merry merry

December 21, 2009

for those of you who follow my blog, you’ll remember that i flooded my blog with my sweet newborn for a few weeks. well…i have been getting asked a lot lately why he hasn’t been on my blog and how is he doing.

no worries. all is perfect in the land of beckham and i am even more smitten than the day he arrived with his chubbilcious cheeks.

he (and i) wish you a VERY merry christmas. see you in 2010!

winding down

December 10, 2009

christmas is a comin quick and i’m supposed to be winding down, but it seems things keep spiraling upwords instead. that may be partly due to the fact that our entire basement FLOODED this week…grrrr, ergh, sigh, and a big old UGH.

at least i have little faces like this to look at. it makes me smile…



photowalk

December 5, 2009

as i started venturing into the world of photography, i had so many ideas of how i wanted to use my photography in ways other than my hobby/job. as life goes on, life gets more busy, and my ideas are there…but they stay tucked away because i am just “too busy.”

well, enter travis, my husband. after talking and dreaming about it for so long, we decided to start our new photography company, boka studios. and with it, came all of HIS ideas of how we could use photography other than just our hobby/job.

the difference between us is that he doesn’t keep his ideas tucked away…he never does. he takes his ideas and puts them into effect…as effortlessly and smoothly as anyone i have ever seen.

so, in the two months we have been working together, we have put into effect a set of mini sessions featuring friends and a contest, a photowalk with 30 other local photographers in detroit, and are hosting a charity event next saturday. and when i say “we,” i mean HE puts everything together and i show up for all the fun. LOVE him.

our first photowalk took place last saturday at eastern market in detroit and we had such a great time meeting other local photographers and “photowalking.” i loved it that there was such a variety of photographers…hobbyist through professional. i loved it that we were at eastern market so that we could experience so many textures, colors, people, and architecture. AND, i loved it that michigan held out for one more day of fantastic weather.

i was herding the kiddie models, so i didn’t get to see or shoot as much of eastern market as i wanted, but here are a few shots of the models i captured. you can see more over on our boka blog.
