New Years NEWS.
I thought today would be a perfect chance to announce some news I have been waiting so long to share!! Exciting things are in the works for 2008. First being a big move very soon :) I'm so happy to say that I will be moving all the way from Atlanta to San Diego in the beginning of March!! Carrie and I will be teaming up to photograph many, many sessions together- something we both truly cannot wait for! This is only the beginning of many exciting things to come, so stay tuned!!!! Happy New Years everyone!!!!!!!
Some pictures... This is photographer Blair Blanks' newest baby girl, Marin. I had the pleasure of flying out to Baltimore after a Thanksgiving in sunny Florida. I definitely had some weather shock there! No snow, but cold, wet and dark weather. The lighting was somewhat of a challenge, but it was fun trying out new things. I did my first newborn session with studio lighting. We had to do some improvising, but I'm so glad we were able to make things work. She was a sweetie :)

Congrats, Britt, on your exciting news! I know you and Carrie will enjoy being so close to each other and working together on a regular basis. It will be sad to think you're not here in Georgia anymore though! :) Can't wait to see all the great work you guys do together.

Oh, I've been waiting to see these! Look at you with the softbox! Cool. It looks very natural. I have no doubt that you will rock at it if you ever decide to use one again. You are so good at seeing the right angle of light to use. It's nothing but a big 'ole fake window (:

I love the shot of the baby on the trunk. Very beautiful!

You rocked these as per usual.
Out of curiosity, how come the D3 sat this one out?
San Diego is lucky to get you. Good luck with the move.

Britt,
You will never know how much these mean to me. They are just stunning, so much more to me than photos. You truly have a gift, and a little magic, too.
Wow. All I can say is wow. I am humbled and honored that you were able to photograph my children.
