2009

Wow! I cannot believe the date. I remember when I was a teenager and thinking ahead in my life and how OLD I would be when 2000 rolled around. Now I am REALLY old. Not really I guess. My life has taken on so many twists and turns in my 51 years on this earth and I know it will face more in the future. I wonder sometimes what it will hold and then I think of the old song that says "I don't know about tomorrow, I just live from day to day. I don't borrow from it's sunshine, or it's skies may turn to gray."
Life does not always turn out exactly as we had planned, but it always turns out, and I wouldn't change a thing.
With the present economic downturns I find myself in the same situation as everyone else, just going from day to day. But what a hoot that we can do what we do, and live our lives doing something that we love, rather than slaving away in some cubicle somewhere. Some people love cubicles...not me. I am beginning to asses the future though and to think ahead in my business decisions. If we plan ahead, we should do okay. The failure to plan is a plan to fail. Happy 2009 and lets MAKE it a great one!

Abi headshots in Victorville, CA

The wedding season is slow, so I am enjoying shooting some headshots. Abi called me last week and we just shot her photos on Friday. Some were studio shots and some were natural light. Here are a few of my favs so far.

GrandChildren

God's reward for not killing your own children....definition of Grand Children! Heehee. Love these little ones. They are the cutest little sweethearts on the planet! Well...I might be a bit prejudiced. We babysat them all weekend! What a chore and a joy at the same time. I am tired...I need a vacation from my weekend, but I sure had fun. These 3 are each 13 months apart and full of energy. The oldest (Patrick) slept with Lyle (my incredibly handsome husband!) and I every night and the youngest (Grace) stole "Papou's" heart. The middle guy (Rusty) is my birthday present as he was born on my birthday, April 6th so therefore my favorite...well not really. They are all SOOOO incredibly fun to be around and I am lucky enough to see them everyday!

Beauty and the Beast Auditions

This week at VVC where I teach they are auditioning for Beauty and the Beast and ALL of the students are hitting me up for head shots. When I do headshots I give them most of the photos in Color, Black and White, and Sepia. It gives them a variety of looks, because each has its own personality. This is Kathryn Gibson. She is a VERY talented actress. I would not be surprised at all to find her on national stages in the next few years if she continues to follow her dreams. A few of her shots.

Headshots for Disney Auditions

Well, another headshot session. Victoria is a student and aspiring actress and knock down dead gorgeous! We had a great session. She is so full of life and fun to be around. Her audition is coming up in a little over a week and we wish her LOTS of luck. Have fun Victoria!

David at Victor Valley College

Lovin' black and white today for some reason. I went to Victor Valley College today and shot some head shots for a theater arts major. David is fun loving and talented and we ended up the day with some pretty cool shots. When I do head shots I like to convert many of them to black and white and these are a few of my favs.

Shoot with Beckstead II

a few more favs from the shoot that I thought some of you might like to see.

Natalia in Hesperia

How fun is this! I got to do a photo shoot for Natalia, the daughter of Caroline, one of my past students. What a little cutie pie! A real SweetPea.
