Happy Halloween from cute puppies

Sorry I've been away. But today is a special celebration. I rented a fabulous lens to test for some research I've been working on. This is what it can do, create awesomeness. My puppy was a fantastic model for the day. This shot truly says it all-I love you mom and happy Halloween and all, but seriously-screw you for making me put up with this costume. I will describe in more detail later, and I promise to be more active on my blog. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Omaha Senior Portraits Charming Young Man October in the park

I am seriously in love with my lens. I underestimated this piece of driftwood. And the level of awesomeness that this camera (i suppose i deserve some credit too) delivers blows my mind. We were hoping for some unique sunset shots but I'll take an overcast day any day of the week. Ian was a fantastic model to shoot, very kind and patient! And truly a charming young man! More to come soon!

Steve Jobs-An American Inventor

I have this quote among many profound quotes that I refer to now and then scribbled in my 'journal' book: Remembering you are going to die is the best way to avoid the FEAR that you have something to lose. -Steve Jobs.
He was an visionary and an inventor who never gave up on creating art. It was simple and beautiful and revolutionary. His inventions changed the way we use technology. Yesterday we lost an American inventor. RIP Steve.

Maddison October Baby Portraits in the Park

An afternoon in the park for an hour with a young mom and her 9 month old beautiful baby girl Maddy was a delight to shoot. Attempted a Halloween themed shot using a giant pumpkin as a prop was a failure! She was absolutely terrified of it! So we stuck with some sweet and candid classic baby shots. More to come sooooon!!!

Dr. Seuss knew what he was talking about

The message fro Dr. Seuss is brilliant. It's tough to UN-slump yourself. And this is what he means:
From Dr Seuss’ Oh! The Places You’ll Go!

Wherever you fly, you’ll be best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
Except when you don’t.
Because, sometimes, you won’t.
I’m sorry to say so
but, sadly, it’s true
that bang-ups
and hang-ups
can happen to you.
You can get all hung up
in a prickle-ly perch.
And your gang will fly on.
You’ll be left in a Lurch.
You’ll come down from the Lurch
with an unpleasant bump.
And the chances are, then,
that you’ll be in a Slump.
And when you’re in a Slump,
you’re not in for much fun.
Un-slumping yourself
is not easily done.

 Change is hard. Getting out of your comfort zone is hard. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. Like with a diet, if diets worked, we'd all be fit. Being lazy is like a drug. Baby steps can make anything possible. And in moderation. I like to have a nice harmonious balance of all things. This is a great kid's book. But my all time favorite is 'The cat in the hat'. Now that's a cat I could live in harmony with!
