I've Been a Bad, Bad Blogger!

What can I possibly say to excuse myself? My non-blogging ways this past month have cast a giant cloud of guilt over my head. I've been terribly busy shooting, getting organized for the Fall (and pre-holiday) season, coming up with new ideas & lovely thingies to offer my clients and at the end of it all, trying to have a personal life. You know, I don't have kids yet, but I jumped into this business imagining that this would be a perfect way for me to be a stay-at-home mom while holding my own as a successful entrepreneur. I think I may have misconstrued how consuming my work would be! I can't complain, though; when I am up to my head in work, I'm still always smiling from ear to ear because I get to spend my days either with or looking at lovely little creatures that always keep life interesting.

With all that said, I do feel guilty for having been so quiet on the blogfront lately. I'm going to try to be better in the next weeks about keeping you all posted on what's going on at the studio. I unfortunately can't find the time to blog about every client I saw in the past month, but here are glimpses at some of my favorite moments (not to say they weren't all great experiences, of course).



Pugs have become a popular addition to family photos lately! I met this little one back at Natasha & Raffi's maternity shoot. She came back for a family photo when Anya was born but we were a little too afraid to take a chance and try our hand at photos of the newborn with the puppy. However, Leah decided to hop up on the futon to kiss little Anya's head in a split second and before Natasha had a chance to get her away, I got to snap this shot of the two together.



I met this little guy's parents when they were pregnant with him and it was lovely to meet him. I love this photo because the little fists just kill me... such a baby move to be boxing in their sleep!





I was really thrilled with the results of my session with Charleigh, not only because she's a gorgeous little girl that photographed beautifully, but because I was told that she was a very shy little cookie and is usually difficult to photograph. I find it so rewarding to be able to introduce a kinder & friendlier approach to portraiture to little children that can often be intimidated by the process.




My session with Regina's angels was a dream. Both of these kids had really sweet & quirky personalities that made them a joy to photograph. I got some of my favorite beach shots ever from this session, including what has to be my most favorite baby-drama shot EVER.



I never feel anything short of excitement when I get to photograph a brand new little baby; especially when I've already met the family during a maternity session. I was really happy to be able to capture Kate and the bonds that were growing in her family. Seeing toddlers with babies is always a weakness of mine!



Alright, that's it for now but I'll do my best to stay on the blog train to keep you posted on who's been in my viewfinder lately. I hope you're all well, swooshing through those Fall leaves and thinking about the holidays!
