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!

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!
