…Anticipation

anticipation |anˌtisəˈpā sh ən|noun the action of anticipating something; expectation or prediction

Will you marry me?..check, going to the chapel….check, and then comes baby. A lot can happen in twelve short months. This is the third time in a year I have photographed Dionne and Maryann. Once for their engagement, then again for their wedding, and yesterday, you guessed it, maternity photos. Each time gets a bit easier, a bit more relaxed, as I have realized sarcasm and laughter are a must with these two. Both Maryann and Dionne were glowing. Happy people make me happy. I was honored to photograph another big event in both of their lives.

All the clothes have been hung and folded, the crib has been set up, baby monitors are in place, the diapers stacked, the bottles washed, all that awaits is the is the anticipation of meeting their baby girl! I am so excited for you both. Congratulations!

Creativity…

creativity |ˌkrē-āˈtivitē| noun the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work. I’m lucky enough to surround myself with a lot of creative people. My friends include actresses, artists, chefs, comedians, a gaggle of photographers, musicians, calligraphers, DIYers, interior designers, quilters, scrapbookers, writers, bloggers, and so on and so on. Needless to say, I’m inspired pretty regularly. This […]

Proximity…

…Wingman

sfggp004

wingman |ˈwiNGˌmən| n. a man who helps or supports another man; a friend or close associate I was painfully shy as a kid. Painfully! I found it hard to make friends, was always the quiet one, hated small talk, and was anxious if I ever had to lead or carry on a conversation. Shyness, honestly there weren’t to many perks […]

…Sea

img_1288

sea noun the expanse of salt water that covers most of the earth’s surface and surrounds its landmasses. Why are we so mesmerized by ginormous fish tanks? Why do people young and old, stop dead in their tracks to stare longingly at ocean life. I think it’s because the ocean is so vast, so beautiful, […]

…Ease

peartreefitz005

ease |ēz| noun absence of difficulty or effort I’d love to say that each session I do starts out immediately with an absence of difficulty or effort, but that would be a lie. It always, as it should, takes a few setups to ease into picture taking. It’s unnatural for most people. So, as the photographer it is my […]
