End of 2008 Wrap-Up!

Well, we’ve come to the end of another amazing year! I photographed so many wonderful little ones and their families in 2008. I truly have THE most amazing job.

I will be out of the office for two weeks starting tomorrow. I will be back on Monday, January 5th. Any calls and e-mails will be returned promptly at that time.

I do have a few openings in January - an afternoon appointment on the 10th, the 17th and a morning of the 24th. So if you wanted a holiday session and I wasn’t able to fit you in, just let me know if you’d like a session in January.

As always - if you’re having a baby, let me know as soon as possible! I always make time to fit newborns into my schedule.

After I return, I plan to work on my annual year-in-review slideshow. The 2007 version was viewed so many times - I can’t wait to do one featuring all of my amazing 2008 clients!

Personally, it was a great year for the Russo family. We saw the addition of Lulu and Annie (and all the dirt that comes with them, but I’m pretending it doesn’t really exist). Our little miracle Ava turned 3 (going on 16) and decided it was ‘all dresses all the time’ and Aidan turned 9 and promptly inserted his head into a very thick cloud that I hear will remain until he’s around 20. Goody!

Speaking of my two little monsters:

It was also a great year for my chair, since there’s less of me sitting in it.

2007:

And now, minus about 30 pounds (Ava’s three…the ‘baby weight’ excuse was past the expiration date ):

OH, and since he’s not seen that often, I told Vic he had to sit so I could meter for the shots he was going to take of me (gotcha!). Here’s the Mr. himself:

Technology-wise, the above shots were taken with my awesome new 5Dii. And since the 5Dii files are so ginormous (seriously, it’s a 21mp camera), I had to squeeze in a 2008 tax writeoff add a new Dell desktop to my arsenal. It has 6 gb of ram, nVIDIA graphics, 640 gig hard drive, and it’s an XPS gamer model so it glows a funky neon blue color and revs (literally) when it starts up. And don’t you think for one SECOND that my inner geek didn’t squeal with delight. Vic says I need to add another 24" monitor so I can run dual screens, but SHEESH, I’m not THAT much of a geek. Or am I? Hmmm…..

Thank you to ALL of my amazing clients this year. I look forward to seeing many of you again in 2009 so I can tell your little ones to STOP GROWING UP so quickly. The stinkers never listen to me, but I do try. I also can’t wait to meet all of the bitty new ones joining the world next year. It’s an exciting time, and I’m thrilled to help you capture it.

Happy Holidays!!

In case you missed it…

My new (bigger and better!) website launched yesterday. Check it out: Lisa Russo Photography!

ch ch ch ch CHANGES: My new website launched!

Guess what? I have a brand shiny new website!

For quite some time, I’ve wanted a new site that would showcase my wonderful clients in big, bold fashion - but I’m a stickler for clean/classic designs. Well, the wonderful folks who designed my original site came up with a new version with larger images, and VOILA!

I’ve been working on it here and there for a few weeks - go take a look: Lisa Russo Photography. If anything doesn’t look right or doesn’t work, please let me know!

In other news, with the new website launch, I decided to freshen up my branding and logo. Since my focus is primarily little ones and families, I wanted a cleaner, more modern design. You can see it up above when you first load the blog.

As always, thanks for visiting!!

Sophia at 17 Months & Baby in a few Weeks: A Sneak Peek

I have to jump right in with this shot. I know it’s the mom in me, but I just love it so much…I think because my little girl doesn’t climb onto chairs anymore, she stacks them so she can launch herself off of them onto the couch. But I digress! Definitely a favorite!

How cute are those little boots??? They’re *almost* as cute as the girlie wearing them…

Sophia’s beautiful mama is expecting another darling baby next month…

I have so many favorites from our session. This is definitely another one…

Speaking of babies <ahem>, Dad has a couple of his own…

Is that not beautiful? If you look closely, you can see dad’s reflection…see him?

I grew up in a car-loving family, so photographing this car was definitely a treat for me. Just look at this dashboard!

There’s a matching pink one in the garage - but I have plans for that one that involve a newborn baby girl and her big sister. Hmmm…. ;)

Cristina, Joe and Sophia, thank you for a lovely session. I can’t wait to meet your new little one next month!
