Amaryllis Update!

Since my mom gave me the beautiful amaryllis, I think it was appropriate that it [finally] fully bloomed on Mother’s Day. Totally worth the wait, don’t you think?

It just makes me happy (:

Thanks, Mama (:

So a while ago, my mom gave me an amaryllis in a box… quite an honor since I tend to kill plants in record time. I was putting off planting the doomed flower until my new loft/office was ready, and that time came a few weeks ago. Since then, J and I have been patiently waiting… and waiting… and waiting… while it got taller and taller (so much so that we had to put BBQ skewers in to hold the leaves straight! Last night we noticed that it was [finally] opening up a little, and when I woke up today I was excited to see a little color popping through!! I promised my mom I’d show her some pics as it bloomed, so here’s the first:

After it blooms we’ll put it in a fancy new pot and it will take its rightful place in my lovely office. THANKS, Mama (:

Family

I’d like to interrupt regularly scheduled programming to post a few images of my sister-in-law and her beautiful (and growing-up-way-too-fast) family…

I love this out-take of Sarah and Noah – sometimes the best images come when no one even knows the camera is clicking!

And one last one – three generations… aren’t they beautiful?!

Okay, guys… you have to wait until Christmas to see all of them (:

VOTE.

Hi, everyone (: Sorry to have been MIA around here… had a little surgery on my ankle a couple of weeks ago, so I haven’t had any photo sessions, and won’t have any for a couple more weeks. I can’t go that long without posting, though, so here’s a little shot of Jack to keep you company.

I have some other fun stuff to post in the meantime including a group shoot with some “vintage Shanghai women,” apple-picking adventures, of course more cat pictures (ha!), and more!!

PS :: GO VOTE!!!!!

Travel :: Jamaica

Have you missed me??!! I’m sure you can understand why I wasn’t posting, given the view I had to put up with each day (*wink*wink*).

Seriously, though. J and I had a wonderful time in Jamaica! But we’re settled back at home now and it’s back to regularly schedule programming around here. Hurrah! So much catching up to do… a wedding, holiday cards, and of course more client images. It’s good to be home (:

Pets :: Mine are the cutest ;)

I think we’re all allowed to think that our pets are cuter than everyone else’s pets… but in my case, I’d be right! Here’s what our prettyprettyprincess Ruby was up to this morning…

And Mr. Furryhead (aka Jack), who is not feeling too well these days….

And the closest you’ll get to seeing them in a photo together (in which they aren’t being held down!):

I had just tried the old trick of bribing Jack to get what I wanted, but he was more interested in locating the treat I’d mentioned than posing for the camera. Luckily I’m quick with the shutter (:

Okay, back to business. Later today I’ll post the final images from the 8.8.08 wedding (two more posts worth!). It’s about time, right? I’ll be second shooting another wedding this weekend, so I guess I should get the other one all wrapped up here on the blog.

Enjoy!
