Catch Up

It's 5:38 am, and I am awake.  That is to say, I am still awake.  I am no stranger to insomnia.  It's something I've dealt with most of my life.  Is it annoying? Yes! Are there worse things? Yes! In fact, occassionally insomnia will turn out to be a blessing in disguise.  Some of my most productive and creative moments happen when I can't sleep.  Go figure.
Anyway, I got home Saturday evening after a sublime vacation to Panama City, Florida and am now trying to figure out how I can possibly get back into my normal rhythm after so much relaxation! I've decided to start by doing a catch up post.  I really wanted to blog about each and every session individually, but April was almost as busy as November was for me.  So please forgive me for the mass post.
 A big fat thank you to all my wonderful clients this spring! You were all sensational to work with!

Oh,Those Faces!

Confession- sometimes I sit down at the computer to edit a session, and I discover photos that I had no idea I captured! That is exactly what happened with this session.  I was mystified (and extremely pleased) to see all these fun little expressions that some how ended up on my camera.  I know I've already shared some of these photos, but I just can't help it! He's so cute!

Exciting Stuff

I know it's been a while since I've posted, but that's because I'm working on and developing all kinds of photography projects. I am just brimming with excitement about some of the things I'll be doing in the future! More details will follow as those things come together.  (But I'm so giddy about it that I just had to post now!) In the mean time, here's a photo from a session I will be blogging about soon. (hopefully tomorrow!) It made me laugh...

Expressions

My favorite part about photographing one year olds is capturing all their expressions.  It seems like one year olds go from smiling to laughing to serious in a matter of seconds! And the best part is they do it so readily that I hardly have to do a thing but be ready for it! Take a look at this little guy, and you'll see what I mean! (And those eyes??? Can we talk about those big, beautiful, brown eyes for just a second? They're heart melters.)

Best Way to Start a New Year

What would be the best way to start a New Year? Being given a million dollars? Nah.  A new house? No thanks.  A Caribbean vacation? I'll pass.  For me, there is no better way to start the New Year than a photo session full of well behaved, easy to photograph children.  Okay... maybe I wouldn't turn down a million dollars (or any of those things, really), but this family really helped me open 2012 the right way. 

Other Fun Photos

I think I'm just about ready to wrap up the holidays and start posting about January! (One day I'll be all caught up...) The pictures below are some miscellaneous favorites from the season.  Was the season hectic? Yes.  Did I feel like my sanity was slipping away from me? Occasionally.  Was it absolutely wonderful? Definitely.
