It's the $#*+ that makes you groove mama.

Are you feeling the Black Eyed Peas today? I am. I can't get the song out of my head. Taking the kids to school, on the treadmill, drinking coffee, I can't stop singing, "Hey Mama". But I only know that one sentence, so it's driving me nuts. Yesterday was worse. I couldn't stop singing "churning and burning, she yearns for the cup". I'd written it in an email to Kal, thinking it was by Beck. Then my musiclapedia husband corrected me this morning. "That's not Beck, that CAKE". Whatever, they're pretty much the same thing.  :)

No, I don't really have a point. Want to see the rest of the hottie-mommies? You all probably know Melody by now. If not, what you should know about her is that she is a SUPER PLANNER. Every shoot I have ever done for her, is always perfectly coordinated and well thought out. Outfits are not purchases last minute. They are researched. They are embroidered. They are hand made. And they are not found at Target. They are found at etsy. She is also, always prepared for anything. Hungry kid? She has a snack. Torn pantyhose? She has a sewing kit. Surprise hurricane? She can build you an underground shelter. I don't know how, but she will find a way to do it with the items in her purse. And this is why I was not in the least bit surprised by the fact that Melody, a. had the creative idea of becoming a pin-up girl, and b. executed it perfectly. If you want to see all her images, she posted her pass word on her blog here.

My friend Suzanne.

She was last in the day, and such a trooper too. We were so booked, that by the end of her session we started losing daylight. These were taken underneath a light that was mounted to the ceiling outside one of the shops in that area. They ended up being some of my favorite shots of the day. It's funny how sometimes "negatives" can turn your path into something better than what you had planned.

Suzanne with Tina who did the catering. And she will be doing the next one too! So if you're not booked, get on it. Her food alone is worth coming for. I'm serious. I'm still dreaming about those stuffed tomatoes Tina.

Thanks again to everyone! It was a blast, and I can't wait until the next one on March 15th!

These women are gorgeous! Here's to HAUTE MAMA'S everywhere. Nice job, as always.

And I loved what you said...'It's funny how sometimes "negatives" can turn your path into something better than what you had planned.' You have such a way with words, just like mom.

This is the first time that I've stumbled across your site. I just joined a site called Photojojo that had an advertisement from Squarespace on it. I clicked your site and was charmed, captivated and totally infatuated with your shots. I took the time to view every one of them but did not have the time to read all of your posts. The blogs that I did read were just as charming as your pictures. You have a delightful sense of humour, you are a joy to read as well as a brilliant photographer. You make every shot seem effortless, fluid. Your love of photography translates into your work, your art. The only complaint I have is that I am WAY out of the 90 mile radius. I look forward to many more posts/pictures of yours. Keep up the good work!
