Pear Blossom

I like to call the last week of school the week before Christmas.  Out of all the weeks of the year the only two that leave me frazzled, overwhelmed and tired are the week before Christmas and the last week of school.  Honestly between work and my kids schedule I feel slightly delusional and based on how I was dressed today I’d say I’m loosing myself.  I threw my hair into a pony and jumped into the day face first.  I had two sessions (both lovely), birthday celebrations for our little pup clover (she’s a year old today!) and Anthony’s big play for the year.  Lots of little things inbetween to keep the craziness alive I am going to sit at this computer until I have 5 blog posts lined up and ready to launch each day.  There is no way I will have time over the course of this week to sit and blog and I wish I could, I never shared Madison’s PreK graduation, Tball and Minors baseball, Jottum clothes, a family shoot and some fun videos I shot.  

Blog post one of five :) 

Deux Par Deux from Dragonflies and Ladybugs FALL 09               

FALL 09 is launching and all the new lines are looking amazing!!  Its weird to be planning for fall, I don’t want to rush through summer at all but it’s kinda funny that here in the hot summer weather we are photographing layered pieces, jackets and lots of tights.  Thankfully my models are troopers and we’ve had a lot of fun!   

Misha Lulu is an adorable brand.  Check out the pre order items on Little Luna Blue   

I recently had a super fun family shoot.  It was a top secret Father’s Day shoot with mom and the kids.  My goal was to create images that were warm, loving and inviting … something dad would look at and treasure.  A man loves to see his beautiful wife with his loving children, just like moms love pictures of their kids with their daddy.  Since Suzanne is a friend I had a slight advantage in nudging her the direction I wanted the shoot to go in.   So instead of playing outside on the swings we went inside and took camp on the family bed.  I’d like to think I captured the fun that this family is.  Each and every one of them is so loving, funny and unique.  

I’m *almost* ready to debut my new site!!  It’s been a work in progress … it’s super simple, very clean and user friendly.  I’ve been working on it during my free time, it seems like its taken years to get done, but really it’s only been months.  I’m hoping to launch it next week :) 

I’ve been a very bad blogger and haven’t updated in forever!!!  I promise to sit down tomorrow and write up some posts, share some recent sessions and also share some fun pictures of my kiddos.
