I am starting to work on a new photographic series. A little info (or maybe more like a tease)
— It has huge time constraints
— It is probably one of the most personal projects I will ever work on
Intrigued?
More next week……….

I went to junior high school and high school with Mark Walter and Robin Zander. Mark and Robin are now married and Robin brought Aidan to me recently for new headshots.
I’ve never had the experience until now of two people I knew as a kid having a child themselves.
It’s like seeing Robin and Mark as I remember them as kids all mixed into one kid — Aidan!!

I found this great new company called RedBubble where you can purchase any of my images as a greeting card, canvas print, matted print or framed/matted print. Talk about making my job easy.
I shoot, I upload and they do the rest. Most of the images I have on the site are my floral images but I’m sure as time progresses my repertoire on RedBubble will expand.
In the meantime, enjoy.
As many of you know I’m a big fan of Kolo products. I especially love using their Essex journals.
In honor of Valentine’s Day I created a special Essex journal.
The journal includes images from an engagement session I did with Heidi Jo and Matthew along with some vintage Valentine’s Day postcards, some of my Through the Viewfinder (TTV) images and a quote from George Sand.
This journal can be given to the couple and they can add mementos that have special meaning to them (movie tickets, a pressed flower, a book of matches, photos from a wonderful day spent together) along with notes to each other.
The possibilities are endless.

Envelopments, a fabulous paper company, has started a blog and my photography is featured in a recent entry.
The blog entry highlights the International Printing Museum in Carson, California.
Special thank you to Rachelle Chuang for helping to make this happen. I’m so happy to have met her last year through the Museum. Click here to view the Envelopments blog entry.
Envelopments and my photography together? You just can’t beat it.
Most of the time I separate my professional and personal life but sometimes the lines blur and the death of my Great Aunt Frances Reid is one of those times.
The world knew her as Alice Horton on DAYS OF OUR LIVES but to me she was Aunt Francie. I could go on and on with ridiculously funny stories of things she would say to us when we were kids and someday I’ll share some of those stories.
In the television world she was the quintessential grandmother and in real life she was anything but. Funny how what’s real and what’s on television can be so different.
I have always been the archivist and historian in my family. I’m not sure if that has to do with my love of photography or just that I am an incredibly nostalgic person by nature.
This is one of my favorite early photographs of Francie. I have no idea who took the photograph or what year it was.
As things pop in my head or photographs of her come out of boxes in my house there will be more blog entries.
I was just informed that I have received, for the second year in a row, the WeddingWire 2010 Bride’s Choice Awards for Wedding Photography.
The annual Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and celebrates excellence in quality and service within the wedding industry, as determined by recent reviews and extensive surveys from over 500,000 newlyweds.
