Greetings! Ciao! Hola! Thanks for checking out my blog. It’s a sneak peek into my crazy, fun world: kinda, journaling with a camera! Oh, but who am I? I’m a photographer and artist who’s totally, I mean, TOTALLY in love with what she does! It’s so hard to call it a ‘job’-----it’s much too fun to be a job! I’m able to meet and hang out with super cool people (oh, yeah!), do wild, exciting things (woot!) and create out-of-this-world, one-of-a-kind art (rock on)! All of this from behind my lens: how super cool is that? (Thank you, God, for I am blessed!) I’m based in Titusville, Florida but, hey, I’ve traveled to faraway places for my fabulous clients (and I’ll do it again)! Please, take your time and have a look around, if you like what you see, give me a call or shoot me an email, tag me on twitter or look me up on facebook. I adore meeting new people and working on new projects (outrageously outlandish to creatively calm) and I’d love to work with you!

This Takes the Cake!

This fabulous display of wedding cakes at Something Sweet really rocked! It was a bustling cottage of young couples and their parents-----giggling, tasting, playing, tasting, laughing, tasting! It's true----cake puts everyone in a good mood! It was so great to see old and new friends there! Thanks to those who attended and received "Something Sweet"!
Before the event, I went and took images of Johnnie's beautifully displayed cakes! Johnnie says this Tropical Paradise Cake has been everyone's favorite so far. And who can blame them? Just look at the detail in those gorgeous flowers! Elegant and tasteful! Johnnie can make ANYTHING! Check out her website: http://somethingsweetcakestudio.com/ ! You won't believe your eyes!
These cakes are sooooooo much fun! And, yes, EVERY part of EVERY cake is edible! Here is a close up of the "Honeymoon Couple" that sits atop of the Vintage Honeymoon Luggage 3 tier cake!
OMG! Look at this killer Groom's Cake! Perfect!

Check it out----that hand painted spring cake IS in a bird cage and there are 2 love birds on top!


Look, it's cream puff trees, just pick one off and pop it in your mouth!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, I can smell it all over again!

Beta Sigma Phi-----Phun!

Yes, Phun! Fun, fun! Last night I was invited to speak at the Beta Sigma Phi meeting in New Smyrna Beach and it was a blast! Wow! What a wonderful group of women! And, that chapter is pretty big. I'd say about 25 attended. The hostess was Mariann Bradley (an Earth-Bound Angel) who wanted me to share what I do with them. Boy, was I nervous-----I had never spoke to a large group of people. But let me tell you, if you want a fabulous group to speak to, there is no other! They were kind and understanding, I felt right at home. I just couldn't have asked for it to be any better! I had so much fun, I want to do it again!

Who is Beta Sigma Phi? Beta Sigma Phi is an international women's friendship network. It also provides educational programs to its members and opportunities for service to others. We are women of all ages, interests, and educational and economic backgrounds, and are the largest organization of our kind in the world. Check out their website! http://www.betasigmaphi.org/index.shtm

Women, making a difference in the world!

Great Images Just Don't Happen

Yes, it's true: Great images just don't happen, they are created! Attention to lighting, subject posing and expression, light skimming across and into the eyes, details around the subject, technical camera attention-----there is a lot more to it than pushing a button!
Here's a picture of my (sweet daughter) assistant, Sierra, "popping" light back into Courtney's face and gorgeous eyes! The reflector is important because the sun is behind Courtney and I do not want to use a flash (I LOVE natural light)! Below is a picture of what I saw through the lens. Sierra is a great help on Senior shoots!
When you have a beautiful subject, it really helps with the retouching later! And, yes, all of the images I create are retouched, even when you are a natural born beauty like Courtney! Isn't she super? She is as sweet and fun as she is gorgeous!

You have so much potential, Courntey, you will go far in life-----start RIGHT NOW! Thanks for inviting me into your life! And thanks for letting me show off how gorgeous you look!
