"I'm no model lady. A model's just an imitation of the real thing." — Mae West

This weekend's shoot was a family affair for my mom's company, Care-E-On Bags.  They are launching their new baby bag line.  They needed a model to help showcase the bags and my sister is pregnant with her first so she offered to help.  I think she made a great model, even with zero experience.  We had a great time, laughing along the way.  We shot bags - the outside, inside, all the accessories (change pads etc) and of course the shots with my sister.  Here are a few of my favourites.

Painting is silent poetry. ~Plutarch,

My canvas has finally arrived and I LOVE it.  The vibrant colours, the subject - everything.  I knew it was a good shot, but printing it on canvas has really made this print.  I can't describe it...all I can say is go see it or better yet, buy it from The Robin's Nest in Elmira.

"I don’t want to be a supermodel; I want to be a role model." — Queen Latifah

From the time Maria was born - over 3 years ago, she had a camera in her face.  When she was 2, I taught her how to "work it".  But it looked more like Elaine dancing (from Seinfeld) than a super model on a runway.  She would stick her hip out and point at the camera and squish up her face.  It was never my intention to teach Maria how to model, but more of a "see what funny thing my kid does" thing.  Over the years she has definitely developed her own .. ahem ...style.  Here are the latest photos from the Maria workin' it series.

Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job. ~Franklin P. Jones

I would never consider myself a pet photographer.  But on many occasions I get requests to include dogs (mostly dogs) in family portraits.  Of course...they are part of the family.  Poncho is part of our family too.  Here are some special moments I found with man's best friend.

As we were out for our daily, evening walk tonight, we followed our usual route.  Around the  neighbourhood, downtown and back home.  Downtown there are several cute, local owned high-end shops.  We also have Lazer Video.  The local convenience store/video store/ice cream shop.  I know - I'm making Elmira sound smaller than it is.  But it's true.  It's really the only ice cream place in town.  So when we walked past, Joe laughed at me because I said I couldn't wait to walk down with the kids on a hot, sunny summer afternoon and get an ice cream.  He actually laughed out loud.  I'm not sure why he was surprised.  Ice cream is one of my favourite foods...okay my very favourite food.  I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner...and I have.  The sad thing about this post is that I currently don't have any ice cream to eat, or take a picture of.  Here is a shot of my second favourite food.  I guess I can suffer tonight and snack on this.
