In our house, winter is not a time to slow down. Winter is for indoor swimteam! Both my kids swim year round but my oldest is on a club team AND her high school team at the same time. Today was a high school meet, tomorrow is a club meet (if it doesn't get canceled … Continue reading Wintertime Activities
What a week
We have finished 10 days of January and I’m kinda ready to start all over again. Phew! Last week was a serious struggle. School has been up in the air and guidelines seem to be changing constantly to the consternation and frustration of parents and teachers. Add in two snow storms and I was physically … Continue reading What a week
Smize!
When my 5th grader hopped in the car at pick up today she was so happy to show off her new Green Team mask that one of her teacher's grandmothers had made. First of all, ADORABLE. This teacher is a young one and an absolute GEM. And her grandma sewed masks for a dozen kids? … Continue reading Smize!
Wrapping up 2021
Phew! 2021 was the most busy I think I've ever been and that's even with a pandemic and delayed scheduling of some big events and such. I'll have the numbers soon as I'm finishing up the books but for now, I'm at over 50 family shoots, a couple of graduates, a b'mitzvah, an elopement, some … Continue reading Wrapping up 2021
Welcome 2.0!
If you are reading this you've made it to my new and improved website. Well, not improved but new for sure since my website before was just my smugmug page with client galleries (no worries, that's still here! and will continue to be where your albums will be viewed and such going forward). My facebook … Continue reading Welcome 2.0!
Style Schmyle.
I think I use too many words. And exclamation points. Oops. And I don't care. It's weird writing a blog for a yet widely unknown website. Still waiting for my google business verification to come through. Still wading through oceans of information out there and over thinking EVERYTHING. Oh well. This will be a work … Continue reading Style Schmyle.
I am not a Salesperson
I had a very short career in retail senior year of high school. Only a few months squeezed between the end of winter swim team and before summer lifeguarding started. One of my besties had gotten a job at Express and helped get me hired. She was great - always one of the top-5 sales … Continue reading I am not a Salesperson
Happy holidays!
It’s winter break! We made it! Up here in Maryland (and NJ/PA where I grew up) public schools don’t get off till the 23rd or 24th. I feel like there were definitely some years where Christmas eve was a half day of school. Maybe I’m remembering it wrong but it was always a whirlwind day … Continue reading Happy holidays!
Real Photography for Real People by a Real Person
Wow. So much research done for this reboot here and I'm still feeling like a square peg in this world of photographic round holes. Basically I've come down with a list of things I *don't* want to do or be: I don't want to do themed seasonal shoots like ever. Apparently this is a thing. … Continue reading Real Photography for Real People by a Real Person
Perfectionists Unite!
In setting up this website I’ve had to go through THOUSANDS of images from all the years I’ve been shooting professionally. And by professionally I mean when kind friends agreed to pay me $50 back in 2009 to let me take their family pics to help “build my portfolio.” Bless them, I look back now and … Continue reading Perfectionists Unite!
