The title says it all; thank you so much for being so gorgeous, so sweet, so fun & so HOT!

So sorry for my poor, neglected blog; busy, busy with a lot of changes in my life, both personal & professional.  Happy to report my business will be expanding!  More info on that in the near future.  Also happy to report that I'll be moving to a new home with a designated natural light studio -- or "un-studio" as I've been referring to it!!  Again, more on that in the near future....  for now, enjoy those lips & lashes.

The Dandelions are early this year!  This is a great event, and a great offer -NO SESSION FEES!  

Last year, my schedule filled up really quickly, so if you're interested, please email me early!

A few shots at a similar event:

Went to Sunnidale Park, hoping to find some spring blossoms to photograph; disappointed there were only a couple of magnolia trees in bloom. Took a few random shots around and figured I really didn't get much. They sat in my "to proof" folder for a week untouched. Amazing what a different day & different perspective can make. I actually captured a lot that day; I'm pleased.

If you've tried to contact me recently and received no response; I'm truly sorry!  Please contact me by email, and I promise to get back to each & every one of you!  choochoo@choochoophotography.com

Every time I shoot a different baby, I think the same thing; Cutest.  Baby.  Ever.   This is Little Man "C", and oh my, if he doesn't earn that title at least once a day, I don't know who could.  Say it with me, you know you can't help it; Cutie Patootie! 

4 months is such a great age; oh yeah, another thing I say all the time!   Well, it is; lots of smiles, expressions & all legs & arms flapping!  ( Oops, Mom, I just realized I forgot to hide the sock marks -will remember when I post the final proofs! )

I always like to feature a close up when I'm giving a Sneak Peek on my blog, but I had such a hard time trying to decide which close up to feature.  Can you see why??  So, what's a photographer to do, but feature a bunch.  What expressions, I giggled & snorted through the entire set!

This is a very lucky little guy; he's coming into a musical family.  Mom & Dad both play piano, and often to him. 

Thank you, thank you "L" family for letting me meet your Little Man and being oh so photogenic!

Okay, okay, it's no surprise to me -I wrote the interview answers after all & took the self portrait, bit it's still pretty cool, okay?

After years in the Fine Arts, and running my Choo Choo Photography portrait business, I'm happy to now offer my Fine Art Giclee Prints through my newest Etsy store:  www.etsy.com/shop/choochoophotography.

Welcome to my world - well, little bits of it, here & there, this and that.   Definitely a different side to my creativity than my portrait work --I like to think I'm well rounded.

Above, from my Retro series; This is a display set, capturing the mood of bygone days; we all remember those times, the carefree summer days.

Above, "The Time Before, I Wasn't Here" from my Persistent Memories series; not all memories are clear, not all memories are our own.

Above "Medley" & below, "Sheltered" from my Layered Memories series; a mix of old and new, reflections on past and present.



Now until April 30th; mention this blog post and receive free shipping on your order.

Thanks for looking.

This is Miss "E", of the super cute cheeks & chubby thighs.   This is not how I first met Miss E though.

This is how I first met her, sleeping peacefully -and a sound sleeper she is, sleeping through a location transfer & an undressing! 

Soon she was awake though -Yay!!

Ready for some time with Dad... and Mom...

I just had to make a little series of these shots -she did pretty well holding herself up for all of her four months, but obviously prefers laying on her back!
