another holiday session from back in october. these two cracked me up; it was so easy to get them to make funny faces – this is my favorite spread from the session:

i have a series of shoots coming up in the next month for the ulman cancer fund for young adults. it’s a great organization whose official mission is, “We enhance lives by supporting, educating and connecting young adults, and their loved ones, affected by cancer.” But really? it’s so much more than that. when my sister-in-law had thyroid cancer a few years back, they were a tremendous source of information and comfort. when jeff’s cousin had testicular cancer last year? they helped him get in touch with the same doctors lance armstrong used and helped him through the treatment process. they are a fantastic organization and i’m really excited to be doing some shoots for them.
ANYway, the point is that i was playing with some different lighting setups today and begged kate to be my model. here are a couple i really liked; two are SOOC and two are retouched:




Seriously, the freckles are killing me. She is so precious.
i was playing around yesterday with some images i’d taken over thankgiving of my niece and nephews and really liked the way this one came out. usually i like my images to be crisp and clean and colorful; this one couldn’t be any more different but sometimes a change of pace is nice:

Love this, it’s so touching.
hey clients (and anyone else): if you are looking for picture ledges for your photos, ikea has some good ones that are really inexpensive. i was there yesterday and stumbled across them; i think they’re a new product because i’m at ikea all the time and i’ve never seen them before. one caveat: these are minimalist in style so if you like extra fluff with your ledges, these are not the ones for you (check out pottery barn). me? i love them – they’re right up my alley and they are a heck of a lot cheaper than the ones i’ve ordered from west elm and CB2.
(and they’re not just for photos. i hung two up in my office yesterday, right above my coffee pot. they are the perfect width to hold small coffee cups and glasses!)
