MAY 2008
I know it's November...but I'm still catchin up. Jeffrey chose to skip baseball this year and play year round basketball instead. Here are a few images of Garrett's 2nd season of baseball...
Cant seem to figure out how to remove this pic, it's out of order...but I gotta go...

A Long Time Gone...
I've been gone from blogging for quite awhile now...I've spent lots of time thinking about how to explain the break...and where to start. I've decided to keep it simple and just say my life became complicated and unmanageable. As far as where I will start, I will begin where I left off...in Laguna Beach.
During my time away I made a very important and difficult decision, to return to photography as my passion...something I do again just for me. With my photography business now officially closed ,(I am still available to those of you who wish to order from an already completed session) I can focus on helping myself to "get right" and be o.k. again. I will also be able to focus on my family and my friends, etc. It is a relief knowing I have only ONE full time job now, instead of two. I hope that somehow I will find my purpose again... and hopefully... forgiveness and healing.
My blog will become more personal rather than professional...a place to post pictures of family, friends, and simple day to day life the way I see it through my lens.
The following are a few more shots from Laguna Beach... #2 is an image taken at an awkward angle, yet it is the way I remember walking down to the beach at sunset holding Garrett's little 6 year old hand ... #3 I view as the PERFECT portrait of a photographers child (no more pictures!!!!)!

JUST BEFORE LEAVING...
The day we left Laguna, I talked the boys into going to the location where I had shot the models the day before. They were definitely not that interested until "Golden Spoon" and "you don't even have to smile" became part of the conversation...so here they are, with not so much as a smirk...and i am happy, i got what i wanted... a couple pic's of my own kids!!!!

DOWN SOUTH
5 Seniors, 4 locations, one fence scaled, two falls, and a session is complete!
In the world of Seniors...things I learned...
1. No matter how many times you have to pull your pants up...NEVER wear them above your hips!
2. Texting is definitely a CONVERSATION.
3. NEVER let your cell phone out of your site.
4. Do as many things at the same time as possible (I think I should have born in this generation).
5. T9
6. Use the word RANDOM as much as possible!
AND ONE RANDOM SURFER...
AND BECAUSE I CAN...

CHICAGO
Ever felt like you needed to get away...I mean really get away...to a place you've never been, with people you've never met? I've been a little restless lately (big surprise, right) so the opportunity to go to a photography workshop couldn't have come at a better time. The photographer...Audrey Woulard. I've admired her work for years. The experience...AMAZING!

NEW FRIENDS...you would have thought that while in the presence of 18 other photographers we would forgo the self portrait and ask one of them to take our picture...naaa...this was more fun...
