iseethemoonphotographyx.jpg And all my days are trances
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy dark eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams -
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.

- Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)
"To One in Paradise" (1834)

hmm..i sense dissension among the ranks....

"which of these kids is not like the other....?"  lol!  look carefully and you will see!  thank you for a fabulous  shoot muehlberg family!  it was hot, and humid...and buggy....but we made it through.  hoping the twins (or sox) have a great season, however, i'm an angel's fan and remain loyal. :)

little girls, like butterflies, need no excuse.

oh my darling ada ruth....how i fell in love with you.  such a loved wee thing you are, and what a bag full of dresses you had!  i quietly said to your doting grandmother before we drove away for your shoot, "goodness....i don't see how we'll keep her happy shooting all of those clothes!" - but we did. (although just a small sampling are shown here!)  oh the fun we had!  oh the grass you ate!  congratulations to john and kimberly on a gorgeous baby girl to love.  missing her as i write this, i hope to see you all again soon! xo

 

oh goodness...did i forget to add a picture of the girl with NO clothes??? i think i did!  i shall add it below.... ;)

very cool...

i had an awesome session with ty - a senior this year at ellendale high school.  ty loves music, especially metallica, and i totally dug his red guitar.  part of our session took place in his home town of ellendale, and i loved his funky old main street and endless locations that could have had us shooting for days.  hope you love the pics ty - have a wonderful senior year and savor each moment.

christmas is just around the corner.....really! ;)

ok....it's silly really how long it's been since i've blogged.....i had this grand idea that i would create a new blog, thus abandoning this blog....but alas....the new one is not yet finished, and i have a bunch of sneak peeks that i would love to share.  so....onward and upward, and hopefully you will see a new and improved blog very shortly.

 

i had the pleasure of shooting a beautiful family for their christmas cards this year!  we had a lovely evening on our family farm, and the light was simply splendid.  such a beautiful family - all of them - and those blue eyes are to die for.  crazy to think that the holidays are almost upon us, but in the photography world, the "season" has begun!

 

thank you weisenberger family for a lovely day!
