so soon, the snow

It's fall. And for the most part, it's felt like it. Occasional warm days, occasional cool ones. Breezy, sometimes gusty. Sunny, with sunsets that glow. But from the looks and sounds of it outside right now, that's all about to change. The cold is coming. Winter's still 30 days away, but somehow I don't think that matters.

So, here's to hot chocolate and happy holidays!* Glad we squeezed in a few more sessions over the past few weeks. Here's a sneak peek at some of the shots ... (Too many to discuss lenses and lighting and cameras, but if you have a question about one of them, don't hesitate to ask!)

Years and years in the making

Most of the shots here were taken with a 70-200mm lens and our Canon 5D, various lighting arrangements. More to come...

The art of interpretation is not to play what is written.

family's in town

It's always so nice to have family in town. Hanging out. Going around town finding wacky places to eat. Good conversation. Good to catch up.

But you don't get anything done! Still: we wouldn't change it for the world. In the few, random, spare moments, we've done a little photo work, and here's a sneak peek of one recent outing:
