Soulstice Poetry event

In trying to get my groove back I have been goin out to get my groove back. I discovered that I miss poetry, more than I don’t miss the cliche aspects of open mike night so I have been getting off my duff and getting back out into the world.

And Oh my how I have missed it. I haven’t gotten up the nerve to actually read just yet. But I am going more regularly. hopefully once a week or so and it gives me a good chance to practice and play with the photography. Here are just a few images from a few weeks ago. I’ll keep you guys posted. I did go in the studio and finish my poetry CD. More on that a little later as well.

happy birthday Moli

Cammy and Gabby have a host of cousins who we would love to see more of particularly the two angels in the picture below, we got a chance to spend a little time when Moli’s fourth birthday came around and she had a bowling party. Talk about a good time.

Watching 4 year olds shove a 6lb bowling ball .00045 mph down the lane – made for easy photo practice. Her mom (my cousin) wanted to pay me to be there – but this time is priceless in our family. It doesn’t happen often enough as it is. Thank you for thinking of asking me but sometimes I still shoot because I love it, and my subjects.  When you and walter get hitched – THEN call me for the job! :) (hint hint Walter)

More belly Welcome Ava

There is something about a woman who truly wants to be pregnant. Something so special about the glow a woman can get when she is with child and that is EXACTLY where she wants to be. Patty had it. It was just so easy to watch. Pattys mom passed away before her daughter was bon (she made her appearance shortly after Obama won the election – Nov 4th was her due date)  I got a chance to ask her about how she felt to be a mom, and her answers gave me a smile. Patty is my fathers sister, and my most active Aunt on his sidee of my family. She gave me alot to look up to and taught me alot about the woman I wanted to be when I grew up, and the woman I strive to be now. It was certainly strange to be giving my aunt advice and soothing her nerves about motherhood and the birthing process. But I was truly honored to do so. Baby Ava has the most diligent angel in your mother I am sure, Patty and I am honored that you trusted me with your images. Its even more special that you came down for Baltimore for the session. I’m excited to meet Little Ava and do her new born session in December!

Good fun in a fountain

my girl and my boy

So I needed some mini session and we needed to be outside- so we headed to our favorite spot. Met a few friends and I pulled out the Camera.

Sometimes when I watch my kids thru the lens I think that I get a more honest view of them as personalities. I get to notice things I am usually to busy to tired or jsut too close to them to see. Cammys shine, Gabbys glow. And I’d like to introduce Mr. Ami. Yes that would be captain GQ a little further down.

Jerry got in a few pictures with the girl, I like the colors in these images more than I have in a while, Fall is easily my favorite season.. Indian Summers are the best.

They could probably red tag this one to death

I was contacted to do some head shots for the editors of a education magazine and let me tell you – these are the kind of women I hope my girls run into often in life. I fully expected them to take a red pen to my blog and send it back all lit up cause you know for a writer I have THE WORST SPELLING EVAH!! Any who they are fun and beautiful and full of spirit. Sharon is also a author (just started her book -its really more up Jerrys alley but he said I may like it- will report back later.) as a matter of fact I think I’ll give the set away – and beg Sharon for another set?!?!? SHaron you out there?!? send a girl an email!
