Bianca and her baby, Emily.
I'm a professional photographer from Fort Worth, TX who is trying to meet some balance between the calling of motherhood and professional portrait photography. Somewhere in between all the Photoshop work and baking cupcakes for school parties, the homework gets done and every now and then the kitchen floor gets mopped. Thanks for stopping by, both to friends and family, and also to new friends who meet me through my blog. Welcome to my world, I hope you enjoy your visit.
Yes, in case you're wondering, that is in fact a 100% authentic vintage Ghostbusters comforter Ivan is hiding behind. It's been in the family for years, and it's been part of some very special milestones for us. Did you know that we were snuggled up, feet to feet, under this blanket on the couch back in our north Dallas apartment when Michael proposed to me? *awww* As much of an eyesore as this blanket may be, it's got far too much sentimental value in it to get rid of it. Oh... and it's darn warm and cozy still too!
First let me start by clarifying, yes, I am indeed insane. I let my wee little hyper children who enjoy destroying Lego castles and block towers use my very big very expensive work camera. Ok, I'm crazy. But it was kinda fun! It was neat seeing Ivan concentrate and work to focus on the right focal point and it was fun to see Bianca's little sweet fingers struggling to hold the big camera in front of her face and searching to find the shutter button. It was a special moment of connecting with my kids on my turf for a change, instead of stooping to theirs, they rose to mine. It was fun. So, here it is, Bianca's professional portrait of her mommy and big brother. :-)
