Just a quick note to let all my clients know, if you've tried calling me in the last week, to two weeks, I've switched phone services, and it's resulted in some missed calls, and some messages that weren't received. I'm very sorry for this, and it should be all squared awayvery soon! Email is the best way to reach me, so drop me a line if you need me, and I'll call you back!! And I'll be posting another shoot or wedding very soon.
I have SO much to tell you all; I just shot another celebrity wedding, and some of my wedding photos from a few months ago are going to be on Dr. Phil, and some of my other photos are going to be in a magazine, and a gazillion other things to update you on, but alas, not at this moment, but I promise to write very soon about all of these fun (and crazy!) things!!
And I'm starting to book up for next summer, so if you're wanting me to shoot your next wedding, drop me a line, so we can get you on the calendar!!
And because I'm me, there has to be at least one photo in every blog, so we're breaking form for this post, with a bunch of personal shots of (crazy! I know! I do actually have a personal life) me and my family. I've got so much more where these came from, (our trip to San Francisco, going to the SC County Fair, the girls first days of school, etc., etc.), but I don't have time to edit all of them at the moment, so I just grabbed a few highlights (with the hope to have more of the family shots posted fairly soon-ish, or at least time to go through all of them). And these aren't super-artistic, or anything of the sort, these are more in more in the vein of I'm-so-proud-of-my-kids-aren't-they-the-cutest-ever
type of mom photos. But what can I say?? They are the cutest kids ever. There seem to be a lot of sequence-type shots in here, I'm not entirely sure why, but there you go.
Just as the cobblers kids never had any shoes, so too, does the photographer never have formal portraits of her own family. These days, I'm just happy if we're all in the same general vicinity together and I'm able to get a shot or two of my girlies, which is why I'm so joyfully posting 'family album,' type shots, because my kids and husband mean more to me than anything, and yet, family life has definitely taken a hit with all my working for the past five months. Needless to say, I can't wait for our impending family vacation to Ireland!! So enjoy some of my more personal shots, and I'll post more of my professional-type stuff soon...
And there are a bunch more family photos after the jump, to see them, click on 'continue reading...' below.
In our hotel room, in San Francisco...
The cutie-patootie Howard Boys and McCord Girlies, on Labor Day.
Bella's first day of school (we were running a bit late, so I didn't have a lot of time to take many pictures)...
But a few days later, on Sofia's first day, we took more....
And the aryle socks...could you die? I also want to note, in that last shot, the red thing sticking out of Sofia's backpack? A microphone, of course! What else could be more appropriate for the first day of school?
This picture freaks me out a lot, because it looks SO much like me when I was little...and because, really, could she be any cuter?
At the Santa Cruz County Fair...
Riding the horses at the fair...
A lot of times, you can't see all of Bella's beautiful face, because of her glasses, but when she took her glasses off to ride the roller coaster, we got a shot of her beautiful face, unobscured...
Being (very) silly at the fair...
