Just For Mom

May 11, 2008

First I wanted to say thanks for all of the sweet emails and calls checking on me to see if I’m ok since I haven’t blogged in over a week.  I didn’t run off and join the circus, I’ve just been super busy with some top secret photo shoots and finishing up some Mother’s Day orders for my clients.

Today I traveled to Griffith Park to photograph three beautiful sisters.  They are surprising their Mom with these photos, so today they are going to show her this blog entry and surprise her with a few sneak peeks from today’s session.

Ok seriously, it is not fair to be this gorgeous!  Not fair not fair not fair!  But on top of being so beautiful, they were so very sweet and kind to me too.  I’m often asked if I photograph adults, yes I sure do, I just have children on my site for now, I need to add the adults to my site, it’s on my never ending list.  The best part about photographing adults, you don’t have to chase or bribe them!  Nice!

Here are a few sneak peeks just for their Mom.  I hope that all of you have a wonderful Mother’s Day!!!!!

Get it while you can

May 1, 2008

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ve probably already heard that Polaroid is going to stop making film and instant cameras. It’s already disappearing from stores as people begin stocking up, some for personal use and others are selling it on ebay. It’s already fetching a pretty penny on ebay even with it still being available in stores. So if you have a Polaroid camera, stock up now before it’s all gone. I hope that some other company will pick up the patent and will continue to make it. I remember when I was little that my Aunt had a camera from Kodak that did the same thing until Polaroid sued Kodak and they stopped producing the film, so she had the choice to keep the camera or trade it in for a Kodak Disc Camera. I think she kept the Kodak. For more of the story go here: http://www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2008/02/08/polaroid_shutting_2_mass_facilities_laying_off_150/

My friend Pete told me about a good deal on the film if you use a coupon from Staples. So I stocked up!

  1. PhotoSmith   -  

    i am sooooo sad about this, i hope that someone keeps Polaroid going! thanks for the info about Staples…my sister works there so I am off to visit her tomorrow and stock up before it is too late :(

  2. Danna   -  

    ohhhh I so need to stock up I don’t have a polaroid camera but I have a nifty polaroid transfer machine that will be useless without film :-(

  3. marie   -  

    off to go buy some…

  4. Stacy   -  

    I have never used a polaroid camera in my life, but knowing it’s going extinct makes me want to go buy one. Thanks for always keeping your blog so interesting!

  5. Brandy   -  

    I keep meaning to stock up, but always forget.
    Going to do it today!

  6. Agnes   -  

    we have a polaroid and i think they are so fun! read about this too and thanks for the tip about staples. i need to stock up!

  7. Anna-Karin   -  

    I should go and buy a couple of boxes so my kids can get to see what we used to ooh and ahhh over back in the 70’s. I think I still have a polaroid camera somewhere around here.
    Thanks for the reminder!

  8. Tony   -  

    I agree it is nostalgic, and have thought about stocking up, but what do I do with all my VHS tapes?

  9. Reb   -  

    I wish I had a use for it … but alas, I don’t even own a polaroid camera. Shame on me for not owning one, and shame on them for discontinuing such an awesome form of photography!

  10. Anna Mayer   -  

    I need to get me one of those, like, now! I have always wanted one and this is the push I needed. Cool picture, too.

  11. nina pomeroy   -  

    The end of another sad era…Good idea stocking up!

The Company Car

April 30, 2008

With gas prices climbing higher every day I guess I better start thinking of ways to save on my gas bill. Since I’m on location it seems like I’m always at the pump just handing over money for gas, then right back at it a couple of days later.

I saw a link to this car company on a forum that I read. Hmm what do you think? Maybe my new company car? There’s even room for gear in the back ;-) Check out these little hot rods. http://www.myersmotors.com/index.html

Or Maybe I should go with pink? ;-)

  1. Mary Beth   -  

    That is the best! I vote for yellow. :)

  2. Season Moore   -  

    Go with pink, the yellow is much too masculine :-p

  3. Carol   -  

    I think the pink one would be pretty easy to spot in a parking lot, and your daughter would probably vote for the pink too.

  4. Danna   -  

    OMG that is so cool!!! I LOVE these, don’t know if I could get all my junk into the trunk though……lmao that does not sound like what I am trying to say!

    I vote pink :-D

  5. PamN   -  

    WHERE do you find this stuff????

  6. Jennifer   -

    OMG, only you would find this. Awesome and so cute. I CAN SEE YOU in this baby - I really can!

  10. Tony   -  

    LOL, cool car

  11. ritz rivera   -  

    I knew visiting your blog today would make me smile…I vote for the pink!!! these are too c-o-o-l !!!

    haha!! pick me up!!! oh wait, I dont think i’d fit in that trunk :(

  16. Marmalade   -  

    That thing is adorable. Just two steps away from being a motorcycle!!

    I vote for yellow! Suits your branding well! Your co-worker (with the hole in her gas tank) should look into one of these…

  17. Anna Mayer   -  

    LoL!! I always come to your blog for a laugh and you ALWAYS deliver. I think PINK.

I don’t like to brag but…

April 28, 2008

I think my son has *the* best hair ever. We get stopped every where we go, everyone loves his hair. One time my husband took him to get it cut and they came home and it was all gone, he was so sad, he loves his curls and so do I. We were outside just a little while ago and the kids were playing in the sprinklers so I snapped a few of him. My sweet baby boy, and yes he is still my baby and always will be no matter how old he is.
