Elena & Gary

Beautiful wedding on a somewhat cold October day! Had a GREAT time at this wedding on Saturday! Have fun on your honeymoon Elena and Gary! See you soon!

Our trip to Cancun, MEXICO

Just came back from Mexico a few days ago! The weather was fantastic and we had a GREAT time! Here is the view from our room during the day!

Here is an image of Dylan (my son) and my husband Sean .... BEAUTIFUL day!

Here is the view I saw when I woke up in the morning.... looking out the window alone put a HUGE smile on my face!
The arrival in Cancun was not as pleasant as my view. Delta airlines REALLY needs to rethink their bagage people/ machinery and the REALLY REALLY need to rethink their customer service. After 5 days and 1,000 phone calls from me they finally did give me a new piece of luggage...... I dealt with the issue by placing a LOT of phone calls and drinking many margaritas, mimosas and of course Mexican Water... CORONA! lol

Swimming with the dolphins was AMAZING. I hardly ever see my husband laugh this hard..... here he was being pushed by two dolphins..... they swim up behind you and push you by your feet...amazing!
Christinas was in LOVE..... wanted to bring "silver" home with her..... and put it WHERE I said?
It really is a LOT of fun..... here they are pulling me.
Kisses are always nice too :-) We all had a GREAT time.
Here is Dylan and Christina before dinner one night. The weather was warm and the view was fantastic no matter where you were at the resort. GORGEOUS.
OK. This falls under the category of I LOVE MY SON. I am deathly scared of this kind of stuff but guess what... I went with Dylan and I did not break his hand.....although I did sqeeze it VERY hard! He told me it was "ok" and he was right. My little baby boy is becoming such a BEAUTIFUL kind hearted little man.... he is so wonderful :-)
Anyone who knows me know s I LOVE Forrest Gump. The moview is awesome! Here we are at the Bubba Gump Shrimp company. I bought a Tshirt :-)
Gotta love days ike this!
Took a day trip .... drove around in this awesome little thing and went snorkling. This was probably my favorite day of all. Just the four of us, the ocean and a gorgeous day. We all got VERY tanned too!

Snorkling was AMAZING. There are so many different and wonderful creatures in the world. Seeing this in real life is such an opportunity and a gift. Life does not get any better than this. I cherished every minute with my family and every beer that came my way throughout the day :-)
On the boat...
Underwater with a cheap little water camera :-)
At the water park....
Christina with her non alcoholic strawberry daquiri :-)
Thought I'd share. It's been an amazing year at the studio filled with awesome moments. We have SO MUCH in store for the end of the year AND we are remodeling the entrance of the studio... it's going to be BEAUTIFUL!!!

Have a great day everyone and STAY WARM :-)

It's been crazy around here!

PLEASE forgive us for falling off the face of the earth! Things at the studio have been wonderfully & insanelly busy! We are still shooting at least 8 or so seniors a week, our newborn and bebe collection babies are steadily coming in and it has made for a wonderful few weeks around here! I actually got an e-mail from a client (and good friend :-) telling me that our BLOG has been "dead" for too long..... so sorry! Sometimes it's hard to keep up with everything! So......below you will see some of the reecent bellies and babies I have photographed... we will update some seniors soon too! The girls and I just came back from Chicago from an AWESOME photographic convention where we met some other amazing photographers and saw the newest products and things out there.... so.... brace yourself! There is a LOT of new things coming in 2010! We are updating so much around here that it makes even my head spin! Yesterday Megan talked to me for like 20 min and NOTHING registered..... haha.... it was actually funny. (Although I am not sure she appreciated repeating everything to me!) STAY TUNNED to the clipper magazine, our fall newsletter that is coming oh so soon and also for our ad in the expectant mothers guide. Lots of GREAT offers coming up! Anyhow, ALL is wonderful in our neck of the woods. It's always fun around here.... the babies, the cute little kiddos and their siblings and the seniors that we shoot are awesome.... love those.... they're like mini modeling sessions! Its been a VERY EXCITING year! Well....gotta go! Got a BEAUTIFUL Wedding to go to today! Smiles to all and have a GREAT weekend!!!
