Some from Ottawa, Day One

Someone has a sense of humor up there in fate-land. My hubby asked me a long time ago, "what do you do in these workshops if it rains"? I said "I dont know". Well, yesterday in Ottawa, it POURED all day....we worked anyway. Thank goodness for overhangs...

Off I go for Round Two...

Stuck in Chicago

We had weather delays this morning, so I missed my connecting flight to canada by like 2 minutes.

So I am sitting here, with my butt falling asleep, with a laptop battery about to die (b.c stupid me thought "oh just pack the cord, I wont need it") and no book to read.

Snapped a quick pic so everyone can share in my day, LOL

Sometimes it takes a baby to remind me

That Our Lives are all so precious.
That Time is a gift.
That True Love *is* unconditional.
That Innocence *is* real.
That Yesterday is Gone, Tomorrow is Yet to Come, and Today is truly a Gift....thats why it is called the PRESENT.

Love and peace to you all today~

The face of an angel

I kept saying that during Miss A's session (in the heat!), but really it hit me when I opened this image...if Angels exist, surely this is what they must look like...

My Cruelty Knows No Bounds

I have a small teaching forum online where I give assignments and feedback to emerging photographers who take my workshops. Every week I try (try!) to give them an assignment to shoot before the next week. I almost always do it myself, as well. Its a good exercise in stretching myself to consistently be a creative child photographer.

So, this weeks assignment dealt with Candy, and in *my* mind, this is what I saw. Down into the bowels of Kansas City we went...Mr. B. is so used to me (he never knew Mommy was anything other than a photographer!), that he didnt even put up a fuss when I slipped the wings on him.

He did ask "are these girl wings"? To which I replied "No, honey, girl wings are pink".

Oh well, maybe I can barter for his therapy later in life...

A beautiful Belle

On a beautiful (non-raining, for once) morning, I got to play with a sweet Beauty. Miss K wasnt *all* that sure about being in my Fairy Tale Project, but she was such a good sport.

I also got to do a session that day with her brothers, so as soon as I finish the FTP images, you and your brothers are up! :)

Some of my Workshop Images

Most of my readers know I teach workshops all over the country...but this workshop was special, it was right here in Kansas City!

We had such a great group, and I *love* my models!!

Gun Control is Needed Here

I mean, really, folks. Can you *imagine* what would happen in this town if GUNS like these were just allowed to be possessed by anyone? What kind of world would it be if we let these GUNS be concealed? Would you feel safe confronted by these GUNS? I would definitely feel protected, but wow, these GUNS dont belong to me!

;)

The Human Form

Actually the pregnant human form...its just so beautiful. The way the light wraps around the belly, the way the curve of the back shows so nicely, I just love photographing maternities.

This particular maternity is special in a lot of ways, but 2 come to mind...

1. This client has been waiting for many years to have a Maternity session

2. First new-studio Maternity session

I will be done with your session soon!!

Wow, so thats what
