A huge reminder to me of how fast our children grow. I had a blast shooting my friend Joanne’s little girl yesterday. She is just six months old and I believe that she has had three haircuts already. My son was bald for a year! Thankfully, he now has a gorgeous head of hair at seven and we’re into the losing tooth faze.

My BEST friend
July 18, 2007
My Best friend since we were four years old is the most amazing musician. She is currently working on yet another CD, and we did some experimental shots the other day. I’m only going to post one because more shooting is planned and I want to be able to add her links in my next post. She is such a beautiful woman! Her name is Carrie Johnson. A lot of her previous albums have been made with her sister Libby (also an incredible artist) with the band then being called Twenty Two Brides. Ironic that I end up shooting weddings. I think these two girls would make great “trash the dress” models. I am officially planting the seed!

TTBRIDES — Best Friend Here!! There is no better feeling than looking at an image of yourself and feeling like whoever took that picture captured the real me - and made me look beautiful to boot!! I am the lucky one because MY BEST friend just happens to be one of the most talented photographers and artists I have ever known.
Since I have known Cynthia (That's Cin to me of course) all my life, I have borne witness to her artisitic "eye" and am always amazed at the way she sees the world. It's not like I do. Cin can capture a moment, a blossom, a fallen leaf, a mood, a celebration - but not just with her camera, with her connection to life! Like a magician, Cynthia has the ability to make images spring to life!!
Throughout my career as a musician many a photographer has snapped away and I am usually left feeling like "Well, there I am - maybe the retouchers can make it look better". I NEVER feel that way when Cynthia shoots me. I ALWAYS feel she captures the real me - and not just because she knows me. It's because she knows her craft and she knows how to get the BEST out of me.
When Cynthia was shooting for publications such as Bon Apetite and Food and Wine I would occasionally drop by the studio to view her work. I was simply amazed that she could make a grilled steak look like a rare and precious gem!!
Well, I could go on and on.....but Cin, I absolutely LOVE the pics you took of me - they'll be on the new cd cover and liner notes!!
I am honored to call one of the finest photographers I know my BEST Friend - but I am truly blessed to have her in my life.
Love You Always Cin,
XOXOXCarr

Caught dreaming
It’s pretty tough to be a photographer when your own son won’t let you take his picture. I’m Sneaky too, but I can’t tell you how many images I have of my son holding his hand in front of the lens. I guess it’s tough having someone shove a camera in your face all the time. However, I don’t want to miss his childhood and I try to explain to him that he’ll be glad for the pictures some day. I love it when I catch him unaware.

Students invited to teachers wedding ceremony
My sons second grade teacher got married recently. She sent her students home with these beautiful invitations to the wedding ceremony. They were all so well behaved even though there was a bit of giggling going on when the minister asked her to wave to her students. It really made them feel special. It was so kind of her to include them, but that’s just the way she is. A great teacher! We wish her all the best. Here’s a few of my favorite pictures.

Been a while!
Summer always seems so busy and I find myself having to decide what is important , and what can slide for a while. So, that being said, I haven’t posted since my friend Leah graduated from High School. We had a blast shooting her getting ready for her senior prom. I’m so proud of her. She is wise way beyond her years and soooo beautiful!
