• Fred & Wade, the real thing

  • Here it is, the full E-session. I had in mind the 50ies, the scenic dinner seemed like the perfect place, and I found it's one of Wade's favorite spots. In fact, I've heard he's a regular on Sunday morning. Fred is a dune expert, and the beach is her territory, so we had to finish off the day by the water. As they soon discovered, I get carried away with my camera, but this was especially fun. Watching Fred and Wade so giddy with love, laughing and just so happy together was a real treat fo [...]
  • Our cards

  • Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Valentines, Happy Easter?  I know, the year 2009 is well on its way, but there are still 10 months.  Even with one left to go, it wouldn't be too late to send our best wishes. Finally, I have our cards together, it's definitely a simpler version of what I had in mind, but at this point, time is of the essence.  A big thanks to my friend, Patsy Brown for her beautiful pictures.  Once in the year, I get to be included in the recording through time of our f [...]
  • Fred & Wade, teaser

  • I couldn't let an other day go by and not post just one picture of my good friend, Frederique with her fiance, Wade. I have known Fred for a very long time (she loves to remind me the exact number of years, which never fails to freak me out, to her delight). She's my only friend from France, living here. We met in 10th grade, we were in the same class, in a very unique school, "la Legion d'Honneur", an all girl boarding school created by non other than Napoleon. The school was to be attended [...]
  • Vegas workshop

  • I'm finished working on my "Vegas" folder, and here are the remaining images. These were all taken around the Venetian hotel. Now that I've seen the true Venice, I'm a bit of a snob, and even though it's a very expensive structure it is no match for the beauty and elegance found in Italy... Beautiful Bhavana, I couldn't stop photographing her. Serena and her husband, Tiffany, Nancy in her gorgeous wedding gown, As the night fell, so did the temperature. I've notice [...]
  • Boneyard in Vegas

  • It's been a week since I've returned home from Vegas and I'm getting my footing back. The WPPI experience was so exhilarating, and the trade show a wealth of new products. Before my routine settles in I'm trying to put in place the different goals I've lined up for my business. I know how these things work, if too much time goes by, we tend to loose the drive to make things happen... I have some pictures to share, these were taken at the "Boneyard", it's a retirement home of sort for big neo [...]
  • Back home from WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Professional International)

  • I always wondered what the big deal was, why so many photographers became sooo excited come the annual convention in Las Vegas. This year I was one of 12000 photographers to attend the event, and now I understand. I used to think that maybe they just all wanted to party, that maybe it had to do with the location... I know Vegas is not the draw, the city, although amazing (it's just one of those "out of this world" experience), certainly isn't one of my favorite spot. It's the convention itsel [...]
  • Sean

  • I'm posting these pictures from Las Vegas. I cannot believe this place! Everywhere you look are the weirdest things. The first thing I saw landing were beautiful mountains, then a pyramid with some odd egyptian creature guarding it? then a gold building, a mini eiffel tour, a roller coaster in front of a hotel, and slot machines everywhere!!! Unbelievable. I didn't realize that each hotel, the airport too, have their own casinos. I've traveled around the world, but never before have seen [...]
  • Star trails

  • I LOVE photography!! Seriously. There are so many different fields in the vast world of photography, so much to explore and to learn. One simply can not ever tire of it. Up until a couple weeks ago, I had no interest in "landscape" photography. The honest reason is I'm not good at it, I see landscape as a backdrop for a successful portrait session. The backdrop itself, I used to find very boring on its own. Thanks to one of my clients (thanks Doug), I've met this amazing landscape photogr [...]
  • Corrie

  • We've been extremely fortunate over the years to have had wonderful babysitters, Corrie is no exception. The kids LOVE her, in fact I fear they may be sometimes a little disappointed when they see me pull up in car line... Like Olivia simply states it: "she's fabulous". She's from an amazing family of 7, my all time childhood dream. Big families fascinate me. You know right away you're meeting some very special people, got to have lots of love, kindness, patience, humor... and many more valu [...]
  • Jessica, Jared and sweet Maddy

  • Hello wonderful Cyber space world! What a great weekend we had here in Pensacola. 2 hot dates with my hubby and friends. I'm not a difficult girl to please on a date, I just LOVE going to the movies, and right now the theaters have plenty of great selections. Friday night was Taken, which takes place in France (right there I'm on board), packed with action, Liam Neeson is a kick-ass dad. Thankfully the horror of the kidnapping isn't so much the focus in the movie, it's mostly all about Liam [...]
  • Flying Coco

  • A little update on Coco. I'm totally enamored with my little dog. She does the funniest things and I thought I would share one of her moments here with you. Whenever she's outside and I call her back home, she runs super fast and turns into superdog mode. She just about takes off to jump a tinny little step, I'm afraid she doesn't time her take off right, she always lends barely on the edge of the step. It's a HUGE leap, it's so funny to watch. Today, I decided to document it, it was trick [...]
  • Jenni, Richard and Walton.

  • I LOVE this family! They are very very dear to me. Henry and Jenni's uncle, Leo have been friends forever, they share many extraordinary fishing tales together. Really, all of Jenni's big family has been close to Henry and all have always been so sweet to me. Besides, I've photographed Walton when he was just a few days old. He was my first baby model, and one of his pictures remains my all time favorite. I have used that image many times through out town as advertisement for my baby photo [...]
