Happy Memorial Day always seems a bit strange to me to say - but Happy Belated Memorial Day. I spent mine swimming (for 10 minutes!) in a freezing pool (not QUITE swimming weather here in Sacramento) but I was determined to fully enjoy my freedoms that my little brother, Major Little Brother, and his wife, Second Lieutenant Sister-in-Law fight everyday for. Swimming and BBQ and family made for a very nice day.......Thank you to ALL our soldiers......

I am squeezing in a few blog minutes before my next Maternity Session with J and M. They are expecting their first baby - a boy! M tells me she loves black and white and wraps so we’ll see what adventure we can find!

My session last week with K and S was awesome as I knew it would be. They were so lovely they even hung out for a bit after our shoot and we chatted about things great and small - most of which is not fair game for my blog! lol.....I will tell you, however, I was entertained by K’s stance on fluoride in public drinking water.....yes, I am that kind of nerd.....I brought it up.......I am working on their images and I LOVE them.....as a couple they were fun and playful and bold. They expect to feel comfortable sharing their whole session and I hope they stick to that because we had some fun - certainly not “I got these taken at the mall” pics here.....

On Thursday I’ll see J and C.....okay, I better see C.....she is due very soon with baby #2 and according to J she is looking different to him within the last few days......wait for me Baby!!!!!! I have joked before no one has ever gone into labor in my studio but I am ready for new experiences so I’ll let you know after if we make it!

Okay, here is a quick mini-peak at K and S......I’ll share more after they have had a full day to look at their own gallery!

Okay - here for a quick moment of silly all-about-me-ness........After using the same headshot for nearly two years I broke down today and asked my fabulous husband and fellow photographer to snap me.....yikes....NOT my fav - I so like being behind the lens much better but I did manage to have some fun. The first one is what I am considering the real deal - that is me....the second I laughed thinking about doing, laughed while doing and am still laughing about to be honest. It is my “Trust-me-to-take-your-portrait-because-I-have-camera-in-my-picture-and-I-processed-it-with-these-cool-affects” headshot. Apparently every photographer needs one of these on their website.......I’ll throw it up and laugh about it - hope it makes you laugh too!
