Sigh…I knew I loved these photos, but when I see them set to music I get giddy all over again.

We have been planning this shoot for a long time and I was SO excited to get to shoot in the dahlia fields. So the day finally came and it was soupy wet fog. But, I was heading out of town the next day and they were going to cut the flowers before I could get back. So we decided to brave it and see what we could get. I’m actually so happy about how it all turned out. The day and the photos have kind of a dreamy feel from all of that fog…and I was just so excited to finally shoot these guys. I’ve known Judy for….well…hmm…forever I guess…and watching her and her adorable family was so much fun.

I’ve know that she and Jim are chomping at the bit to see some photos, so even though I have more to share, I’m going to post a little taste.

I may be back with more sneaks…and I will definitely be getting the whole gallery to Jim and Judy soon…but at least now I can show my face at school pick up tomorrow knowing that I kept my promise!!

Thanks you guys, for waiting while I was off in Disneyland…I hope you love these as much as I do.

Get your tissue…

September 4, 2009

This is the first time I put together a slideshow for a client. I shared it with Mom the other day (with different music) and she LOVED it. The next step was to figure out how to do it for the web which was decidedly more difficult than expected…but I’ve got it now, so don’t expect this to be the last slideshow you see around these parts. Mom requested this song and I love it, even if I’ve watched this 1000 times and still get a little misty.

I think it is not only because this baby is so beautiful (and she is) but because I’ve seen how completely knocked off of her feet in love this mom is with this girl. We just met, but I SO get where she is…I’ve been there. It is such a magical mix of overwhelmed and starstruck and grateful and sleep deprivation and joy and holy cow every minute. (Looking at the list I’m still most of these things now, but I do get to sleep). As I watched this I felt completely privileged to be welcomed into their home and trusted to capture this beautiful girl…just as she is right now.

sigh….so here is the beautiful Ava, set to music. (and I warned you you might need tissues)
