i'm a friend, wife, mommy, gal living -- surprisingly happily -- in upstate new york (after moving from the NYC metro area last summer). in addition to wrangling my two girls, i am also a music and piano teacher, as well as a (very new) "professional" children's photographer -- so new, in fact, i need to put it in quotes. :)

you can see my work here:

www.lullabyphotos.com

i've been taking photos of children, babies, and families for 3 years now, and i just love it. of course, my eldest daughter has already been subjected to so many photographs, she now turns the other way when i approach her with the camera, but such is life... ;)

in addition to photos and my children, i love...

starbucks

my mommy book club (i promise, it's not dorky)

cooking and baking

spending time with my hubby

singing

playing the piano

chocolate

traveling

"so you think you can dance"

taking my girls on walks

all things grammatical

and "people" magazine

i'd like to think this goes without saying, but...

the photos i post are MINE and mine alone.

they are copyrighted.

you may NOT have them, not for orkut or your website or any other purpose.

don't take them, copy them, or use them in any way. it is NOT okay.

i am generally a very nice person, but i become vicious if my babies are being treated wrongly.

otherwise...

enjoy. :)
