When I moved to San Diego over 10 years ago... I was extremely blessed to have crossed paths with an Aunt from Guam whom I hadn't seen since she was a little girl - Fran. We lived a few blocks from one another and she became a significant part of my life and especially of Branden's (my oldest son). Her nurturing soul made her an instant favorite among all kids who visited. She and her husband Mike's family... helped me raise my boy with Chamorro culture and mannerisms.... which I am forever grateful. She was always... and I mean always there when I needed someone to help me with my son... and ten years later... with my daughter. So as you can imagine when I heard the news she was carrying her first baby.... I jumped for joy and knew this kid would be instantly loved by her and all those around her.... and I have appointed myself his personal photographer :) Hello Max... welcome to best family in town!
After about a million rough drafts.... many late nights.... bombarding my friends with emails.... asking for opinions and suggestions... I am sooo happy to show off my new website!!!! http://deniseconradphotography.com/.
I have also found a new love of vintage scrabble pieces... yes... this to shall be introduced into my line-up for 2011.
Now that the holiday season is coming to an end... I sit at my desk to breathe for a second... thumb through the photos... prepare for 2010 in review... and I am grateful. I have met some amazing families... and learned a ton about photographing children. In due time... more will be blogged. Including my wedding experience... how the flash just 'clicked' for me... and my new love of reflectors. For now.... an overdue promise of a photo of the best part of Thanksgiving dinner...Haupia Pie! BA, here's to you sista! Don't you just hate me even more... :) xoxo!
