Hope

Do you remember being pregnant? Are you pregnant now? What did (does) it feel like? What emotions did (do) you feel? (comment below - I'd love to hear!) My mother couldn't understand why I photograph pregnant women - until she saw this image. Think of all the emotions surrounding pregnancy. They run the gamut from excitement and joy to fear and uncertainty. So much is out of our control. But we have hope - hope for a healthy child and mom; hope for more love than we can even imagine; hope for a new family; hope for a…

A New Baby!

When I walked into that hospital room and saw his daddy holding him I was overjoyed. And when someone put him into my arms my heart melted. The baby is my niece's brand new baby boy, the first of his generation in our family. I was lucky enough to meet him when he was just 1 day old. And best of all, I was able to document his great-grandparents - my parents- seeing him for the first time. The moment was so full of emotion. This baby is my parents very first great-grandchild. I am so looking forward…

Best Mother’s Day Ever!

Twenty two years ago, the Friday before Mother's Day, my son came home from a 5 week stay in the hospital, 4 pounds 5 ounces, 16 inches long.

Merit Winning Portrait

I am so happy that my portrait of Karl won a Blue Ribbon! I entered it in the competition held by the Guild of Professional Photographers of the Delaware Valley. The competition was held on Sunday at Dennis Kelly Photography. There were so many great images by talented  photographers in the area. I am excited that my  portrait of this adorable dog was one of the images deserving of a merit. This pup was about 6 months old when I photographed him. He is a great dog, so sweet and gentle, despite his large size and occasional clumsiness.…
