An old friend from high school emailed me (thru a mutual friend/client that was totally un-high school related. Small world.) to ask about getting some headshots done for her son who is modeling and acting. Matthew is a total natural in front of the camera, and a really nice kid to boot. He has an audition this week, so please send this handsome guy some good luck vibes!

visiting wrigley
For those of you who have followed our puppy saga here, here and here I finally mustered up the ability to make plans with her new family for a visit. Ya know, without being hysterically crying. I went over Friday morning to see her (bringing coffee and muffins for her new mom) and while I was wondering how much of a good idea it was to visit (would I just be too sad?) it turned out to be great! I’m pretty sure she remembered me and we had a very playful, lap sitting, bitey, cuddly visit.
So now since I’m feeling much better about the whole thing and not in total meltdown mode anymore (make no mistake, if she could still be here I would have her here in a second. I still really miss my puppy girl who I loved even before I met.) I can share the great news of who her new family is. Wrigley now belongs to the “Powe” family. Mrs. P was Patrick & Timmy’s first grade teacher and they have been our friends (and bsquared clients!) for a long time now. Wrigley now has a biglittle Westie brother (big because he’s older, little because she’s going to WAY outweigh him really soon), two little girls and a great mom & dad to grow up with. She doing fantastically and getting so much bigger already- in just one week.
She’s beautiful and sweet and crazy puppy. And now I’m told that she sleeps thru the night (you’re welcome!) from 10:30 or 11pm until around 7-8am. Mrs. P and family invited the boys over to visit tomorrow so more pictures will be coming. I’m not taking Timmy with us, he’s finally better from all his horrible allergies and really don’t want that to start up again.
So a big thank you to the “powe” family for taking in our girl when we couldn’t keep her, and giving her such a happy, loving home where we can watch her grow up into a big beautiful dog. And especially for the open invitation to visit Wrigley.

the capp family
Couldn’t have asked for a better group for my very first session of 2013. I photographed them the day after I came home from vacation and while it was chilly out, it wasn’t terrible (other than feeling the tan leach out of my skin). Karen, who set up the whole session for her family, had a great idea to do the shoot at Carltun on the Park (in Eisenhower Park) where they booked a lunch date. This was an extra special shoot as it was the first time the whole family was together since last Christmas- with both girls away at college, and their son, daughter in law and granddaughter living in Japan family get togethers are few and far between. They have such a great family dynamic and you could tell they were so happy to be together.
How much do you love this little lamby?
A change of clothes and warming up indoors for a bit.

ava’s christening
After photographing this gorgeous baby for her newborn session a few months ago, I was so pleased that her family asked me back to photograph her christening right before Christmas. A cold but beautiful day that was perfect for my last session of 2012.
I just love her smiles!
Getting all ready with her godmother.
Tell us how you really feel about your bonnet.
Godparents.
Mommy.
More tongue.
Love these pictures with her godfather.

max turns one
My fourth time photographing this fantastic family of five (you can find their past shoots here, here and here, but this time it was just mom, dad and the birthday boy to celebrate his big oh-one. Big thanks once again to my photografriend Shira of Shira Z Photography for the loan of her studio for the morning!
Love the little teef in the photo on the right.
