Updates

Whew….I’ve been crazy busy lately!  I’ve had the best of intentions as far as updating my blog but I feel like I haven’t had a chance until this very second.  What has kept me so busy you ask?  Well, besides the usual sessions on the weekend and editing during the week, I decided to take a trip down to Savannah, GA to see my dad and the fam.  So I was gone from last Monday until Thursday.  Then on Friday my mom flew up from Orlando to hang with us for Memorial Day weekend.  While she was here we saw an awesome performance by a local dance company, Charisma.  You might remember some of the pictures I did of them a while back.  If you are local to Richmond, you’ve got to check out their next show.  I was very impressed with this last show….it was very creative, innovative and inspiring.  (www.charismadance.org)

Recently I had a chance to work with Pauline from Elations Designs (www.elationsdesigns.com) on an event that she planned.  Let me just tell you, if you are even thinking of hiring a coordinator for your wedding or event, she’s the gal for you.  Not only does she have incredible style she just is amazing at what she does.   She makes everything seem so effortless….really.;-)  The wind that day was C-R-A-Z-Y and would definitely be considered an obstacle for some, but Pauline didn’t even miss a beat.  Check out some of the pics below.

She always has the most amazing floral arrangements at her affairs….and she does them all herself!

Check out the theme….black, white and yellow….the hottest colors right now.  Love it!  In this image you can see how windy it was that day…the flowers are just blowing in the wind along with the table cloth.

One thing I love about Pauline is that she always makes sure that the kids are having a blast too.  She will bring activities for them to keep them busy and having fun.  Check out the pinata below…

Pauline chuckled when she saw me taking pics of this little guy.  She said that I just can’t stay away from the little ones…and she’s so right! 

And here we have one of our favorite guests of the day.  This little one came to the party ready to mingle.;-)

And for my photographer friends, you’ve GOT to check out these incredible textures with wording that CG Designs (www.designsbycg.blogspot.com).  They are the absolute coolest and most original thing I’ve seen in quite some time.  These babies are gonna be huge….I just know it! 

And last but not least, I am completely booked for the month of June.  I will be squeezing in maternity and newborn sessions though since those are so time sensitve.   So if you are thinking of booking a session, now’s the time!;-)

 

 

A little Matilda

A while back I went to a trunk show at Tisha’s studio for the “oh so adorable” Matilda Jane clothing line.  This stuff is seriously so stinkin’ cute.  The clothing is very well thought out as most of it is interchangeable…it all mixes and matches to create a seriously stylin’ outfit.   I was amazed at how many different outfits I was able to come up with using just a few select pieces…so cool.  Well a friend/client of mine wanted me to shop for her as she was not able to make it to the show.  That was a win/win deal for me…I got to pick out whatever I wanted and I didn’t have to spend a penny!  Seeing that I don’t have a daughter, I absolutely LOVED picking out clothes for a little girl.  And to be honest, after seeing all these clothes, I’m almost glad that I don’t have a daughter because I’d be so broke.  But at least she’d be VERY well dressed.;-)   Small sacrifice to make, right???

Well,  the clothing arrived and I adored it every bit as I imagined I would.  Of course I had to do a little mini shoot with the sweet little girl that all of this clothing was for.  You can check her out below.

Rockin’ new blog!

Yes, I moved…..again!  But let me just tell you, it was so worth it.  I’m so impressed with the work that Theresa from Blogs for Photogs ( www.blogsforphotogs.com ) did for me.  If you are in the market for an awesome new blog, you’ve got to check her out.  She’s super nice and super talented…she saved me many headaches, that’s for sure!  I couldn’t be happier!

Last night a few photog friends met up for dinner and then we all attended the “Captivated by the Light” seminar by Ed Pierce.  We even met up with some other people we knew while there.  We had such a great time…it was so cool hanging out with other photographers friends and also meeting new ones.  I really enjoyed the seminar too…can’t wait to check out all my goodies that I brought home with me.  I hear the dvd’s are AWESOME!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Please change me in your favorites, bloglines, and please subscribe to the blog if you wish to be updated when there are new posts!!!

Back at it again!

This past Sunday Allison and I got together to do a shoot for a new business venture she has going on.  After we took care of what we needed to for that, we had some fun of our own.  I absolutely LOVE doing shoots with her because she is such an amazing artist.  She always knows exactly what to do to create a beautiful image…and that she does….every time.  Even though you can’t tell much about it from these pictures, I’ve been eyeballing this location for a while now and was so anxious to take here there.  She, of course, was game and once we got there knew exactly how to work with her surroundings.

Just a few for now…I haven’t even gone through all of them yet.  I just picked a few out of the bunch I knew I’d fall in love with.  And I did.;-) 

Thanks Alli!!!
