"Daniel" - Senior Year

I love portrait shooting. Daniel's senior shoot was no exception. Shooting Daniel's photography at his grandparents beautiful farm homestead, we traveled from one destination to another in their golf cart! It was a beautiful piece of property and an ideal locations to take these pictures of Daniel the "country boy." I need to find me more seniors to take pictures of in my area! This was so much fun! I am currently working on a portrait program that I will be launching this fall :) :) more info to follow then; maybe then I'll get my wish for "more."

Friends Forever - Playground Fun

These two are pretty much adorable beyond all measure! I was on my way to Texas, stopping by a friends in Oklahoma, and when I saw Brookelynn and Sasha playing “out back” I couldn’t resist scrambling for my camera and taking about a million shots! Here are a few highlights. We had the time of our lives playing house, (yes I crawled into the house to have “dinner” ) playing with the dog, riding bikes, playing in the pink sand box, and the grand finale…. (drum role please) …feasting on nerds! Yumm

Actually - these pictures are very “yumm” if you ask me

"West Side Market" - A Cleveland Treasure

My awesome sister-in-law and I spent the afternoon at West Side Market in Cleveland yesterday. It had been over a year since I was there. I was reminded of how much I love it! The smells, the sights, the sounds… the food! We wondered around the market, a local book store, and an art gallery. We then had coffee at a quaint old place that could never be defined anything less than “timeless.” Among our purchases were: 1. Dried fruit (a personal favorite of mine) 2. Fresh bread 3. Cheese 4. Black Current Tea 5. Biscotti 6. Fresh Pasta (which Jaime bought) and 7. Books (also a purchase of Jaime) Most of all - I loved spending time with my sis-in-law.

"Chicago" - A Photographer's City

The great thing about Chicago is that it's overcast some 80% of the time. That means a lovely cloud overhang serves me every time I go so that almost any time of the day is "photographer time" - no harsh shadows because of the glaring sun. One of my favorite cities and probably one I have visited the most, these are shots from a semi-recent trip. Already in my head I am planning another visit... hmm let see, April? May? Nope... I just might have to wait until fall :)
