April 2009

Lola had just woken up from her late morning nap. Saturdays (and Sundays) are her days to nap as she pleases, pretty much like all the other days of the week, really. She was not too happy to look up with me standing over her. Luckily for me, she was still in the lazy post-nap phase where she doesn’t move too swiftly.

Lola, you’re the best kitty in the world!

Lola: Up Close & Personal – Part III

Today is my Mom’s birthday! Along with my Dad, she has been my biggest fan all my life, and continues to be so. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support of both of my parents. My Mom believes in me, and always offers encouragement and positivity. She loves the color green, walking outside, being with friends and family, and sewing. Aside from hemming jeans and replacing buttons for me and my Dad, she has turned plain sweaters and cardigans into works of art by embellishing with beads and jewels, all by hand! She bought me my first sewing machine, which, by the way, I will need a refresher course on, Mom! šŸ™‚ She has been the loving glue that has kept our family close. She has always put the needs of others before those of her own, and for that, I cannot thank you enough. I am so lucky to have such great parents, and the best Mom I could have hoped for.
Thank you for all that you do, and for all that you are. I love you, Mom, and you deserve the Happiest Birthday yet!

I have been waiting ever so patiently for this shoot! We tried this a few weeks ago, but it was just too muddy at this location. Reggie was a great model, he just made it look so effortless. Here are some of my favorites.

Thank you, Reggie, you are the best! Love ya!
P.S. I’m the luckiest woman in the world.

This cloudy, dreary day lent itself to some fun photos of some of my husband’s project cars. Reggie wants some of these photos to be printed and framed to display in his shop! Here are some of my personal favorites.

More of these types of shots to come in the future…stay tuned!

Edited 03/13/09 to add: Images 1, 2, and 4 are taken from a 1973 BMW 2002 that we bought in St. Louis. Image 3 is from our 1984 BMW 318i. Image 5 is from a newer wheel. Image 6 is from Reggie’s newest project, the 1969 BMW 2002. Parts from the 1973 car will be used on the 1969 car.

Today is my dad’s birthday. Even though 30 years and 70-some miles separate us, I will always be his little girl. I am blessed to have a father who is sharp, witty, handy with a hammer, a wiz with numbers, thoughtful, generous, and much more. Little did we both know that we would share a similar passion for photography. I’ve never claimed to know it all, except when I was a teenager maybe, but I have learned that he’s part of the reason why I’m doing what I’m doing now, and loving it! Over the years, my dad has had several cameras, mostly film, and now enjoys the ease (or lack thereof, at times!) of the digital age. Lately, he’s been working on converting slides to digital files. And this weekend, we’ll get to see the fruits of his labor. And we’ll have cake!
Happy Birthday, Dad!
I love you!
