#23…Kathy Wolfe

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Kathy’s got a new blog (although I did check out her old one, which was fun too!) I love that her new  blog has a rotating banner. Its kind of fun to hit refresh to see more.  I’ve always been a huge black & white fan, but Kathy’s color work is fun, vibrant and infectious. She works out of Pittsburgh, PA, but travels around too, and has done some great editorial and commercial work. Hope you enjoy!

#22…Urchin Rock Underwater Photography

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008


Ok, so I’m kind of breaking my own “rules” about posting just blogs, but I’m a bit of a break the rules kind of woman anyway. ;)

This site: Urchin Rock Photography–doesn’t have a blog that I can find, but I had to share them anyway, as its both fascinating and eerily beautiful to view their underwater photography of children and babies. Its pretty amazing photography, regardless of whether you think its a good idea or not. 
Enjoy

#21…Lisa Russo

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008


I think it is kind of funny… in general, it is much easier to be verbose about the things we do not like. (Hence all the complaint calls restaurant managers get, and so few compliments…LOL)

If I let the mean and unkind side of me come out, I’d be able to write a seriously sarcastic and snarky blog about all the bad photography that is out there. It’s much harder, I’m finding, to write about what it is that I *do* like. We know it when we see it, we can feel it, but to describe it is more elusive. 
I know I like Lisa Russo’s blog. I like her candid and chatty style. I love the warmth of her photos, the interaction between her camera/her/her subjects. Her blog gives me the feeling that if she lived near me, we’d get together and have a glass of wine, and have a lot to chit chat about. Make sure you go past the first few posts. We all know this is a slower time of year, and there is lots of good stuff to dig into. :)
Blog is here and site is here, and Lisa is in Atlanta, GA. 
{and by the way, I love comments, so keep ‘em coming!}

#19…Laurence Kim Blog

Sunday, January 13th, 2008


I think you will enjoy this one…its not your everyday run of the mill photography blog. This blog just feels different.  Its tough to describe…see if you feel it too. I don’t know if its because its obvious how much he loves photography in general, from kids, to foodie shoots, to engagements, etc or what…but Laurence has some great vibrant stuff going on here, and its well worth checking out. Hope you enjoy it too. He is out of Seattle Wa and blog is here, site here.

#18…Cheryl Muhr

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

I’ve “known” Cheryl online for years. She truly seems to be living the charmed life, I tell you. She’s gorgeous, has a hottie husband,  adorable kids, loads of clients whom she takes fabulous photos of, editorial assignments and magazine work galore, and she is running this awesome workshop called “The Secret Workshop” which has received rave reviews. Its enough to make you almost hate her!

Except that she also seems to be one of the nicest, kindest, most down to earth people around. Oh yeah, and she has been endowed with this great talent for photography. So, put your jealousy away, and go check out her blog, find it here, and her site here and The Secret Workshop here. Way to go Cheryl! You deserve it all. :)
Enjoy!

#17…Childhood Lifestyle Art by Ritz Rivera

Friday, January 11th, 2008

Ritz Rivera works out of Miami FL, and she has a lovely, clean fresh style. She also has been featuring quite a few maternities… and I have to say for the women readers of my blog, the photos of her most recent maternity on her blog are well worth studying to improve your photographic skills.  It wouldn’t be because of anything else… nope. Just studying Ritz’s lovely camera work, especially on that last image where Dad is shirtless.
Oops, did I say that outloud? 
Seriously though, Ritz has a great eye and amazing attention to details and light, and her site and blog are beautiful. You can find her blog here and her site here
Enjoy!

Sorry to have missed a day…

Friday, January 11th, 2008

I will have #17 up soon… I had a very busy day yesterday, deliveries, my three kids, etc and a sad day too. Had to go last night to a wake for a past client of mine, an amazing wonderful guy. I meant to post after I got home, but decided to just be with my husband instead. Hug those you love… life is too short.

I love her site too, nice flash site with some great images. Really enjoyed this photographer who I have never seen before…hope you do too! Carolyn works out of Houston, Texas and you can find  her blog here and her site here

#15…Marci Ralph!

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

Marci is one of those photographers who can do it all. She does such beautiful work with everyone from the wee ones on up. But…her work with High School Seniors is beyond compare.

She absolutely rocks with seniors. I don’t know how she hasn’t been snapped up by some fashion magazine yet but the seniors in Indianapolis have got to be thrilled to have her. Truly stunning work. Check out her blog here and her site here. You will be amazed…
