Adrea: Sugar... ah, Honey Honey...

I cannot take credit for the cuteness of this idea. This girl's parents call her "Sugar" and worked tirelessly for two hours to get this little sweetie comfortable and sleepy.

Adrea: Another Favorite

so it goes ALL by itself.

You know, my favorite of all favorites seem to be couples moments. You wouldn't peg me as a romantic, would you? Unless you know of my fervent Harry/Ginny ship...

Another note. I appointed a critic (aka my mom) to take a pass at my galleries before I send them to clients - so she can tell me that actually some things I thought were great look ridiculous or she catches any number of things. She has a passion for centeredness however that I do not share.

So of course the above picture went on her radar. The problem is, usually about a month after a shoot I look back and more often than not, end up agreeing with her. This time I really really like the off center. I checked with the client (since we are friends, it didn't sound like I was digging for reassurance... I hope) and client likes it off center (is she just saying that? we'll never know).

The question becomes... what will IIII think in the long run? So far, I am snobbily retorting that though the couple is off center, the hall is dead center... so it works. But... time will tell.

Adrea: Shoe Fettish

I have come to realize that I have some sort of photography foot fettish. It all started because Sarah was taking torso shots, and for some reason when I tried that sort of style, I came up with the feet. And the first time I tried was with Claire's family where only Claire was short enough to be in the shot completely and it was very cute and successful. Now I usually try for a similar thing because I'm often surprised what gets caught in the body language of our legs and feet... and the cool shoes people wear (highly ironic since I buy shoes once every five years and complain anout it the whole time).

Anyway, after editing the Q's shoot I realize I've obviously gone off my rocker. Here are all the ones I chose to edit... which means there are countless more I did not!







In my defense, some of it does have to do with shooting families with small children.
