I Love Taking Pictures

Okay let me rephrase that... I like taking pictures. I love capturing a moment, an emotion, the real person, telling the story of a moment in time for everyone to see. I love the look on my client's face when we've finished a shoot that has been more fun than work, the glow they get from having such a good time and the anticipation that dances in their eyes as they wonder if I captured what they want to be. And the look of utter delight when they realize that I did indeed capture their spirit and they look more amazing then they ever imagined. Yes, I like taking pictures. But I love being part of the beauty and love that is life and capturing it for all the world to see.

Lu-Lu Turns 3 (Or They Grow Up So Fast!)

Oh my! Oh my! How fast they grow. Our little Lu-Lu is now 3! I remember bringing her home from the hospital, this little tiny bundle of perfectness, helpless and totally dependent on us for her every need. This is her at just a few days old.

Look at her now!

We had a Princess and Pirate pool party at her grandparents' house and her two best friends came. This darling girl is Sadie.
And this handsome little devil is Wyatt.
We were joined by family and friends.














This is Lu-Lu's newest cousin. Isn't she adorable?!?! I just want to squeeze those cheeks!
She spent the afternoon just chillin'.

Our little princess wanted to have a princess party and be Cinderella and have a Cinderella cake. Can you see the resemblance?



I do believe we had the prettiest princess at our party!

And some awesome pirates!
Here is our beautiful motley crew!
Oh yes they grow up so fast. Capture the all the special moments and the daily events filled with the love and laughter that make up their life.
Thanks to everyone for coming to our party and helping our princess turn 3.

A Big Success (Thank You!)

I must, must, must thank all of my friends and family who came to my launch party. So many of you showed up to support me and I am still floating on cloud nine from all of the nice things you said about my work and my websites. My buddy Gary at FastSign of St Petersburg loaned me this great space to throw my party and it worked out better than I ever imagined.
Take a look around!




I had planned on taking pictures of everyone but I was way too busy talking to all of you. Thank goodness my friend Colleen came and took the following pictures.
This is me and Col.


This is one of my dearest friends Nadia. We just had to pose in front of the picture of her baby. Isn't he cute?!?!?!!?!





Thanks again for coming. I had a blast!
PS - I still have one more project I'm working on.

Ride Along

I recently got to spend an afternoon at a local riding stable with the darling Ms. M. Don't be fooled by her small stature... there is a powerhouse with a huge heart packed into this tiny package.


I love this million dollar smile!

At this stable Ms. M. gets to help take care of the horse she rides - from getting the horse saddled up to cooling it down after the ride.



We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful afternoon. It totally matched her bubbly personality and infectious smile.















I had a blast on this shoot. Thanks for letting me tag along.
