8 days old

There was a new face at Thanksgiving this year and I was fortunate enough to have a few moments with this beautiful baby boy!

Congratulations Nancy and Rob

I just received the wonderful news that Nancy gave  birth, yesterday morning, to a beautiful baby boy.  I am so happy for you both and am looking forward to meeting him.

I seriously cannot believe that I took these photos less than a month ago!

Random facts

I am still so new to the blogging world and sometimes forget to keep updating in between photo session blog posts. In real life I am ultra chatty but that hasn't quite translated to my blog.... yet. So here is my attempt to share some facts about me, especially since it is all so "fascinating".

- I love watching 30 Rock, The Soup, Lost and reruns of 90210 (the original series). Oh and I can't forget Arrested Development.

- My favorite foods are french fries, pizza and ice cream (which makes me, what, 8 years old?). I also love sushi, my mom's spanish rice, and anything my mother and father in law make.

- I love love LOVE to dance. If fun music is playing I will most likely be dancing to it or making up dance moves in my mind.

- I am obsessed with learning new buttercream frosting recipes. Any and all that don't require powdered sugar.

- Ever since I was little I wanted to start a company called Thatgirl. And yes, That is my last name. Well, now it is hyphenated but my husband understood that I didn't want it to be thatcacopardogirl photography.

- Speaking of a husband... I have the greatest most supportive husband EVER. Joel and I have been married since June 2007 but have been together for 7 years. We have realized that we are no longer funny but still manage to make one another laugh like crazy.

and so this post is not without a photo here is something else about me:

-I like playing dress up and have a lot of fun making faerie dust in Photoshop

For A Whole Year

For the past year I have been working on a photography project. The rule was simple: take one photo a day for an entire year. Sounded easy enough but at times that rule was the hardest thing about my day. There were days when I would have over 50 images to choose from as my one photo for the day. Then there were times when it would be 11:58pm and I would grab Joel for a last minute 'self portrait +1' shot.  Although I photographed anything from pretty flowers to my dinner or an unwanted sofa chair left on the sidewalk; my favorite photographs are those of the people in my life.  I also turned the camera on myself numerous times.  It was an incredible experience and although on certain days it felt like a complete chore, I am really happy that I took the time to photograph each day.  

Here is my Day 365 shot!

 

And since it was a leap year I kept going to Day 366
