Tracey and Jeff (and Shiki) are expecting their first baby in April.

Shiki was a bit nervous of the camera, so I had to shoot fast once we got her into position:

I hope Shiki will remember me when I return for the newborn shoot!

Thank you Tracey and Jeff! It was wonderful to spend the time with you and Shiki. I look forward, as I’m sure you do, to Nate’s arrival in April!

They came all the way from Switzerland, for a brief visit with family (and to get married!), and in between all that we had a wonderful session in a downtown hotel room.

Baby Maddy was a sweetheart and had the most amazing blue eyes!

Mom, Dad and baby:

We had great light from the large windows for our session:

The windows made for wonderful catch-lights in Maddy’s beautiful blue eyes:

Mom and Dad have gorgeous eyes too!

Thanks Stephanie and Roar! I hope your wedding went well today! I will send you a link to your private online gallery soon!

It was time for haircuts again!

Rebecca, before the haircut:

Noah, during his haircut, he is amusing himself with his sister’s gameboy. You’ll note the lovely injury to his right eye that he received in gym class yesterday. I have cloned it out in his other images from today:

This time Rebecca had her haircut in front of the bright window (last time it was Noah):

Some of you may have noticed that my website and this blog were unavailable for more then 24 hours. Maybe you have emailed me and I haven’t responded? Well, my web server provider has had a HUGE hiccup with one of their servers. My site and email run off that server. They have the websites up and running, but they are still working on email….

To say this has made me a little sad…

Feeling kind of down…

Somewhat depressed…

And annoyed…

Would all be true. But in the end all you can do is lie back…

Wait for the next snow storm to arrive (today!)…

Grin and bear it…

As tomorrow is another day.

I hope all will be back to normal soon! And will respond to any email that I may have received as soon as possible.

Went on a location scouting outing for an upcoming shoot with a friend and the kids.
