Allergies Anyone?
2007-04-15 23:48:00
I'd like to rant for one second. My allergies are driving me insane. I have been feeling so under the weather lately, it's been difficult for me to get through my daily routine. I had a hard time with allergies in Vegas, but it is ten times worse here in Omaha. Stupid corn.A few months ago my doctor wrote a prescription for medication and my insurance denied it. DENIED. The reasoning was that since Claritin is over the counter now, they need documented proof over a reasonable time period that Claritin was not working for me. Stupid insurance.The only medications that seem to work are the ones that make me resemble a very moody zombie. It's probably not so much because the medicine works as much as it's the fact that I'm completely knocked out asleep.Anyway, on to better news. The weather is beautiful which makes my outdoor treks with the dogs so much more pleasant. I'm going to bring my camera this week during one of our walks to take some pics.This morning I got up p...

I Love Toddlers
2007-04-03 20:41:00
Meet my new friend. I dare you not to fall in love with his sunkissed red hair contrasted against the newly spring-green grass.He is such a cutie! I was running around chasing him like a mad woman. Mom and dad are great too, they were so sweet and accommodating. I love when parents just go with it, it makes for such a fun and spontaneous session. For instance, when I asked if it was possible to dump out the large basket containing loads of books and toys to bring it outside--no problem. We were inside, outside, inside again..we were just all over the place. I had my reflector set up in the dining room and when the little one was sitting in front of it, the light on his skin was gorgeous. This last shot is so fun. Dad was throwing him in the air and I cropped the bottom of the picture that had the top of dads hands and it turned out like this:It makes me want to go jump on a trampoline!On a side note, I'm still trying out new products and vendors. For this session I sent o...

Family of Five and Some Wind
2007-03-27 08:02:00
You know those special, rare people you feel like you just know when you first meet them? A kind of familiarity that occurs when you least expect it but are always pleasantly surprised? The mom that I met last weekend felt like that to me. Very few people greet you with open arms for a hug the very first time you meet. I'm going to put that into practice when people come to my home-a sincere welcome. Even if it's my UPS man, he's getting a hug! Of course I'll chicken out and spare my poor UPS man the awkwardness and possibility of post delivery stress disorder, but it's a good thought to ponder.The greeting was a great start to a fun morning with mom, dad, two teenage girls and a younger brother. They were in their beautiful new home that had some very cool custom touches and an awesomely picturesque backyard.The wind was completely obnoxious and ruined some otherwise great shots, but this one was spared and is actually one of my favorites from the day.The youngest was s...

Proof Books and Business
2007-03-20 03:14:00
I'm working on delivery and packaging for my clients. Unfortunately, right now I'm in the "trying out" stage so I'm sending out different products in an effort to find what I really like. One of the latest proof books I've tried is spiral bound, binding through each proof:I'm pretty happy with it but I'm not sure if it's the best option out there.Also, finding the perfect company to do my packaging is on my "to do" list. I have a few good leads and I'm hopeful they will work out.Starting a business is a huge task and to be honest, I'm not sure I was fully ready. I'm doing my best though, and I have no doubt that it will work.

A Hot Suitcase for Europe
2007-03-19 01:20:00
I'm not sure what I'm more excited about at this moment.The fact that I'm planning a Euro pe an Vacation this summer OR the fact that I found this:I'm sure I will be making this purchase, as soon as I figure out a way to convince Curtis I NEED this piece of luggage. (Easier to locate on the carousel of endless black suitcases?)And Europe is going to be fabulous! We're going to spend a couple of weeks there and visit England, France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy. Is it just me, or is planning for a vacation loads of fun? I guess not, that's why people have travel agents.

Martha, Brad and I
2007-03-18 05:53:00
I love to cook. I love to try new recipes. Finding recipes to try is like a good hunt for me. Searching online is a good method, but I usually resort to internet recipes for less ambitious, more practical, lazy kind of meals. Not that you can't get really great recipes online, but there's something about opening a cookbook and pouring through page after page of recipes and pictures of recipes. Tonight, I went to the Madam Herself. Mart ha Stewart. Martha and I made crabcakes. I'm not sure why I picked crabcakes to make, but they were delicious, despite the fact that I've never made them before, as a matter of fact, I've never even ordered crabcakes before.I paired the maincourse with corn on the cob, cucumber salad and Brad Pitt.Thank goodness for Martha Stewart because I finally figured out the trick to corn on the cob. SUGAR. Yes, boil 1-2 tbsp of sugar in the water. Brad Pitt joined us ala "Babel", which in my humble opinion was not great, at all.Before I get off t...

Penguin Storyboard
2007-03-13 06:58:00
The penguin was doing his battery assisted dance, which was impressive on it's own, but then the little one got right in there and rocked the house!If I were a popular singing competition judge, I would have said, "It was hot, dawg"!!

