One crazy cat.

Do you like her hat? She insisted on wearing it all the way through the grocery store yesterday. It was awesome.
These are currently her favorite shoes. She claims they give her fire feet. First she announces her fire feet, then kicks her feet up, makes a whooshy noise (to simulate a flame source) and then screams. Gotta love this girl's fashion sense.
Her brother described her as a "festival of badness." She is so cute that she gets away with it all!

Take note...



This is what true love looks like. These guys are the real deal. All of these kisses, all of these laughs are real - not done at my request. These two know how to laugh together, and I am starting to think that is the secret to an amazing marriage. Can't wait to spend their wedding day with them, I think I better bring some Kleenex - either for tears of joy or because I'll be laughing 'til I cry!


Congrats Andrea and Scott!

So excited

About this:




and this:


I have not been this excited about cast lists since I found out Simon Pegg was Scotty! Looks like Alice will be out in March of 2010. Yay - this year I got Watchmen for my birthday and next year I will get Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman in the same movie. And Matt Lucas as Tweedledee/dum? Perfect. Yep - it's gonna be a good birthday.


And just heard about this!

Quote of the week

"I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
— Marilyn Monroe


(This is how I have felt all week)

It sure has been a rough week. On more than one occasion I had to warn my husband that what was about to come out of my mouth is mean and most likely un-called for, but it was coming out whether he liked it or not. I can handle stress like a champ, I just need to have a private breakdown later on. When you are married with children, private time is something you really don't get. Luckily I have a husband who is more than willing to ride out my breakdowns and cheer me up later. Thank goodness for him.

My kids are weirder than your kids.


My picture window needs a good scrubbing now.
Thanks, kids!

I love to shoot dancers.



Okay, that title was just meant to sound silly, but it is the truth. I look forward to the NKU Dance performance all year. Photographing dance live is such a challenge. You see, most of those awesome stop action dance shots in magazine are done in a studio with very controlled situations. Live dance is a toughie do to high action and low light. But when you get it - oh there is nothing like it. I love shooting dance. Lighting designers also go wild with dance shows. Lighting dance is all about highlighting the line of the body not the face : this leads to much more artistic designs. Love it all.
