Because of rain! I don't think any of us minded one bit not being able to go out to the Arboretum today to do Jenny and Mark's engagement portraits. Because it's raining!
Hurray for rain!

A friend of mine...
It's always a little weird to come across someone elses pictures of someone that has also modeled for me. Does that make sense? Anyway, I was peeking in on my friend Anne McMicken's website tonight and ran across one of my models in her portfolio. To be completely honest, her shots blew mine out of the water, but I also get nervous about shooting nudes. There is so much beauty in the nude form, but I am just not as comfortable working with nude models as I could be. Yes, I know, art school grad not comfortable with nudity, go figure.
Check out the portfolio, it's really good :http://www.annemcmicken.com/6851/index.htm but warning, these are nude fine art photographs. But they are beautiful :)

Family and other issues
I am playing catch up here at Bostiva due to some family issues and other personal matters. For those who know me personally, my best friend's grandmother passed away over the weekend. She was a wonderfu, strong woman whom I have know for 10 years and who welcomed me into her house and family as if I was her own granddaughter. She spent many years as primary caregiver to her husband of over 50 years until he passed on three years ago. She will be missed.
My grandmother was also recently diagnosed with stage 4 Colon cancer. She is doing well and responding favorably to the chemotherapy. My grandfather, the man I credit with turning me on the path to photography, is in the hospital as well, and is entering his last days. Please everyone, if you haven't already, take time to talk to your family and loved ones now about what you would want to happen to you if you were no longer able to make those decisions for yourself.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and well wishes, to both my family and to Sandy's. Bostiva is possibly about to undergo some changes, and I will keep you informed as they happen.

Jackson and Family!
Saturday was beautiful picture taking weather, and the Chrapowitzky family and I took advantage of that! I had my daughter with me, which was a good thing because she has a way with the little ones. Jackson was a little shy at first, but he warmed up after Danielle and I played with him for a little while.
It was such a wonderful morning. I loved being able to be outdoors walking around, and the family enjoyed being able to play out in the fresh air and sunshine!

Pin Up, Pt 3
The latest in the pin up series, a more traditional shoot with a beautiful model in lingerie. Rebecca came into the studio, and was absolutely fabulous to work with. We had originally planned to do a shoot with her and her fiance, but he wasn't able to make it due to furniture market. Well, everybody's got to make a living, right?
Anyway, we had a great time. Becky and I were very comfortable working together, which is so great when you are doing work of this nature. It's just no fun if everyone is all self concious and can't have a good time. Luckily that wasn't the case: we had a blast! And the pictures are wonderful, thanks to my great model!
