The weather is PERFECT in Maryland right now - no humidity, beautiful warm sunshine in the day and cool at night. Love being outdoors this time of year with my kids and with YOUR kids taking photographs!
These snaps are from a photo session last week that I’m just going through now. Mom wants to use a few of the images at her daughter’s birthday party Saturday. Can you blame her?! Love the sweet smiles and the adorable tutu. Big brother warmed up to the idea of being photographed as well … just needed to let him jump around on the nearby rocks a bit and then he was ready to show me his stuff!

Ok … I know what you’re thinking … two posts in one day?! Can you even stand it? I had to post this as it’s been on my desktop for a few weeks and I just can’t stop looking at it. Wait until you see this little girl’s sister! Just as cute, BUT with the most sparkling BLUE eyes! Truth be told - the girls are daughters of a close friend of mine from home. I love our visits when I’m back on Ohio, but always wish we had more time. Anyone else feel that way about their friends?
Okay, okay, okay! I couldn’t wait! Here’s Miss. Brown Eyes’ sister - Miss. Blue Eyes!

I think it was last year around this time that I vowed to make blogging a part of my weekly routine. As you can see, I haven’t done very well at holding true to my vow. I’m turning over the new leaf again and hope that you continue to stick with me through the fast times and the slow times.
We’ve had a lot of rain here in the last week, so I took advantage of the photo opp to practice a bit of macro photography. More specifically, I wanted to try and capture those pretty little water droplets as they hit and hung off of flowers and glass. Here are a few of my favorites:
Until next time …
A few years ago, I had a large photography display up at The City Dock Coffee in downtown Annapolis, Maryland. Some one purchased a few of my framed flower photographs and called requesting photos of Black-eyed Susans. Would you believe I’ve lived in Maryland for 10 years and still don’t have a set of really good Black-eyed Susan pictures? They are EVERYWHERE in this state and spread like weeds. What’s my excuse? I even use to have large patches of them in my flower garden until one day they decided not to come back (let’s not discuss the details).
Anyway - it’s on my list of things to snap this year so please hold me to it. If you don’t see Black-eyed Susans featured on the Sophtography Blog, on the web site OR on the Sophatography Facebook page, please send me a gentle reminder! 
For now, I leave you with this photograph … one of many to come I hope.

These images are from a last minute - very spontaneous - photo session I did on a trip to Ohio a while back. I grew up in NW Ohio and lived in Cleveland. Loved my time in Cleveland and the wonderful friends I made while there. It was a time in my life when I was learning more and more about black and white photography and printing my own images. I was also getting out and enjoying the live music scene in Cleveland and the musicians were the perfect subjects. In fact … the FIRST image I ever printed in the darkroom was of a Cleveland Swing Band called The Swagger Kings. All of the musicians were great subjects and became friends who I really enjoyed supporting.
The savvy subject in this photo storyboard is non-other than Harry Bacharach, a piano playing singer-songwriter that has been performing in the Greater Cleveland area for several years. Harry plays a mix of standards and originals at local cocktail lounges and concert venues as well as private engagements and weddings. Combining various styles including Jazz, Blues, Funk and Folk, Bacharach has come up with genre of his very own: “Heavy Easy Listening.” Definitely someone to check out if you are in the Cleveland area. More info and show dates are on his website: http://www.harrybacharach.com/
