Ian Lozada: Images and Words

It's been a busy October around here. Shot in my eighth different state this year (Connecticut, for those of you scoring at home). Did headshots for a couple of my Lexington friends. Got to go to the PhotoPlus show at the Javits Center in New York as well, and took in seminars by wedding photographer Joe Buissink and commercial portraitist Michael Grecco, as well as all the great talks at the various booths by standouts like Vincent Laforet, Joe McNally, Cliff Mautner and others.

Even more important, however, was getting in some much needed time with my wife Kristina and our three wonderful kids. Caroline has really blossomed since starting preschool-- everyday I'm amazed at how bright she is. Declan and Audrey finally moved out of their bassinets and are now upstairs in our house, finally in cribs. In a related story, Declan slept through the night for the first time last week. The little guys thoroughly enjoyed Halloween... Caroline went as Cinderella, Audrey wore a ladybug costume that Caroline had worn before her, and Declan was a monkey-- and if you know how physical Dec is, then you know it was quite appropriate! One of the best moments was Caroline, with her hair up, and feeling pretty pleased with herself, greeting her grandmother at the door on Halloween, exclaiming, "Grandma! I'm gorgeous!" Can't make this stuff up.
