i went to high school with janelle and took pictures of her son during my portrait module for CDIA almost 2 years ago now.  she contacted me because she wanted to do a maternity sesssion in the studio, wearing all white against black.  you got it!  :)  her husband, prisnel, posted that the little one was born earlier this week, weighing in at 7lbs. daddy's little girl for sure! 

i'm going to post photos without the slideshow this time.  wish me luck.  :)
here are the parents.  janelle + prisnel.

oy.  portrait mayhem.  15 minutes for $25.  good times.  i set up a few sundays where my friends and family could experience my portrait experience on a budget.  you're in.  you're out.  buh bye.  the first day we had 10 or 11 groups scheduled and of course only half showed up...and all at once...at the end...when they weren't scheduled.  thank you friends.  thank you family.  LOL.  we made it work.

i'm just kidding.  not everyone was late.  :)  and my folks even showed up with bailey the pug princess.  KMD

i've tried to continue using the studio and profoto equipment from CDIA.  i love that school.  i still borrow equipment and space whenever i can.  don't take it away from me, CDIA.  lol.  once or twice a month i've held portrait days.  i can only do this on sundays because classes are scheduled in the studios throughout the week and on saturday.  when i grow up, i'll own a studio all to myself.  lol.  soon, kids.  soon. 

gabe is an actor.  he was just in spring awakening.
angie is an aspiring country singer.  go nashville!
TJ is an aspiring kiddie model.  go TJ.  it's your birthday.

what's the difference between a blog tag and a blog keyword?  no se.

just like the caf lady:  thank you, enjoy!  KMD

so one of the reasons why i went with ITDR was for these killer "blogshows".  how cool are these?  i first saw them on chenin boutwell's site.  she's cool for sure.  and i wanted to make an attempt to be just as cool.  :)

i wasn't sure how far to go back for this blog.  or where to start.  i figured the beginning of the year was a good jump off point.  i'll at least give you a glimpse into what i've done so far in 2009. 

this shoot was in february.  2 bands.  old friends.  road soda and katet.  both bands rock.  i need to go see both groups live real soon.  miss geneve rege was on hand because there was no way i could handle 2 sets of equipment on my own.  where are the photos of katet?  they are vertical images and i can't seem to size them correctly for the blogshow.  dangit!  and as the lady in my cafeteria at work would say:  thank you, enjoy!
