I use Flickr for photo storage and sharing, and am active in several groups and communities over there. As I’ve done in years past, I went through my top 100 photos (a set that is automatically generated) and made a set of the top 40 photos from 2007; this mosiac represents the top 25, in order of popularity. I thought I would share them here so you can see a sample of my some of my other photography. Meanwhile, I’m working on gathering up photos to revamp this site, change out the portfolio, and make it generally fabulous!
Thank you to all of YOU who helped make 2007 an amazing year!
Do you Flickr? Have a set of your top images from 2007? Let me know - I want to check them out!

Rebekah

I had a great time spending the morning with Rebekah and her parents at their house on October 12th. She had just finished eating when I arrived, and fell asleep shortly afterwards — resulting in lots of sleeping angel photos! She is just so beautiful, and such a sweet little girl!
I have known Rebekah’s grandmother for the past few years as she is also a knitter and is a member of the local knitting guild in addition to going to “Sit & Knit” at one of the local yarn shops. I’ve always known that she is a woman of amazing talent, but I had no idea how talented! Not only did she crochet the blanket that Rebekah is sleeping on in these photos, she also handmade and hand smocked the dress that she is wearing. It was just stunning, and I’m so glad we captured the heirloom in these photographs!
Special props go to Rebekah’s Dad for helping out and holding the background fabric for us — it was hard work, and it made the photographs perfect!
Blast from the Past!

I was looking for something handy on the hard drive to test out my new logo watermark on, and I discovered this gem that I didn’t post earlier this year! This is Cooper, a newborn that I photographed this past spring over in Austin, Texas. His grandmother, Julia and I have been friends for years, and she is a fellow knitter. When I went to his house for his session, I asked his mom to pull out some of the handknits that Julia had made so that we could use them in the photos. He was such a trooper through our session, I ended up with tons of photos of him!
Next time I’m in Austin, I need to make sure I stop in to visit him. From the latest photos I’ve seen, he is growing up fast! Ah, they don’t stay this young and sweet for long!
Ella, The Birthday Girl!

Earlier this week, I was invited by the fabulous Katie and Adam to come over and spend time hanging out with them for Ella’s first birthday. Just look at that cutie! How could I resist? I’ve actually wanted to get Ella in front of my lens since this past spring when I first met her - so there was no way I was passing the chance up!
She was happy and bubbly when I first arrived at her house - I always say that people are most comfortable being photographed in their favorite places. However, the light & I weren’t getting along there very well, so I suggested going out to the park. She went into serious Ella mode - but I promise she was all smiles before this!
Last Friday I got to finally meet Mary, also known as Ella’s Happy Buela. Mary & I have exchanged emails for months now, ever since she started listening to the Pointy Sticks podcast. We never got to meet up though until now - and I am so glad we got to meet! She was finishing up Ella’s new birthday dress that she made, and she brought it up to Twisted Yarns so she could ask questions about it. It was such a joy having her join us in the Friday knitting circle! And Ella’s dress was so cute! She wore the dress for part of her birthday, and we got photos of her in it too.
I hope to get to spend more time with Ella in the future - she has such a great spirit and joy!
