Sneak peek….Ebele

August 31, 2008 – 5:27 pm

This beautiful senior girl is the oldest daughter of one of my oldest and dearest friends. They moved out of state several years ago, and live near Seattle now, but I was lucky enough to take Ebele’s senior photos when they were in MN visiting family. I cannot believe how she has changed in the 2 years since I have seen her! She is one of the neatest, smartest, most responsible and lovely senior girls I’ve met. She was one of my favorite kids since she was little, and she has grown into such a lovely young woman! I’ll have the rest of your gallery up as soon as possible. :)

Ovarian Cancer Walk–MOCA–and my Mom…

August 31, 2008 – 10:01 am

Mom & Jacob in 1998

Most people who know me know at least a bit about my Mom, Mary Andrews. She was, and still is, my hero. She raised my brother and I by herself, without any help (financial or otherwise) from my father. She was one of my best friends in the whole world, and I talked to her daily, often multiple times. She loved to laugh, loved her family-especially her kids and grandkids, loved her job as bookkeeper at the Minnesota School of Business, loved an ice cold tall vodka tonic, loved traveling with her sister Anne, loved sitting in her garden and loved so much more. She died over four years ago from one of the nastiest cancers around: ovarian cancer.  I still miss her. Every. Single. Day.

My family and I are participating in the MOCA-Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance 9th Annual Silent No More Walk/Run for Ovarian Cancer on Saturday September 13th. Ovarian cancer is one of the most deadly female cancers, hard to diagnose, hard to treat, and hard to live with. It is also underfunded for research into treatments, prevention and a someday cure. My mom survived breast cancer, and then she fought back ovarian cancer for about three years, but my family and I are walking in the hope that more money will help keep amazing women like my mom alive longer, and give them better choices to diagnose, treat and prevent this often silent killer. I’m asking anyone who is interested to donate, either directly to MOCA or by sponsoring us in the walk, by sending a check made out to MOCA to me. (Email me if you need my address) Thanks for your support, and if you still have your mom, tell her you love her today.

sneak peek…Jayne

August 31, 2008 – 9:07 am

Jayne was just lovely to photography…she is a dancer and it is so evident in the way she carries herself. Its rare for me to see such poise and elegance in someone just entering their senior year. I know I was nothing like that! :) She is obviously beautiful, but it is more than skin deep…really enjoyed meeting you! I will have the rest of your gallery completed by the end of the week!

sneak peek…Finn

August 31, 2008 – 8:21 am

I’ve been working since early this morning, desperately trying to catch up with the nine sessions I have to proof. Here is a sneak peek of one-newborn baby Finn. Just one day old here, taken at the hospital. Such a beautiful and beloved little guy.

 

 

 

I’ll have everyone’s galleries up by the end of the week, since the kids go back to school on Tuesday and I can work again! :) Thanks for your patience!
