the friendly beasts

So I also forgot to blog highlights from my holiday card session with the kiddos this year. The “friendly beasts” motif for our 2009 greetings came to me when I was hitting Cappel’s for some post-Hallowe’en deals and I saw these fabulous animal masks. We took advantage of an unseasonably mild November day and headed to Woodland Mound for a shoot along the beautiful backdrop of the Ohio River. I was so tickled with how it went that it was really hard selecting just a handful for the cards. I told myself that I’d be featuring all my favorites- both the ones that made the card and the ones that didn’t- here in the blog, so I reckon it’s high time I get-a-featurin’, then!














these go to eleven

Variety being the spice of life and all, I have to say it was cool getting to do a promotional shoot for Kremation- definitely a change of pace from business as usual here…

When my father-in-law was a young child, he received this ensemble as a souvenir/ gift; when our daughter was born, it was passed along to us, along with some great photos of “Paw-Paw” modeling it. We did a photo session with my daughter when she was the right size for it, and I wanted to make sure I didn’t forget to do a shoot with my son before he outgrew it. We even styled his hair to try and resemble his grandfather’s appearance at that age…
