Our Dirty Hairy Child

As I walked around the house the other day putting miscellaneous toys, clothes and sippy cups back to their rightful place...I noticed Miao (my-o) was following me everywhere. This wasn't unusual behavior as he's a needy dog always seeking your approval and attention. However, he was whining and he NEVER whines. I turned on the vacuum and chased him around the house (not literally, but he does his best not to act whimpy when it's on) hoping he'd stop. No such luck...so what do I do? I open the sliding glass door and tell him to "GO PLAY!"

3 hours later he's still at the edge of our backyard in the woods looking at the ground as if the dirt was the most amazing thing he'd ever seen.

alas, the pictures from his adventure....and mine:







I love a wet lab :)

My Mom

I thought it only necessary to post a blog about my mom today...since she is my #1 blog stalker...(Surprise, this one's on YOU)! Happy Mother's Day :)


My mom gave me some old photos of herself a long time ago and I've always kept them in a little keepsake box. This is my favorite because I see so much of myself in her:





and this one just reminds me of myself and Gracie...



Thanks for letting me share. I'm going to start a project called Generations. I would like to have a storyboard made with portraits of my grandmother, mother, myself, and Gracie. I'll be sure and share when it's complete.

Happy Mother's Day!!

Family Session

Last night I spent the evening with the "G" family! You might remember Miss "S" from last fall. We started off at their home then visited North Strabane Park. The weather was beautiful again and there was not a cloud in the sky. I enjoyed capturing the kids together doing what they do best....being kids!



Check out this beautiful family:

6 month old Cutie Patootie!

Yesterday afternoon I got to meet with little "A" for his session at Peterswood Park. He was such a happy little angel the entire time and gave the most wonderful expressions. Not to mention he has the most gorgeous blue eyes...and ya'll know I'm a sucker for the blue-eyed ones ;)!

Thanks to mom and dad for their endless entertainment going on behind me! Enjoy your little sneak peak:

Shoot & Learn

Last night I went to David Burke's first Shoot & Learn mini-workshop. I love hanging out with other photogs and talking shop! I walk away happy and more energized to go out and create beautiful images. And it doesn't hurt if you end the night at Mineo's Pizza either :). Have you read my bio??!! Photography, People and Pizza....what a perfect night!!

So, Vic calls me later in the evening and says "hey babe! You outta shoot Bridget and put it up on your blog that it's Cameron Diaz. You'll be famous!"

So here's that shot...I'll let ya know when I'm famous:
