Baby Cole

I hope this entry finds everyone happy and well rested from the holidays! ha. I laugh, because sometimes, if you are like me, I need a special vacation after the holidays to recoup. Seriously, we had a good one with lots of fun and laughs. I hope you did too!!
Meet little Cole. He is two weeks old and, wow, what a great little one to photograph. He really did well for such a youngster.
As you can see, he slept a lot and really posed well for us! He is so cute...just had to share.

family session with the Stovalls

I had so much fun doing a session with the Stovall family. What's really cool is that Julie and I went to high school together, were college roommates, and had lost touch for many years until this past summer at our 20 year reunion. I know..... I'm dating myself! It is so great being in touch with her again and getting to meet her beautiful family! We had a gorgeous day at Springfield Lake. They were real troopers, as we did quite a lot of hill work!

sam and jon

Last weekend I got to share a very special day with Sam and Jon. These are images from their couples session the day before their wedding. (wedding images posting soon). ANyway, they are truly the cutest couple. So cute and as nice as can be! Thanks guys for letting me share in your special day. Congratulations and best wishes!

bridal session with kristen

Hi everyone. Last week I had a very fun bridal shoot with Kristen. It was a beautifully perfect afternoon and, good or bad, we had a lot of wind to work with. Personally, wind is my favorite weather element and I loved it. Kristen has such a sparkling personality. She's quite the model. What a a blast!

melanie's maternity session

Hi everyone. Ok...I had such a wonderful time shooting these images of my friend Melanie. She was such a great sport, climbing up on window ledges and such, being 7 months pregnant. Not an easy task!! I had to show some of these images. We were shooting at an old castle and had some extremely interesting lighting conditions to work with, which made for some interesting images. Hope you enjoy.

Kenneth and Aliyah

Once again, I'm severely behind. These are two of the cutest, most well-behaved children I have ever encountered! Kenneth and Aliyah are the God-children of a good friend and I was lucky enough to get to share a trip to the park with them all. What a fun day! It was truly a joy!

Scott Robert Lim/Dawn Shields workshop

So much to learn, so little time! Where did the week go? What can I say? These two photographers are some of the best in the biz! It was a great pleasure to get to learn from them and shoot with them. What a blast. As i mentioned before, it was great fun to meet so many talented photographers from all over. I hope we all stay in touch and update on each other's progress. Here are some images from the week....

Clary's Food/Restaurant shoot

I had a great opportunity yesterday to shoot for James Clary, of Clary's Restaurant. What a great atmosphere!
Such an elegant place with a hip vibe. Everyone there was so nice. I actually haven't eaten there yet, since it switched from being "Fish". I'm sure it will be a wonderful experience when I do, at least from the looks of the dishes I saw!! Yum! Bon Appetite.....

Wow. Behind on Blogging!!

I know, I know! I'm sooooo slow to get stuff up on this thing. I've just been having so much fun lately that
i am running behind on the journal. I attended a great workshop last week that I will post soon. I still can't believe this workshop was here in my hometown....what a great opportunity to work with so many great photographers from all over the Nation and beyond (hello to my new friends, Phil and Fiona, from Spain. Ok, they're brits, but brits who live in Spain.) Everyone was so much fun....more on the low-down in a bit. Anyway, the workshop was given by Scott Robert Lim and our own "famous" wedding wonder-woman, Dawn Shields! It was alot to take in. Non-stop learning and shooting! Very fun and great to meet everyone. More soon!

Melanie and Jonah

Jonah is 4!!! And he's your typical boy at that age. Constantly moving, never a dull moment!! I think I took about 500 shots for this session....you have to be fast and keep shooting with these little fellers!! Jonah was a great sport. Thanks Jonah and Melanie for a fun morning!
