What's shakin?

I am a 30 something. Mom to an amazing 8 year old. My husband is my best friend & arch rival. I watch way too much tv. I don't leave home with out my iphone. I love being surrounded by books and working at a library. I am under the false impression that I am a Rock Star. I love the sound of laughter. I don't want you to always say cheese & look at the camera, I want to capture images that will make you forget I was even there.. I will show up in Jeans & teeshirt.. So should you!

Bad Blogger!

Another year gone by..

Posted on August 29, 2011

It is amazing how quickly they grow up.. Even when they aren’t MINE! There is no way it was a year ago that I did Miss D’s 2nd Birthday photos.. And now we’re on year 3! We walked all over University Park, looking at flowers, standing on rocks.. She is a very good tour guide.

Miss D’s nickname is Monkey, she does the BEST monkey dance.. I may have to make a little montage of that to post later..

That outfit was just too cute to NOT post in color.. Those balloons were super fun. Definitely can’t be incognito with those!

In Daddy’s Peterbilt hat

Love your beautiful 3 year old faces.. Looking forward to next year. I hope it doesn’t come as quickly!

No pictures please….

Posted on December 28, 2010

I’m fairly certain that was the theme of this session. Little ones are always on the move, and, I like to shoot what ever they give me. Today Miss Claire was too interested in what was going on around her (mostly my 7 year old daughter) to smile for the camera (aka ME).

There were some very interesting things happening on the floor!

And on her tutu..

This super cute tutu and head band is from Fairy Tutu Boutique you can find her on Etsy.com. Jennifer is a super sweet wonderful military wife, she is helpful creative and gets stuff shipped very quickly. Please check her out next time you’re tutu shopping!

Of course, I can’t post with out some black & white,  and the one time Claire actually did face me..

Thanks Claire, You made me giggle. I had lots of fun watching you explore the studio. Can’t wait to have you come back and play soon!

My Day Job…

Posted on December 16, 2010

I’ve always loved being in libraries. I love being surrounded by all of the books. So I jumped at the chance to work at our base library. I use to think that people who worked at the library were very quiet, calm individuals. BOY was I wrong. I mean, If I always wanted to work in a library, it would make sense that not everyone who worked at one would be quiet and calm. I most certainly am not. I never imagined what CHARACTERS library employees are. There is daily laughter and crazy stories. We are the loudest library i’ve ever been in. I think that’s part of the reason I love my job so much, the other part is that cast of characters I work with.

While trying to take some “nice” pictures for a going away plaque, I snapped this awesome outtake. Outtakes always end up being my favorite. I wish I had managed to get IN this one, but as always i’m behind the lens. I can’t look at this picture with out laughing so hard I cry.

So for anyone else who thinks people who work at a library are quiet boring individuals, let this be a lesson to you… We’re anything but quiet & boring!

Christmas Dream

Posted on November 21, 2010

I never know what I should get Jared for Christmas. The guy has everything, and what he doesn’t have, he buys when he realizes it’s something that is missing in his life..

Here’s an Idea for the rest of you!

I don’t typically photograph weddings. But when a friend asks I just can’t say no.

Congrats Mr & Mrs O!

Miss D, I so enjoyed our time together! Your silly grin, the way you play, your diva attitude. You’re my favorite 2 year old for sure!

Momma D, You are so amazingly beautiful! I had so much fun with you both. Can’t wait to do your family photos soon!
