Sweet Myra

Myra on the Mirror

As I mentioned in an earlier post - here is beautiful Myra on the mirror but I couldn't resist posting the sweet one of her in blue either.  This baby on the mirror shot is especially fun for me because her big brother Ryan (he's three now) was my very first baby I photographed on the mirror.  At that time I wasn't sure about the technique but I had the portrait already created in my mind and was determined to photograph it to show his mom.  I figured I was in for a challenge.....not the case. Ryan simply sat down and worked with me.  It was truly magical.  Now, not only is his mirror photo a 20x30 in my studio but I have had the honor of photographing many more babies on the mirror.  It is so rewarding as an artist to have a vision and have such wonderful clients and models willing to let me play.  I love this job!

I can hardly believe it is only Wednesday because this week already feels like I fit at least twice that into it!  (I am not complaining - just marveling!)  Between photo sessions and proofing sessions and creating print orders I have had the extreme pleasure of meeting with Bernadette from Luxe Salon & Spa on J Street.  (You can visit their website at:  http://luxe-midtown.com/-.html) Luxe is funky and modern and sleek and they have a host of very talented beauty professionals there.  I had been experiencing a rough start to my day before arriving (you know the kind, all red lights, split coffee, trying not to run late!) but the moment I walked in there I took a big deep breath and just felt more relaxed.  Imagine if I had an appointment for a treatment or new do! :)  Bernadette and I are working on a project where Fred will hang some of his Sacramento CityScape images and I will create some fun portraits of their staff for the walls - and hopefully their website too!  She and I have a few more ideas of some fun upcoming events that are in the brain storming phase now but I promise to share as soon as I have more details!
