Look at this little guy...

Just days old.
I love looking at newborns; who knows who they will be,
what they will do, or where they will go in their lifetime.
Could he be next Eli or Tom (the Superbowl is this weekend)?
It's so amazing to just look and wonder.

A collegue of mine...

aked me to photograph her for her website.
In photographing her I knew that I could be
completely creative, and could have fun. So
here are some of the shots from the session. Oh, and
Aly is a great person, and a great photographer.
Check her out at www.alydarinphotography.com
Oh...and check out her vintage camera collection.
I'm so jealous...

Photo Tip#1

I'm often asked, what can I do to take better pictures.
So I thought I would share some easy tips that Moms
and Dads can do to improve the look their images.
So here goes...

Get closer. That sounds so obvious, but I find, most people
do not follow this rule. Especially with babies and kids, you
can't get too close. We've all seen the "where's Waldo" type
photograph where you can't even see the subject because all
the stuff so busy around it. This is so true for the little ones.

So there you go...get closer...and then get even closer and
then you are probably close enough.

I'll post another tip soon....

tomboy ballerina...

my daughter broke her arm just days before christmas.
with all the hoopla of the holidays i realized that i had taken
a picture to document this (this definately deserves a page or
two in the scrapbook). so we had some fun. here are just
some of the images.

Out with the old...

Well, not really. But I am purging some files off my hard drive.
The Holidays are quite busy for Joey LuLus! so needless to say its time to move
files. I decided to give everyone a look at my favorite holiday
card creation. The one for my family and friends. And of course
it features the world's most girly 7 year old twins.
Enjoy

Future Post:
HOW DO YOU MANAGE ALL THOSE FILES????

A Bouncing Baby Boy!

I'm so excited, I just got a call from a friend and she is ready to have visitors to meet her new addition.
OK...side note, the holidays are tough enough imagine a C-section on December 26th.
Yes, the Rheault family welcomed there bundle Drew William the day after Christmas. JOY!
I will take pictures soon.

A baby, boy or girl is so excited, but with the Rheault family they decided to wait to find
out what they were having. The are already blessed with 2 girls, and I'm sure the tempation
to find out was there. Image the glee that must come with this ultimate gift...a
day after Christmas. Needless to say, i'm so happy for them.

So what do other think, or what did others do?
We had twins and didn't find out what we where having.
Some say that was crazy. But for us it mad the ultimate gift a little bit sweeter.

I'd love to hear from you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2008

I just love the new year. Don't get me wrong, the holidays are great, but
I always look forward to getting life "back to normal"
No more over-eating, no more over-spending. The new year brings a time to assess goals,
a dream to believe you can be what you want to be....
Okay this is starting to sound cliche, which is not the intention. The intention
is to say I'm looking forward to this year, and I hope for everyone 2008
exceeds their expectations.