M&M's Make Me Smile
2007-03-12 18:56:00
I was going through my archives to update a couple of images on my website this morning, and as I was carelessly skimming through the files, this picture jumped out and made me smile:That's the look of a kid who's grandmother just put a bag of m&m's over my head. M&M's! And a small bag at that. Remember when it was the little things that made us so happy? I miss those days (although, I must admit, I have been known to get a little over-the-top excited for some chocolate). I've been glued to my laptop these past few days, editing and figuring out new ideas for clients. The most exciting is that I think I've finally found a slideshow program that I like. I'm testing it out using my client's from Saturday's post as my experiment. So far, it's going really well!Happy Monday!

Great Morning With a Great Family
2007-03-11 03:50:00
Today I took pictures for the sweetest family! There was so much love and fun and sweetness in the house, it was palpable. The youngest was wide-eyed and full of life, despite his tiredness. He was so sweet and just adorable. The oldest, well, what can I say? I thought for one second that he may be a tough one, but then he made a move out of nowhere and I knew I was so wrong. He put his hand on his hip, slung his head back and gave me that look as if to say, 'I know what you want me to do, silly, you just have to wait a minute, or thirty'. Up until this point, and even a bit after, he didn't really want to look at the camera. And I could hardly blame him, this house had some cool toys! So here's the pose--But then, I got these--Here's some more from today. (Some of the cutest pictures were of the youngest dancing with a penguin, I'm working on a storyboard for that one. Hopefully, I'll have it posted on the next update).

My Adorable, Uncooperative Nephew
2007-02-24 05:27:00
Maybe I tried too hard. Or was it that I was originally too confident and thought it would be a piece of cake.Whatever it was, I had to admit that I was defeated. Elliott, my brilliant nephew, was not giving an inch to appease my desire for the pictures I envisioned. It was just not going to happen on this trip. It was a case of terrible timing on my part and a very disinterested subject. If Elliott didn't physically have something in his hands, you could almost see the thoughts running through his mind on what he could possibly pick up to quench his overactive curiosity.I knew I was resigned to throw in the towel when I couldn't nail the 'walk away' photo. The photo that I usually love and have no problems with at all, the one where the subjects are walking away from me and the camera. My nephew refused to hold mommy's hand and came to a complete stop, mid-bridge, to fully inspect whatever it was he found, no doubt the most interesting thing on the planet. My sister wa...

Whirlwind Weekend and Childhood Friends
2007-02-19 17:59:00
I got home late last night from a quick trip to see my family in Florida. I haven't been back home since I left the state in 2000! My dad had hip replacement surgery last week and is currently on the mend, but overall he is doing great. It was such a short visit, I didn't really have time to catch up with my friends but I did manage to spend a few hours with my bestfriend from childhood and her family. I can't believe I'm actually old enough to say, "I've known Shari for 27 years". Let me pause a moment to let that sink in....okay. I've known her since I was five, so it's not actually as bad as it seems. Hmmm? Am I justifying here? I'm just going to move on before this gets really pathetic (for instance, I actually thought to myself "but I don't feeeeeeel old"). See, pathetic. Moving on.Unfortunately, we grew apart and didn't really keep in touch until recently by sharing a few emails back and forth. Her parents still live in the same house accross the street w...

Cold and Rainy
2007-02-13 18:29:00
This past weekend Curtis and I went to San Diego to visit family. I planned on taking a lot of touristy pictures (Balboa Park, La Jolla and the beaches to name a couple), but it didn't work out as I originally thought. For one, I think I was too desperate to escape our Omaha snow, daydreaming for days prior of the beautiful Southern California weather I once called my own. Of course it was rainy, cold and overcast all weekend. I didn't allow the weather to get me down though, seeing family more than made up for it. It's also difficult to bring out the tourist side of me when I'm in San Diego because in many ways it feels so much like home to me. I really loved living there. I can't let myself get overly nostalgic, I have a new home now and am enjoying finding the brightside of living in the heartland. Most of the pictures I took were of Curtis' nephew. Unfortunetly, all of the pictures were taken indoors and at night, a combination I really do not like. It's a good ...

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
2007-02-07 21:38:00
I can't tell you how honored I am to be accepted as a participating photographer for 'Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep '. I want very much to become active in my community, something I lacked doing back in Las Vegas. I have many goals for myself this year and among the top of the list is reaching out and extending my time and my love as much as I possibly can.

A Very Cold Sunday Morning
2007-02-05 00:43:00
I had a great time getting to know these two beautiful boys. Their house had such gorgeous light streaming through the windows. This is our real estate agent's family and she stopped by so it was a huge bonus to see her again. After a bit of a break because of the move, it was so nice to take pictures again.
