Who Will She Root For…

February 14, 2010 – 8:50 am

Sweet baby “E” is proof that beautiful things can really happen when a Red Sox  and a Yankee fan come together, fall in love,  get married and start a family.  The question is,  who will baby “E” root for?  Daddy is a Red Sox fan,  Mommy is a Yankee fan, and they are all currently living in Yankee country.  Baby “E” is 6 weeks young and just one well loved little girl, especially by her puppy dog “Daisy,” who gave me the best greeting at the door when I arrived. Baby “E” ran the show while Daisy supervised, they did a wonderful job.

Thank you again to the family for inviting me to come in and photograph you beautiful little girl.  (GO SOX!!!)

New Paltz Times…

February 11, 2010 – 5:05 pm

I was recently contacted by Megan Labrise of the New Paltz Times to discuss my involvement with Lenses of Love, a fundraiser for Haiti orphans.  Charity is a very important part of my life, so I jumped at the opportunity to be involved when my friend Sally Clark asked me to be apart of this endeavor.  We all go through our struggles at time, but we always have to remember, there is always someone in a worse situation.   The article came out yesterday so if you have a chance, be sure to pick up a copy.  Thank you to Megan and Laurent to taking the time to meet with me.

Firetruck…

February 9, 2010 – 11:09 pm

I love vintage and things with texture, so when I drove by this vintage firetruck, I knew I needed to stop and check it out.   I have driven by it on several occasions and thought how I would love to bring my boys here to take some pictures.  Well on this day I didn’t have my boys with me, but I did have my camera.  It isn’t often that I take the time, or get the time,  to photograph objects and really look deep into the substance of it.  Looking deep into an old truck like this makes you question its history.  Where has it been, what has it seen, who drove it, etc?  The beauty of photographs, it brings history back to life.

A Birthday Celebration…

February 7, 2010 – 10:07 pm

A couple weeks ago I got an email from this young lady asking me to  do a photoshoot to celebrate her 17th birthday with all of her closest friends.  I thought, “How Fun!”  I would have loved to do so something like this when I was in High School.   I actually got the pleasure of meeting the birthday girl and her mom prior to our shoot.  As I got to talking to her, I discovered she too has a passion for photography and is even looking to study it when she goes away to school.  Not only does she have a passion for photography, but modeling as well.  She, as well as her friends, made my job so easy and did an awesome job working the camera.  What wasn’t easy on us was the weather.  It was a bit chilly out but at least we didn’t get the snow storm they were talking about for 2 days.

And if you ever find yourself in the Kingston area, swing by Dolce.  It is a great little cafe with a killer homemade hot chocolate with homemade marshmallows and homemade whip cream, YUMMY!

Project 52, Details…

February 4, 2010 – 3:43 pm

I was trying to kill 2 birds with one stone with this photo.  One, my Project 52 assignment of “Details” and 2, my son’s Valentine’s picture.  Last year we did the lollipops, this year I wanted to do something different.   I thought well, I could have him hold a cut out heart, nah.  Then it occurred to me, why not paint a heart in his hand.  I always tell Brayden he is my heart, this time he is holding it.   The biggest challenge of this photo was trying to get a 4 year old to stay still for 2 minutes so I could paint a heart in his hand.

Redecorating…

February 3, 2010 – 2:06 pm

I don’t know how many times I have talked about canvases and how much I love them, so if you haven’t heard, “I LOVE CANVASES!”  To show how much I love them, I decided to redecorate my office and the walls of Waddle n Swaddle with all canvases. Sorry frames, bye bye!   I have a couple more walls I want to decorate, but I wanted to give you a peek at what I have up so far.   Of course, if you are in the area, please swing on by!

One of my favorite canvas clusters, main image 20×24, side images 11×11.
