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!

Dakota Turns 13

It happens before you know it------they're a teenager! No longer will Dakota be considered 'a little kid' anymore. Blink your eyes and he'll driving, turn around and he'll be graduating..... I am so blessed to watch and capture each precious phase of our lives. This is Dakota, right now, he is 13.....and the next time his pictures are taken he will have matured even more and you will more than likely ask (in a suprised voice), "Is that Dakota?!". Life comes atcha fast!

Something Sweet Cake Studio Cuppie Winner

Something Sweet Cake Studio, in Historic Titusville, held a Cuppie Kid Contest during the month of October. They were seeking a model to promote their new and exciting product: The Cuppie Collection! A fabuous Collection of Custom Decorated Cupcakes and a Charm Cake, too!! This Collection was designed to be affordable fun!

I had the pleasure of photographing all the awesome kids that came in for this special treat and, it was a blast!! The winner was selected by a judge that was chosen for their professional design, art and business skills and located in another county. This way, the winner was selected by someone who knew advertising and marketing but did not know the kids! The judge was sent 3 images of each child. I am glad the choice was not up to me because ALL of the kids were exceptional!! But, there can only be one winner and the winner was Austin!! Congratulations to Austin who recieved a beautiful 11x14 of the winning portrait and a Cuppie Collection!!

You can view all of the contestants (and all 3 images sent to the judge) on my facebook fan page. Just search for photoartworks! And while you are there, become a fan to see more of my work as I update the page!!

Idanis' Quinceanero

What a WONDERFUL AFFAIR!!! Elegant touches in a beautiful venue: a towering, whimsical cake and splashes of jewel tones in the linens that adorned the tables where tall, lighted flower displays created an elegant atmosphere. There was a DJ who created larger-than life music videos that brought the crowd to the dance floor----to watch and to dance! Combine these appealing effects with loving family and friends and you have Idanis's Quiceanero and FUN, FUN, FUN!! We are so happy to have been selected to capture this wonderful time of celebration for Idanis! She is incredibly beautiful and kind, and this night, she not only looked like a princess----she was!! Idanis, and the entire affair, was breathtaking! Thank you, Idanis and family! Enjoy your preview!

Titusville Firefighter's Retire

It's come around, retirement time. Another journey begins.... When I was younger, I had a professional photographer take portraits of me at the fire station. I always treasured those images. Now, I am the professional taking the portraits and I am so glad that I can give them a treasure, too. Every step of life's twists and turns are wonderful----life is amazing! So, here's to Dave and Don: two of Titusville's finest! Thank you for all the years you gave and saved this community! The best is yet to come!!

Cake Wrecks

I had soooooo much fun photographing the "World Tour" book signing of "Cake Wrecks" at Borders in Winter Park last night!! It was the opening of their tour and Jen & John Yates were FABULOUS!! Have you seen her blog, Cake Wrecks? It's a hoot! But, I have to say, the book is even better! Yes, I mean it! Go look at a copy and you'll just HAVE to buy it!

Have you ever been to a book signing? It's a blast! Especially at Borders where they are VERY accomodating! Kudos to Borders!

And, who was selected to make the cake for 'Cake-Wrecks-World-Tour-Opening-In-Orlando'? Our very own Something Sweet Cake Studio!! Johnnie made a HUGE pop-up book cake with their top 'crazy cakes' Springing to life!! It was fabulous! She not only makes THE best tasting and most AWESOME decorated cakes in Florida, she has a terrific sense of humor! EVERYONE LOVED IT!!! Jen & John were thrilled!! So was the crowd----and there was a large group there! Opening night was exceptional!!



Books sold like hotcakes at Borders.
