I must admit that they last few months or so have been difficult for me.  Being sick so frequently lately just wore me down and made my mind go places it shouldn’t.  I thought that after receiving positive news about my latest CT scan my mood would change and I would feel free from those tormenting mind games… but the moody feelings continued.  Well that was the case until I shot Daniel and Elizabeth.  I don’t know what lifted my spirits more - the warm golden sunlight that seem to be so perfect that day or maybe it was Elizabeth’s infectious smile… but then again it could have been Daniel’s keen sense of wonder and delight.  Hmmmm… I don’t know for sure what it was but I left this shoot smiling all over and the shoot confirmed that I indeed have the BEST job in the world.  It’s so great to have a job where I am able to meet such wonderful people who touch your life in ways that are totally and completely unexpected.

…ok I am in the middle of editing my next session and my heart keeps racing - why? you ask.  Well there is just that time of day when the lighting is just perfect… it’s simply magical.  It dances around and gently kisses the cheeks of all those it touches… it makes everything and everyone just glow.  Lighting is such an important part of photography - it can really make or break an image.

Well here is a little sneak peek at one of my up coming session where the light stole the show.

Like they say, boys will be boys.  Parker and Spencer are about two of the cutest little dudes I have meet in a while.  Spencer loved being in front of the camera and had tons of idea while Parker worked though the pain which made for a magical photo shoot (poor little guy had an earache). 

Don’t let these two gunslingers scare you off… they are both almost too sweet to handle.

Jack just celebrated the big ONE - yahoooooo!

 Hmmm…. can you even begin to guess what the theme of his party must have been?  Jack comes form a long line of pilots and from the look of things, I think that he is well on his way to follow in that tradition.

Happy Birthday Jack!

More of this handsome little guy coming soon.
