Soothing Sounds....

I had a great session today with husband and wife music-thanatology team, Tony Pederson and Margaret Pasquesi. I didn't know what a music thanatologist was until I spoke with them. What a remarkable talent and calling they both have! They use singing and harps at the bedside of the dying to ease the transition from life to death and also to provide comfort for the families. They told me that they are two of only 70 music thanatologists around today. If you would like to learn more about this amazing profession, click here.

Here are a few of my favorite shots from today.

Periodontics Ltd.

Last week I did some headshots for the awesome docs from Periodontics Ltd. If you are in the Chicago area, I highly recommend these folks. Being the daughter of a general dentist in the area, I sort of get the inside scoop on which specialists are really good. And these guys are really good. I am the world's biggest baby about any kind of dental work. My Dad takes me after hours so I don't scare away his other patients, and it's not because of anything he does but because I pretty much demand novocain for a routine cleaning. That said, when I needed some special work done I actually enjoyed my experiences with Drs. Rosen and Yamada at Periodontics Ltd. Okay, so maybe "enjoyed" is a bit of a strong word to use when talking about dental surgery, but I wasn't freaked out at all and the whole experience was infinitely better than I ever expected it could be.

Dr. Yamada, Dr. Rosen, Dr. Gorin, Dr. Marinello, Dr. Russo, and Dr. Doan - it was great to work with you all. I hope you are as happy with your headshots as I am!
