Happy 2009 Year!

I am back and ready to kick 2009 to another level!

Happy New Year to all!

It was a long rocky road in 2008 and I believe I came out with a more positive, hopeful and grateful to have learned all that I did attitude and again ready to get focused on the things I want to accomplish. There are several, several goals to achieve and I am not stopping until I persevere. ;)

Since I've skipped several entries - I just wanted to get back into the swing of things and start off by showing some photos I did last year of the last three Weddings I did of the year.

First was my Beautiful Step-sisters Wedding.

Amy and David had a beautiful and unique Wedding, due to the fact it was the first I ever did in someone's backyard. What I loved about it, was that she had it outdoors (always love natural lighting - best lighting there is). Second after the ceremony, instead of the typical seed throwing, bubble blowing crowd marital acknowledgment, she had everyone let balloons fly up into the atmosphere, each one holding their name and date. And lastly, For me one of the most refreshing was the fact she let all of the young ones and, well, everyone change into swim suits for an additional pool party , all in all an awesome Wedding!

Here are some of the shots:

I have a confession, I love cars! Yes, I absolutely love cars! Especially older 50's and 60's cars and Trucks. Fast cars, and to my surprise, RAT RODS!  Whaaaaat? Although my two dream cars are the 1965 to 67' Mustang or the 55 to 57 Bel-air. In the last 5 years, I've been with someone who happens to also share my love for cars and trucks, although he is a wee bit more obsessed than I am and so, he bought Murdock, a 1960 Chevrolet Double pig nosed Truck he dubbed Murdock and I have so lovingly dubbed Murdy. And yes, this name has everything to do with the A-team reference. With this Truck and through amazing friends we joined the Junkyard Pirates.  We are now privileged club members who get to " Drag out our Junk " and meet amazing like minded car and truck lovers.  Many turn their vehicles into amazing works of Rat Rod Art, such as Jac Lindell, who made Frankenbug .  He is also a Pirate. Every year the JunkYard Pirates put on an amazing, must see ca

Balloons and Dry Lake Bed

Not going to lie, it's been a minute and with this pandemic, it's been a long minute.  4 months.  4 months of not being able to pick up the camera to have a living subject, however that changed last weekend when a friend (non-client) agreed to come out to do a photo shoot at the Dry Lake Bed near Boulder City.  I was more than excited, as not being able to create or photograph has been torture. Being laid off from my full-time job was a huge blow, as I know many Americans out there are facing the same situation; however reflecting, it has made me want to do photography full-time, so this particular photo shoot was especially therapeutic and just reminded me how much I miss creating. Vegas Balloon Twister was/is the ultimate first subject back, as we collaborated a concept of her balloon making expertise with a few smoke bombs on the Dry Lake Bed.  With this session, she made a balloon dress, custom made (and can custom make one for you) that she wanted to show off her amazing

Hello again to any out there. The past few months have been busy, busy, and more busy with Weddings, parties and well you name it and I couldn't quite get to blog. So, this past weekend I rounded up the last of my Weddings with the exception of one Reception which will be in December and also the great "Breakfast with Santa" hosted by the Moms Club of Buckingham. A fun great Charity I've had the honor of doing 3 years in a row now. Truly fun to see all the kids smiling up or um, crying up at Santa... ;) I've also just recently completed a CD to give to the Charity I volunteered to photograph on September 22, 2007, called Operation First Response. St. Andrews, the church I got married at threw a great fund raiser and silent auction for this great cause which helps our wounded heroes who come home and are financially in need. http://www.operationfirstresponse.org/ There were all kinds of fun activities with face painting to dunk tank to military vehicles.
