December 24, 2011i heart faces | Fix-it Friday challenge
October 8, 2011I just recently joined the i heart faces photography community. I am still learning everything it has to offer and exploring the website and community group. As part of the community, i heart faces, has a Fix-it Friday photography challenge. I took part in it for the first time yesterday. Basically they provide a photo from a photographer that has offered to share an image for experimentation. Photographers then have the opportunity to edit the image and share your edit on the forum. I had a great time editing the image and wanted to share my first attempt:
Cody’s Grad Party | PhotoBooth
September 22, 2011One more catch up post…and this is for the fam! Cody’s high school graduation party was very special. I posted those pics here. I did post a few of the PhotoBooth fun on my Facebook page as well but really wanted to feature that here, on the blog, for the my family! It was actually my first time setting up a full-on-official PhotoBooth and I loved it! It gave everyone a chance to take part in the festivities and create some more memories. So here is everyone playing in the PhotoBooth…
Ridge | Bundle of Joy
September 20, 2011Ok so I thought I was caught up (wishful thinking on my part!) because even though Ridge is now well into his first year of life you just have to meet this bundle of joy. When I was in Texas last spring to shoot a wedding I was fortunate enough that Ashley agreed to pick me up so I got to spend the afternoon with her and Ridge. I fell in love with him instantly and know that the next time I see him he will probably be walking so I figured I better get this post up quick…
Elijah | Pure Happiness
September 14, 2011I am finally getting around to posting a few of my personal posts from my trip to Texas last spring. A few of my friends had recently had babies and I could not wait to meet them. I had less than 30 minutes to visit with the Lara family and it was not even close to enough but I truly treasured every moment with precious Elijah…
Impromptu with the Armintor Girls
September 6, 2011I was in Texas in the spring for a wedding and met up with my wonderful friend Melissa. Melissa brought along her two girls-Kennedy and Piper (I think they were a little bummed Jonathan wasn’t there to juggle for them). So…I did the next best thing…took impromptu pictures of them. I am FINALLY getting around to posting them (hopefully they are not in high school yet!) So here are two of my favorite Texas gals…
Cody: Senior 2011 | Orlando Senior Photographer
September 2, 2011My son began his life at Florida State University as a college student this week (my thoughts on that are here) so I thought it was the perfect time to share his high school senior photo shoot pictures. This was an extremely special photo shoot to me-my very own son’s senior pictures-something we got to share together. We had a great time walking around downtown Orlando, and of course Cody had three outfit changes! Capturing all sides and all aspects of Cody’s personality was important to me. He is sweet but also has a cocky side (some call this sarcastic!) He is smart, insightful, witty and funny. He is opinionated yet easy going. He sees the world globally and understands and practices tolerance. He has a creative side but likes order and processes. He is loyal and loving and honest. He treasures tradition and family. He loves sports, GQ, movies, Xbox, designer clothes, roller coasters, cars, his Honda Ruckus… and right now Mila Kunis and Emma Watson! He is above all the most wonderful son I could have ever asked for and I could not be more proud.
Simiskey Family | Orlando Family Photographer
August 5, 2011My sister and her family came to Orlando for Cody’s graduation from high school. We celebrated all week and as part of the celebration we all headed to Universal Studios Islands of Adventure (my sis is a huge Harry Potter fan and it was her sole goal to get a wand!) While we were at Universal my sister spotted the infamous “Thing” Dr. Seuss shirts and just had to do it. So we set up a little make-shift photo shoot in the backyard and grabbed a few shots of her “The Mother of all Things”, her husband “The Father of All Things” and their four adorable ”Things”…
By the way…she got Luna’s wand!
