Jazz Man...

I know I've been away from the blog for a while...sorry about that! This has been SUCH a busy month for me. I seriously cannot believe that November is already ending. How did that happen?

This Wednesday, I will be presenting Part 2 of "Photography & Your Kids: the basics." The class will begin at 7:00. If you missed Part 1, or would like to go over it again, come at 6:00 for a review session. I am not charging any fee for the class; however, I am asking for a minimum 50PLN donation per class to go towards my favorite charity: One Heart, Bulgaria. Send me an email if you are interested in attending.

I don't like to post without a picture, so here's another favorite of my oldest son (11) from our family session recently. He is a stellar musician, specializing in piano, baritone and voice. He auditioned a couple of weeks ago for the Middle School competitive band that travels to Russia in February. He didn't feel very confident that he would make the team as a 6th grader. Nevertheless, he surprised us this morning with the news that he made the cut! Woo-hoo! He is so excited!

Meet the Robisons...

It's a miracle...our family will have a picture to put in the Christmas card this year!!! Do you have any idea how long it's been? I guess that is the fate of photographer moms like myself. I spend so much time photographing other families that I don't have time to take pictures of my own! We made a very last-minute decision on Tuesday to throw ourselves together for a picture. I think we did ok. What do you think?

Made in Holland...

I'm so excited to share a sneak preview of this gorgeous Dutch family that I shot on Saturday! They were so great to work with, and were willing to do pretty much anything I asked them to do. I love that! Thanks for a fun session, "v" family!

Remember Mr. Rock Star?

Well, here he is again! This time we did a few quick (well, really quick) studio shots with his new baby. It's just so hard not to look cool while holding a guitar, isn't it?

"You say it's your birthday..."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Carla!!! This post is dedicated to my big sister, Carla, who is celebrating her birthday in Texas today... yee-haw! I'm not giving away her age, but let's just say that she's older than me and be done with it. Love you, sis! Have a great day! You deserve it! And by the way, yes, we do look alike. But she got all the curly hair and there was none left for me:(

Mamma Mia!

Why do Italians get all the good looks? It's not fair! Here is a sneak peek at a session I just had with these two gorgeous sisters. We drove to some horse stables outside of Warsaw where the older sister takes riding lessons. Beautiful stables, beautiful afternoon, beautiful girls. Enough said.
