Mother’s Day Furries :)

After a yummy lunch today at my mom’s house today, I snapped a few pictures of her furry babies. She has six cats, but only one was interested in having his photo made. He, Pete, promptly tried to groom Isabelle, the German shepherd after he posed for the camera. Here are a few of my favorites.

Sweet Isabelle…

Foster pup, Gypsey, who is absolutely precious!

Wild man, Pete

All Grown Up…

Miss Cece was my “child” for a few years. I taught her physical science, biology, and environmental science at the Georgia Academy for the Blind. She was a perfect student -always prepared, insightful, and interested in whatever adventure I had prepared. In just a few short weeks, Cece will be graduating and headed off to college to pursue a career in pharmacy. See, I told you she was one smart cookie! We got together yesterday to catch up on her senior year (playing goal ball, the prom this week, college choices, etc.) and to create a few senior pictures. Thank you, Cece, for letting me drag you all over town, and for being such a good sport. I loved being your teacher, and I loved being able to photograph you as you move into the world of adulthood. Congrats, girl – I’m so proud of the wonderful lady you have become!

Had to share just one image of this beautiful little girl from last weekend’s wedding. She was so fun to watch (and photograph).

Love my Lubitel

admin — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 21:48:29 +0000

Last year I received a Lubitel as a gift from my sister and her hubby. It was my gift for photographing their wedding. Her intent was for me to use it while on the buddymoon the week after the wedding in New Orleans.

That never happened. So, when Imaging USA was slated for NOLA this January, I knew exactly which camera to pack for the trip. Finally some prints of the Big Easy and on a pretty big day in the Big Easy – Mardi Gras!

Laissez les bon temps rouler! I’m wearing my beads, are you!

Behind the St. Louis Cathedral and across from the George Rodrigue gallery on Royal – I almost got hit by several cars while taking this shot.I promise this was before the extremely large Bloody Mary we bought in the Quarter! I like it, though.

Baby Ken was just precious for our session. He likes to be held, but then, who doesn’t? Can you blame him? His sweet momma and daddy are already so smitten with him- it was so cute to watch! Hang in there, guys – you will get to rest soon!

Enjoy this little look.

A Bird in the Hand…

admin — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:10:06 +0000

is worth so much more than two in the bush! Today I had the most awesome experience… there was a thud at the front window and I looked out to see a little bird laying belly-up in the pine straw. I also saw three of our cats honing in on him. I was able to get to him in time and I took him in my hand. His little heart was beating so fast – he closed his eyes. I took him to sit in the sun and he opened his eyes again. We walked around the yard, I talked to him, and he looked at me. Finally I decided that I was going to have to try to get my camera because no one was going to believe that I actually carried a wild bird around for half an hour. We went inside…he stayed in my hand and I grabbed a camera and a memory card. He even accepted my left hand to sit in when I decided that no pictures were going to be made if I had to use my left. And, he posed for me. He turned his little fuzzy head, and he even chirped at me a few times. When I was herding the chickens back to the yard, he darted up into a big cedar tree, and I never saw him again. How I enjoyed our time together…it was wild.

Once a biology teacher…

always the geeky biology teacher… Yes, I have an obsession with decomposers. It’s true, and I don’t deny it. Every year about this time I scour our little property for the spore-bearing heterotrophs, and every year they are there waiting on me in all their fungal glory. A trip just down the driveway yielded a bumper crop this Christmas. My camera had been feeling neglected, so we decided to make a natural connection. I was so pleased with what I found that I started asking myself if it would be weird to hang a fine art bright white photo rag print of a mushroom in my living room? Maybe it’s the hippie in me that resurfaces this time each year too – if you need me, I’ll be hunting Sugar Magnolia in the woods.

It was a blustery cold morning for photographs…luckily we were able to do most of them inside. Miss A was wide awake until she had a yummy bottle and her aunt Kathryn’s arms to put her to sleep. Then she woke up just in time to pose with her daddy a little more. Enjoy this little look!
