Until the ATT folks plug me back in to the internet, I'm gonna be offline for a bit.

This hurts me more than it hurts you.

Happy Birthday!

Thanksgiving Baby

Penn = light test, originally uploaded by carissabyers.

Four years ago on this holiday, at 5:15 in the morning after 13 hours of labor, I pushed this kid out.

Unfortunately, Thanksgiving is a "moving holiday" so today isn't his actual birthdate. (which is 11-27-03) But, it's on turkey day I think of my son.

I love you, Pookie Bear.

Happy Sounding Sad Songs

It's here! Many urges to get your copy of Johnny Citizen's (aka Daniel Miller) new album, "Happy Sounding Sad Songs." The credits read like a partial Best Of Dallas list.

Start with American Dream Town.

Get it. Now.

"Wanna go shoot something for fun?"

"Yes."

Thanks for making my day, Hal.

"Sure"

by Daniel Miller.

This may be one of the best things he's done all year.

Love me some babies. This tiny one was especially cute.

Public Service Announcement

I am swamped. There are only 8 days (and counting down) in November that I'm not shooting. My email box is full of unanswered emails, my phone is filled with voicemails, my equipment is scattered from here to yonder way, and my edit que is growing faster than I can clickclickclick it down. Let's not forget I also have a toddler. And two dogs. And cook every meal.

I could use a secretary.

All that to say, I am getting to all of you as quickly as humanly possible and I have the best job in the whole world.

Cheers!

I loaned Kate my pirate to along with her princess and ghost for one of her shoots. We had a blast in the Little Forest Hills graveyard with tombstones marking the death of some of the amazing little houses that have been torn down.

Advocate Magazine November 2007

So much fun for Fred to come trick or treating with us, retrieve The Advocate from the doorstep and turn to find my photos, including his mug, staring back at us. (As am I, thanks to the Chanel sunglasses.) See more here.


My other photo of the boy scouts also in this issue.

Because The Advocate has 4 different issues, depending on where you are, you might see some other stuff too. When I get time I need to go by the office and pick up the back issues that I don't get.
