Because pregnant women are so beautiful

I just have to post another one from the Carola series.

John Robert - You did it again!

John Robert you did not disappoint!

Just like last year, and the year before, you literally dove into your birthday cake. The cake had so many wonderful colors, and yes, you are right, when you mix them all together you get pretty much black, or a very dark and dirty gray.
It was great to be part of your birthday party again - the third one so far.

Kids have to have fun and be messy, especially when it is their birthday. You understand that, and all your little friends appreciate it. (It is not making things easy for your mom, but that is a different story.)
This week I will get to work on a book so that you and your family can remember this great day, and add it to the little library that you have already accumulated.

It was more difficult to document your party this year than it was in previous years, just because the weather made us all stay inside for most of the day. But there were plenty of things we could do, like get our faces painted, sing songs, or enjoy Mickey’s visit.

Happy Birthday, John Robert!
… and hope to see you again next year.

Almost There

Carola, I am very touched by this image.

I can't believe we pulled this off in the short period of time we had after the kids went to bed and you fell asleep yourself. We shot this in 15 minutes. Figuring out how to get the swirls in the picture took me much longer.

I can't wait to see the little guy. He - and you - will have such a wonderful picture to remember this very special time.

"Elements of Water"

"Elements of Water" is the current exhibition at the Center for Fine Art Photography. I am excited to announce that one of my photographs was juried into the show.
The exhibition will be on display until March 11, 2010
The artist's and public reception is on March 5, 2010 from 6-9pm at the Center's main gallery.

For those of you who cannot visit the gallery in Fort Collins, CO you can see all photographs online.

My contribution to the show is number 45 (toward the end). But do not just skip there directly because you will be skipping over a lot of wonderful photographs.

Enjoy the Photos!

Three more weeks to go

I spent an entire afternoon last weekend with Lisa who has only three more weeks to go until the big day. I felt almost bad chasing her around from one ‘pose’ to the next … having her climb on to the bed … sit … kneel … lay on one side … then the other. Lisa had a couple of dresses that she wanted to try on … and I suggested jeans. I love the casual and relaxed feel of barefoot jeans and t-shirt … you just can’t beat that.

Together we came up with a more and more ideas where and how to photograph. We took our time and had a lot of fun. So we ended up with a variety of pictures that we are both very excited about.




… I wish I could see her daughter’s face the day she get the photos out … “Look! This is what Mommy looked like when you were still inside my tummy.”
