Children's Portraits – Milestone for Josh
What’s new with Josh, you ask? Well, he’s growing like a weed… really into how things work, and playing with the vacuum. And he had his first haircut… I am struggling with posting these pictures… it makes me sad to see him so upset, but it was the perfect shot to capture that angst that almost always goes along with a first haircut… Here’s my baby getting his locks trimmed…Holiday Family Studio Portraits – One of our Website Contest Winners!
So excited to have this gorgeous family in the studio! Avid blog readers, they immediately knew the answer to the Partridge Family Trivia question and they earned their free session!!! Lucky we did the session that day, as daddy hurt himself doing yard work (that’s why I leave my yard like a jungle…) and had to go to the hospital. Luckily no major damage, and he’ll recover well! Healing thought go out to you, and here’s another custom card example too!
Baby and Children's Portraits – Mill Valley Event
Early last month, I had a booth at a really fun festival in Mill Valley called Babes & Babies by Appel & Frank. I was lucky I had to work, or I would have gone nuts shopping… So many cute vendors with clothing, strollers, decor ideas, and of course glamorous bellies and babies galore! Special thanks to my friend and awesome event coordinator, Amy, of Oaks & Acorns, for photographing the event, and for coordinating our drawing for the free session (more news about this after Thanksgiving)
Here’s my booth!

Holiday Family Portraits – I have been a busy elf!!
Oh poor neglected blog… it’s hard to believe I have been blogging for almost a year now, and I really love it! I think is just a great way to share sneak peeks with my clients and showcase work for potential clients. I want to say that I am very thankful for my regular readers and I vow to try to keep it interesting into the new year!!!

Personal – Get out and VOTE!!
Ray and I took Josh to the polling place with us today! As I look at my young son, I think of all the sons and daughters over the past few hundred years who sacrificed so that we can have this awesome right to vote safely, and make a difference. In many countries people are held at gunpoint, coerced to vote for who the bullies decide, and are killed every day for standing up for what they believe in. As Americans we are very lucky, and we owe it to ourselves and our children to celebrate our right to vote, and to make the world a better place by not being complacent about our choices. This may very well be the most important election I have voted in since I turned 18. I am proud of my choices, and we’ll sit and wait to see how it all plays out!
