wayyyy tutu cute!!!!!
i'm still happily shooting for tutu posh and twirl couture - www.tutuposh.com
today's adventure was with teeny "s" and her tiny pink tutu. although she wasn't too sure of me, after some clever dancing and her momma's singing, she finally decided that the whole thing wasn't too bad after all. :) it was all i could do to contain myself, and not begin chewing on her! ooooo she is edible! and goodness sake! all the things she had to say! i am looking forward to working with this divine lil lady again next week for a holiday shoot!

exciting exciting!
i just got back from a week long shoot in the midwest. it was tiring to say the least, but i got to be with my family, and shoot in places i love to be. a couple of the shoots were very special, as lora from fabby gabby and tutu posh asked me to photograph some of their merchandise for the updating of their site! now, who could resist that??? i had a beautiful little model who pranced around the autumn leaves in her chocolate and rose custom made formal tutu for me. these are the 5 shots i submitted. i will let you know what if any are chosen! (fingers crossed!) you can visit their fabulous sites at www.fabbygabby.com and www.tutuposh.com

perchance to dream
from gray woods they come, on silent feet into a cone of light. a lifting note, o fair! o fleet! there the night through we take out pleasure, dancing to such a measure as earth never knew. Seumus O'Sullivan
just wanted to add some images that i loved from this summer. i have an endless supply it seems. this was from elizabeth's 'now i'm 3' shoot in the woods. friends and family posting on flickr is always so disappointing. :( i need her to be seen. :)

welcome to my world! now, it's not that i don't like to do the tasks that befall me...and i don't even like to refer to them as "tasks", per say.....however, when god was wiring my brain 38 years ago...he must have been deep in thought about something else, as he twisted and twisted my "decision making" wire far too tightly. oh the agony! the agony of completing the projects i love the most! everything has to be "right" and "perfect" and really, left with no room for a "better idea" or change. i would much rather not attempt or complete something that might speak about me, or my ideas, then throw something out that wasn't thoroughly thought through, hashed over, reviewed, and disected! oh! to live life on the edge! oh to open your cupboard and see that you are out of salt and head to the store to buy salt....no, i'll go days with bland food because how am i supposed to go to the store without my list? my list of EVERYTHING we need at THAT time, or MIGHT need tomorrow...and when am i going to have time to make that list? i don't. so i don't. so my eggs are dull in the morning.
i have files and files of favorite images that i've taken, but one day, yes, one day, i will know just how i want to edit them, or i will learn a new skill in photoshop that will improve that image beyond compare.....one day.....
the "drafts" portion of my email box is full. letters to people i admire. thank you notes, deserved letters of scolding, unanswered emails,.... love letters.
i have the most complete and informative blog i know of. it's insightful, emotive, revealing, vulnerable, humorous, and complete. unfortunately, only the path leading from my son's school to my home knows it's secrets. i write best early in the morning, or late at night when my brain is fresh or tapped. the edges of the day. (thanks jean :) i write in my head constantly - it's a neverending journal, and that's how i hear my thoughts. i dally to write on something called a "blog". i am turned off by ugly language. how do i put my inner most thoughts on something called a "blog" (lap your tongue out of your mouth as you say it). however, there is nothing more perfect for me, no better outlet than the invention of the ......blog.........why do i resist it? because what i write right now in this moment, won't be what i would have wanted to write yesterday, or will want to write this evening.......so why write? yet....i have an insatiable need for people to know me or understand me......yet, i'm so insecure.
oh! it's all misery, really! i love that i have been tagged! i love that someone is prodding me to tell 'more'. this entry, this #1 of my beginning, is very much living on the edge for me...i've re read what i've written, and am not satisfied, but, i'm going to leave it as is. i'll probably start an addendum somewhere...a post it, a draft, in one of my various notebooks spread round the house and car. i'll have every intention of explaining away what might be perceived as a foul mood towards this project, hoping i didn't lead you astray as to how i really thought about it, or something more clever will come to mind, or i might find a better picture of kids playing tag, or........i'll decide that i'm tired of overusing the ellipses....who knows how long i'll sit on #2.....don't think for a moment that there's not a list, a discarded list, of 8 random things sitting in a pool of spaghettio sauce left from a makeshift dinner the night before...a dinner that was actually planned to be home made sausage and scalloped potatoes...but wait...did i really want to make scalloped potatoes with that? what was it that mom used to make with sausage? hmmm..couldn't remember, so opened a can of the "o's" instead, and headed out to finally complete the "blazing tutu on angry youth against backdrop of crusty volkswagon" shoot i've fought with in my head for a year.....
yes, #2 will be painful. i'm satisfied with that.

tag......i'm it.......
ok, i've been tagged by deb http://www.debsphotographs.com/blog.html and matt nicolosi http://mattnicolosi.blogspot.com/ i'm slow to post my reply....mostly because i'm slow to post ANYTHING on this blog - reasons to unfold below.... or above.... or however this blog thing works....
the 'deal' (and matt, i borrowed your description of it...hope you don't mind - :)
remember the game of tag you played as a kid? yes, of course you do - consider that a rhetorical question. well, like most things from the back-in-the-day era, a new version of this classic game of hit-and-run has evolved for big kids. and like seemingly all things in our big kid lives, it involves technology to even get in the game.
the rules
post the rules before you give the facts. then post eight random facts about yourself that few people know. at the end of your blog post, you need to tag 8 other people and list their names leaving each person you tagged a comment on their blog letting them know that they've been tagged.
ok......the facts......
and i think you will understand why i am "playing"...... HOW i'm playing after reading fact #1.....which isn't even in this post........
carry on then.....

hidden treasures
sometimes when digging around in a vast sea of archived files, i stumble upon something overlooked...something passed up the first time i looked at it. this is one of those images taken months ago of a sweet little peanut of a girl on a very hot day - swinging to catch just a bit of cooling wind and a little quiet time. i fell in love with it tonight. she looks like her dear momma here, and this photo makes me long for the days when we were all small enough to be engulfed in a giant swing, and just have the passing view of the flowers and trees to ponder.
i never toss an image.....not even the blurry ones - i keep them all. i am still so utterly fascinated by the fact that we can freeze moments in time forever. it's for this very reason. with a little love and care, things that may have passed you by long ago may resurface - just when you need them. just when a little swinging on the breeze is all you need to pass the time.....and remember.
