Is this really my JOB?? I like this too much...

So, this shoot, with the Rubin Family was fun, was chill, was exactly why I love my work. I have a few photographs of myself and my sister from when we were pre-school age, taken by an art-student babysitter of ours. The photos are black and white and just so rich. I feel like those photographs tell more about us as kids than many of the family snapshots we have filling my mother's photo boxes in her cupboard. Well, these photos that I am sharing of the Rubins remind me of those photos I have of myself. And these photos, I feel, really represent how much I love to take pictures.
I hope you enjoy them too.

Beautiful, Fun, Mollie

This is Mollie. I met Mollie and her mom, Heather a few years ago at one of my Crackerjacks store events. I think Mollie was about 6 months old then..same as my daughter. Mollie is now four. Every time I see her (and her mom!) I have so much fun. She's energetic, into the camera, into me...and she and her mom both have this infectious laughter - it's wonderful. So, these photos are from our session last week. As promised, I have pulled out my old trusty 4x5 camera and used it with Mollie at my studio. We also did some regular old film like I usually do, as well as some digital stuff. We started at the studio, then just walked a block down to the cemetery (it's beautiful!! not scary!!!) and did some fun stuff there. Here are few snaps from our session.
