So Sweet

I received a couple packages this afternoon:  Hand-dipped chocolate strawberries from Shari’s Berries and a fabulously soft Baby Gund bunny from Redenvelope.
My jaw dropped when I saw the gift note on these packages.  They were gifts from a client!
I’ve said it before and you’ll hear me saying it again… I have THE best clients in [...]

The Three Monkeys

Today is Ava’s due date, so I thought I’d muster up the energy to take some photos of my new family of monkeys.
It is hard to imagine carrying Ava until today for she was one jumbo baby that it was difficult to move around!  Thank goodness she came early.
And now that she is here, in [...]

House Call

Ava’s doctor came to our house today for her 1 week old check-up.  Dr Q drove 40 miles to see us.  Shocking, isn’t it?  How many doctors still make house calls?

The second shocking thing about the check-up today is that Ava grew 2″ since birth!  Yep, two INCHES in a week!  That’s just [...]

Coincidence? I think not.

While lying in the comfortable (NOT!) hospital bed only a few hours after I delivered Baby Ava, I found out that my client, Lisa W., was in the same hospital and about to deliver her baby too!
She was due 1 week previous and I was due to deliver in another 2 weeks, so our due [...]

My New Little Monkey

As a photographer, I have so many “favorite” photoshoots…
Photoshoots that had the perfect light; photoshoots of shy kids who ended with giant smiles that surprised even their parents; photoshoots of people who weren’t sure that having a photographer follow them around for a couple hours was something they’d enjoy, but they loved it and do [...]

A Headshot Makeover

I just had some friends over who needed a headshot makeover for their company website or, that’s what I told Kenny when he showed me his newly launched site.  Tee hee.
em Marketing is a marketing, consulting, contracting and coaching firm based in San Francisco.
Here are my top picks from their 5-minute corporate shoot (for each [...]

Deluxe CD Cases

Only the best to showcase and protect your digital artwork!
Made of tin, these deluxe CD cases are durable, sleek and reusable.  I LOVE them and have been searching for them for about 10 months now — ever since I saw a version of this at a photography trade show!

This one is much nicer than the [...]

The Patient Princess

Two years.
That’s how long Melia waited to have a Princess Party!
Yep, she started asking for a princess party since she was 3 years old.  I had an art themed party planned for her 3 year old birthday, and then we skipped the big party thing last year as part of my parent strategy of [...]
