What Are You Up To?

  • by

I keep getting that question.  Oh, and “How are you feeling?”  That one too.

Here’s the answer:

This is our friend Anson Holmes the cabinet maker:

This guy has been keeping me quite busy.  He is trying to get a nice brochure together and has wrangled 7.5 month pregnant me into the mix.  Unlike shooting babies and people, there are deadlines involved with photographing objects.  It seems that everyone in that realm wants the final product yesterday.  Which is fine with me, since I only have until tomorrow before the baby is here.

So last Monday I photographed this kitchen:

Isn’t that cool wood?  Not to mention that Anson designed and built the pulls.

Then Saturday he got me to drive to Woodland Park (only about 2 hours away) to photograph this home:

Some exquisite work and well worth the drive.  Not to mention the cool forest the kids got to run through all day.  Oh and the Spook House the owner built for Halloweens.  But that’s another story.

Curly Locks

The other day I put pin curls in India’s hair.  After a day of wearing them, we took them out.  This is what unraveled.

Gift Idea

I am really digging this Little Travelers Blog.  I have been reading a bit today and have been inspired in many ways.  One entry is on cooperative games.  Imagine playing a game where all players are working together to win the game.  What a concept.  I have always thought competition is overrated.  I actually can’t stand playing competitive games.  Maybe we’ll have to add a few of these games into our collection.

The Many Faces of…

a very active baby boy. This is just a small taste. While editing these images I couldn’t believe all the different expressions this little one gave me. He was going from content to crying pretty often… until we turned on the heater. He loved the heater.


Ok, so he never did sleep. He did blink his eyes, though. I would say it’s pretty rare, if not difficult, to catch a perfect blink.


Never change a newborn.


This is just a taste of the range of emotions this guy gave us.


Can you believe today was our first snow? We had to catch it before it melted.

Holiday Deadline

  • by

That time of year has arrived!  Holiday deadlines are always sooner than we’d like.  Mine is quickly approaching… November 19th.  Get your orders in quickly so you’ll have time to send out those photo cards and gifts!

Some pictures to get your juices flowing:

Our card from last year. I had to add a photo, but after doing 3 runs of printing on 60 cards I couldn’t imagine trying to wrangle the family…


So we used a photograph of Zach’s Christmas present. By adding text to a 4×6″ print it made a bit more sense having it in along with the card.
My quantity print prices (50 prints or more) can be found on my proofing site. Just click on a gallery and select a print to order. You’ll see the large quantity print prices listed towards the bottom. Once you order the print, you can add text. Just put what you want written in the Special Instructions area, I will send you a proof via email before sending to press.


This was taken in the spring with the idea of using it for a Holiday card. Even though everyone was wearing pastel, I was able to make it very season neutral. With the pop of red, instant seasonal card. Each card is designed specifically for each family. Take advantage of this. I haven’t begun charging a design fee (I know, I’m crazy).


This was sent out in the fall, so not a holiday card. But shows a bit of the range.


Not only are these cool looking cards but the paper they are printed on is superb. My lab calls it their watercolor paper and it has a wonderfully tactile feel.
