Merry Christmas 2009!

Daniel & Erin Maternity Session

Dec. 13 was an exciting day for me. It was the day of my first maternity photo shoot!

When Daniel & Erin asked me to capture this special time in their life, I was so excited and nervous too. But the session turned out great.

Daniel & Erin were so easy to shoot. Erin is so energetic and full of life. Her smile definitely lights up a room.

Above all, I wanted the two to be comfortable. So we did the session at their home in Cleveland. I wanted to do some outside shots, but it was raining, so we adapted and did all inside shots.

It worked out great though; the house is older and has a really cool vintage vibe.


Daniel was so fun! He and Erin are a great match. He has a sense of humor that complements Erin's vivacious spirit so well; he kept us all laughing.






The baby's name is Max, and they are expecting him on or around Valentine's Day. What an amazing Valentine's Day gift!






I had so much fun doing this session and I learned a lot. Maternity shoots are challenging, but they are really special. It is an honor to be able to capture this time in people's lives.

Congrats, Daniel & Erin!

Family Photos: The Wrights

This weekend, I visited Ohio for Thanksgiving. While I was there, I had the opportunity to do family photos for The Wrights. They were really fun to shoot.

We took photos around late afternoon, and the lighting was perfect. Not to mention the weather was awesome! We had a lot of fun.

A Blind Man And His Shoes

There once was a blind man that, though his sight was fine, could not see

That the shoes he had, though old and worn, were faithful as can be

In spite of over-use and unfair misuse, they remained true

To weather the storms of life and risky terrains that were new

In the good times, the shoes were then -discarded and upgraded

For new shoes, presumably better and that could be afforded

Treated like movie stars despite their many mixed reviews

The blind man more blinded, to the limitations of his new shoes

In the tough times, these shoes faded to show their true colors

Disguised– to be major successes, designed– to be failures

And so, the new shoes fell apart, when they were most needed

The blind man, blinded to warning labels, that should have been heeded

Turning back to his old shoes that stood the test of time

Though his treatment of them was nothing short of a crime

These reliable old shoes that are rarely given the chance to shine

For a man who cannot see their worth, will always walk a fine line
