A Beautiful Family



Click the picture
— or click here —
for Paige and John’s fall pictures. When the show is finished, it will jump back here where three special children will get a chance to answer one of life’s toughest questions.

I love the picture above: my signature un-portrait.



Love this one too for the energy in the shot — all directed at the very center of the picture, and yet, not.



Stunning eyes!



More stunning eyes!



And a stunning smile!



My poser.



Not posing. (Is the flow of the falling sand cool or what?)



It was a gorgeous afternoon in Spring Lake!



Love her shoes!



If this one doesn’t make John’s “must have” list, I’m doing something wrong!



Hugging the family dog.



There’s also pictures sprinkled throughout the slide show from Halloween. I loved the adorable homemade costumes.

And now for the big mystery question, to be answered only by the children in THIS family. (Children: you can send me e-mail to answer, or just tell me the answer the next time you see me.) Blog readers: feel free to leave a comment to help the children answer the question by giving them HINTS.

Here’s the question: Listen to the lyrics of the slide show song carefully. WHO IS “YOU”?

Coming Soon: Spring Lake



One of my all-time favorite clients booked me for a new family session this fall. Their pictures are coming soon, but I just had to share this one from Spring Lake Beach. I LOVE the clouds, the water, the calm ocean, the depth, the light, the motion, and of course, the red bucket. Nice, huh?

If you haven’t checked out my galleries lately, be sure to go to my main photography Web site and click the links under “lifestyle” for lots of pretty new fall pictures that don’t necessarily make the blog.

By the way, I get to call John and Paige “one of my all-time favorite clients” for a very good reason. Besides the fact that they have adorable children and are TOTALLY into the lifestyle photography mindset, I lovingly refer to them as my “Six Degrees of Separation” family. The vast majority of my clients can be traced back to the word-of-mouth referrals I got from their first session in summer of 2006, and the word-of-mouth referrals that I got from the families John and Paige referred, and so on and so on. I think the degrees might be up to more like eight by now, but it’s still happening! And then a new client came along for maternity pictures, Beth, who started the process in a new web of referrals, so now I have two diagrams, with pretty much every single client tracing back to either John and Paige or Beth and Isaac.

Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE documenting the American family through the photographic essay?

:D

It’s a happy Monday!
