Meet Payton at 3 months old

This little scrapper needs to have his daddy come for photos so you can see his spittin image. Next time Matt!

LOOK WHO'S ONE!!!

She is the princess she appears to be in photos, what a doll! I could not take a bad picture of this beautiful baby girl. I loved them all it was really tough to pick!
Happy Birthday to Izzie!

"Charlie"

I love the photo of mom and dad kissing in the background, the look on Charlie's face screams-"don't they know that's what got them in trouble, watch out babymakapotomus"
He's good natured, and loveable. CHARLIE

Wasscly Wabbit, Jenna

Two proud parents, a lovely little girl, what could be better?

Isabelle, bright eyed..she's no sleeper

No matter how hard mom and daddy tried, Isabelle was bent on being part of the activity, she was not going to sleep. It didn't matter, she's a darling, active, baby girl.

IF.......

IF, she has her eyes and his smile......These soon to be parents will have their hands full.

Regardless you can bet she will be beautiful, just like mom.

Update from artists-eyes infirmary

You might recognize this guy by his LAPTOP, he's like the energizer bunny..still working...

An Early Happy St. Paddy's to one and all...we are in total recovery here at the ARTISTS-EYES infirmary.

RECOVERY

The Doctor reported all went well the surgery took about an hour and 45 minutes, he's in recovery waking up as I write this.

A sleepless night-no images with this blog

The alarm rang at 4 AM...neither of us had slept a wink, tossing and turning, hearing the wind, too hot, too cold, just thoughts of physical challenges that come in the days ahead. We arrived at the hospital at 5...repeated questions, check check recheck...and then Charlie's prep nurse appeared. What a great feeling to see a face we knew, she was my client for three of her kids senior portraits, two of which I had as students in high school. Talk of what they are doing and directions that I have taken after retirement help put a calming feel to the next steps. We had a few laughs, and as Janet administered the happy juice to Charlie, our eyes met knowing as he was babbling that the effect was at least that of two dirty martinis. Those of you familiar with Charlie know that with the third martini it's close to lights out. They promised to deliver that third medical cocktail in the operating room..with that and a kiss they wheeled him out. I will post again later.

BIONIC Charlie

In Case you are unaware, Charlie is getting a new lease on life tomorrow morning, that lease will be issued by Hartford Hospital in the form of a new HIP. Today's job is to tie up all loose ends, mental preparation, and hoping a universal consciousness visualizes him recovered and walking without the nagging pain he's had for years.

My job will be to hold down the fort, wait on him hand and foot, and keep all family friends and followers in touch with his progress.

They actually have already marked the spot---HOPE it's indelible ink!!!!
Keep us in your prayers tomorrow I promise to post tomorrow night.

Tricia and Dave (they are the luckiest!)

Wow! Family and friends gathered from all corners of the earth to observe this beautiful couple as they stated their love for each other. "We were actually the luckiest, because they chose Artists'Eyes to photograph it!" Thank you-->have a great honeymoon!

"snow flakes that fall on my nose and eyelashes"

Shoot.. Jeremy and Ashley don't even care if it's snowing.. I don't think they hardly noticed! If only the whole world could be in LOVE maybe the unrest would stop.

Jeremy caught his girl and is hanging on to her! Do you blame him?

WPPI Vegas 2009

Imagine 12,000 wedding photographers in one place, learning new tricks and having fun. That's what WPPI is all about. The two things that made the biggest impression on me were the fact that we have to believe in ourselves and nurture our strengths, and of course that no man is an island.
I loved the emphasis on helping each other, which I felt really meant something since we were there with our good friends and competition.. Spottswood Photography. Sarah and Steven have the talent, the looks and are such a delight we love them both.

A New Venture!!!

I'm getting ready to launch the best thing since sliced bread!!!
At last... a service that is affordable, convenient, manageable, and just a down right blessing into any one's life. It's an on line service providing delivered greeting cards with personalized messages, even your own photos! I plan to have this up and running in the next day or so..keep watching! It will make connecting more personal, gift giving easier, and you will become a designer in a snap!

No more whimpy cards printed on flimsy paper...looking less than exciting, get cards that are as nice as what you buy anywhere, with a big bite out of the cost!--and mailed direct with a click of the button!
