vacation

Off for a couple of weeks - ah vacation... other people go skiing or lovely warm climes... me, we go to England... just as cold... wetter... damper... oh well!

So I wish you all love for Valentines (one of my three Valentines in the photo, Lucy, the one I won't be sharing the day with...), happy school vacation week, enjoy...

Year-end slideshows when I'm back...

(oh how I love Lucy! isn't she gorgeous? I think everyone should have beautiful portraits of their dogs!!)

3 already?

John is 3. Unbelievable.

Our session started a little rocky, he was adamant he did not want his photo taken this time, and wouldn't even enter my studio... but I did what you have to do when you're photographing children, I was patient & calm, sometimes alternating with silly & kooky, dancing, singing, all sorts of crazy things, and kept throwing out ideas until he decided it just might be fun to play with me for a while... and play we did, for ages, I couldn't go anywhere near my camera, which was okay, we were having fun. Eventually, I earned his trust, and we had this amazing session. I had such a hard time editing them, I loved them all!

This is my favorite. He is so beautiful. All boy. Just delightful.
