In Memory of Paul P Donohue

Time to get posting again...

As many of you know, my father, Paul Donohue passed away suddenly on April 8, 2009. He was 83 years old. He had been ill since December (I was with them for a month at Christmas time). Dad was recovering, in good spirits and optimistic. Unfortunately, he died of a heart attack only days after returning home from rehab.

I am so grateful to the wonderful neighbors of the Great Outdoors for the out pouring of sympathy and help extended to my mom and our family. Also, I am truly thankful to family and friends who supported us during this difficult time.

We held a beautiful memorial in his honor. He is buried at The Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, FL.

Here are links to obituaries: Florida Today and New Jersey, Courier Post.

Dad had little interest in getting his photo taken...but I managed to get these two.

No, in this photo he doesn't have a "real" pierced ear. Dad decided to join in the fun when, during a National volleyball tournament, a group of Dad's got together and "sported" fake pierced earrings!

This was taken December '07. He loved his grandaughter...he was hoping to make it to see her graduate from high school next year.

Dad you will be missed...

BEST Blueberry Pie

Just had to post photos of the BEST Blueberry Pie made by my husband. While working out, he has a tendency to watch cooking shows! Probably in between exercising on the stairmaster and rowing machine, he saw this recipe on America's Test Kitchen.

He follows directions well: this truly was the best Blueberry Pie we have ever had! Didn't even need "a la mode".

It takes a while to create, but if you have the time and patience, it's well worth it.

Commercial Work

In addition to photographing weddings and portraits, I also do commercial work for "American Quilter Magazine". Typically, I photograph some of the step-by-step projects and quilts that are seen in the magazine. I'd love to feature some of the images from the shoots on my blog...but it's all top secret until the magazine is published!

What I can say: there is an enormous amount of talent, time, creativity and love in every piece. The quilts are exquisite. Please follow the link above for some examples of past articles and projects!

The magazine is located in Paducah, Kentucky. However, the editor of the magazine lives and works from home in Colorado. Recently she was featured in an article by Sherida Warner of the Grand Junction Sentinel. Follow the link for the full article.


Here are some images from the Editor "at home" session I photographed. Any quilts you see in the photos were designed, and constructed by this very talented lady!

This photo accompanied the newspaper article!

Maternity and Kids

Last week, Innovative Imagemakers organized another fantastic road trip. This session included a bevy of pregnant ladies and a handful of toddlers and kids. Here are a few favorites from the day.

Interesting "mistake"...but I think it is pretty cool.

i2 Senior Road trip

Innovative Imagemakers , or i2 to photographers that have joined the metro denver area photo group, organized an awesome Senior Roadtrip a few weeks ago. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Baby not Belly

A few weeks ago I had a maternity session planned with the step-daughter of dear friend. I was really looking forward to the session since the mom-to-be is gorgeous and was open to the photo experience. However, babies have a way of not waiting...turns out the little girl just couldn't wait another month to meet her mom and dad!

So...instead of the belly, I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph the baby!

Senior Photo Sessions "a la mode"
