we could all use a smooshy little kissy-face.

and i’m not terribly happy about it! however, as a 2010 goal, i’m going to try and force myself to jump in front of the camera much more often. this is going to take some pretty serious internal coaxing, considering my comfort level is going to have to be shattered to accomplish such a goal. but, if i’m going to expect my fabulous clients to feel comfortable in front of the camera, i’m going to have to just get over it. so, expect to see a lot more of me here on the blog!

also, i have to thank my dear husband for suffering through this shoot to get these shots of me. thank you thank you thank you and i’m sorry i’m sorry i’m sorry that i’m not easier.

and for all the tori-philes out there, snow cherries from france.

life really is, you know. take a look at an actual bowl of cherries. some days are glorious and perfect, like some of the cherries. notice the nice little cherry on top there, it’s bright and shiny and perfect as far as cherries go. then the rest of the days we spend hanging out here in life,  sort of span the spectrum from pretty decent to down right ugly. it’s exactly like a bowl of cherries.

…from my perspective. rainy days are so much better with a warm mug of something delicious in hand.

my rainy day cup and my rainy day chair. i’m a little warmer just looking at it.

some friends of ours were in need of new belts, I was like “no problem I think Macy’s is having a sale”. but they had something else in mind altogether. it was a father/daughter event, Rob earned his purple, and Aidan went from purple directly to 2nd degree brown which I’m told is a really big deal.

thought the holidays were over? well, here we go again.  if you’re hoping to shower your sweetie with something a little more personal than roses and a stuffed bear holding a box of chocolates, consider custom photography.  you’ll still be racking up points long after those roses are dead and the chocolates have added a little extra cushion to your honey’s tush.

sometimes, when you’re a mommy, you have to pull double duty. this is a shot of me, shooting an event, with my natty-cat in my lap…from my own perspective. i’m declaring it a self-portrait.
