Last Sunday, October 11th, I gave birth to our daughter at 7:37 p.m. after 17 hours of hard labor. Today was the first day I was able to get some portraits done of her. She wasn't happy though, she cried and peed on me. But hey, maybe she is just modest. :) We are so glad to have her in our life.

I remember getting hold of various cameras as a child and falling in love with taking pictures. These pictures were never works of art, usually snapshots of my cat in various clothes or with various props, "smokey at the typewriter", "smokey in my ballet outfit", but they were fun for me. I also remember my parents being none to pleased with the amount of film used to take these works of art.
So much has changed now. With digital, kids can run wild and be as photographically free as they want to be. I look forward to handing our daughter our digital camera and seeing her go. So I am a little biased, hence the onesie in the photo. I can't see myself as a "soccer mom", but definitely a "photography mom".
For those keeping track, 39 weeks down. ;)





I don't do many still lifes but couldn't resist a few of some of the items in the nursery. A vintage pink dress that was worn by me as a newborn and some vintage baby mocassins. Only 3 weeks to go!





From my session with the Boles Family. Such a fab little family, doesn't hurt that the little one is my husband's godson. :)





Last weekend I joined the Toole Family on a excursion along the Yadkin river. These are some of my favorite captures from that day.

The book In Her Own Image, a fantastic 316 page collection of self-portraits from 87 women of all different ages, nationalities and artistic styles, is now available for purchase!! This is the second publication of the FSPASG (Female Self-Portrait Artists’ Support Group), a collective of female photographers from around the world. 'In Her Own Image', will offer all profits from the book to Madre, an international women’s human rights organization. The proceeds go straight to Madre as soon as you click to place your order. The book took months to put together, to design and tweak, to legitimize and to organize the charity involved, and now we are over the moon to finally be able to publicize the finished product!
