Studio Check-In

I'm a little nervous....this was yesterday when I went to paint....its still kind of a mess. I've been assured that it will be clear by tomorrow...good thing I trust the source so much!

I did paint the wall though.

I have been doing lots of maternity portraits lately. They are an element of my photography that I wish I did more of. There are not a ton of photographers in Kansas City that do really nice maternity and pregnancy photographs. I wish I had them from my own pregnancies. I suppose I could have another baby. HA HA HA.

Weird Thought

Everytime I go to the bank though the drive-thru, I get this almost-overwhelming urge to steal the canister from the tube, you know, the one you put your deposit into?? I cant explain it...someone will have to bail me out of jail one day...I wont be able to resist!

Todays image was taken by me in Aruba in Nov 2004. If you have never been there, go. Its fabulous. And a photographers paradise, I took about 1000 images in a week.

I took this shot during a 3 month old baby session recently. I just love the way Daddy is gazing at Baby..you can feel the power of his love.

My Image of the Day

My husband and I went to Chicago a few months ago and I had forgotten about this image...I thought it was cool. Shot while waiting for the 'L'.

I'm going to post an image everyday (well, Ok, I intend to).

My Studio in Progress

So I am opening my very own studio in Lenexa, and I thought it might be fun to show the progress of the space. Today I stopped by and shot these pictures. Needless to say, there is a lot of work to be done there!

Sheila (owner of Retrophilia, www.retrophilia.com) who is renting me the space, says she is getting everyone's stuff out of there by February 1st, so here's hoping!

I cant wait to paint!

Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my own little space, a place for sharing my personal views on photography and life in general. I will try to make it interesting, fun and occasionally educational. I will feature photographs of my clients, my friends, my family and whatever else catches my eye from day to day.

I am a Portrait Photographer/Photographic Artist who specializes in Maternity, Newborns, Babies and Child photography in the Kansas City Metro Area. I work primarily in black and white, and on location, although my new studio is opening in February in Lenexa. I am so fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful clients and friends here in Kansas City. People who have made my business flourish and my art grow.

Thank you for coming along with me as I navigate my way through life, one day at a time.

Life is Art...enjoy it.
