected thoughtfully curated images to pick from, and a ready to hang beautiful professional canvas arriving at their door ready to hang. It makes for a fantastic gift.

Last night, I did one of these special sessions. The mother wanted a way to create something for her s=daughters. Her twin daughters. We talked quite a bit over email, and came up with a plan. We had to check the weather many afternoons, and were hoping for the "right" tide, and "right" clouds. After three failed attempts, we were able to make it out last night, and I captured this lovely image. I'm looking forward to seeing if this is the image the family selects for their canvas, and I'm looking forward many more sessions where the goal is one outstanding piece of art for the client's home.

Thanks guys for humoring my fun! I haven't been shooting as much as I should be, so she's a great excuse to play. My shoot tonight looks like it is going to be canceled again, and it is just the fault of the weather. Nothing else, so playing in the sink is providing me with a much needed creative outlet! #blog

Today, I got to spend the morning with my 8 month old niece. She is into everything. I thought it would be fun to follow her around with my camera this morning, and capture her life (I'll make her a little book for when she's older). This is only about 1/3 of what she got into in the hour we spent while big brother was at preschool with mom. I adore this age, but I forget how much work it is. What a great time we had. Her favorite find was a glass cup, followed by being intrigued that when she banged two cups together one went flying off. It was a mission to retrieve it. She is just a blast, and a total sweetheart. I was tired after spending one hour with her. Moms of babies, you are superstars in my book. They sure are work. Great work, but work! #blog
