TOOTING MY OWN HORN!

I want to thank all my friends and family who have been so supportive and I also want to thank all of the fellow photographers at the meeting who voted for me. It's nice to have my work validated by such talented and consummate professionals. Thank you

ALOHA
So I was swimming with him.. and taking photos and this video and trying to keep up.. (which was very hard) and I was so intent on following him and taking photos (because sometimes I do crazy things for just the right shot) the next thing I knew I was in OPEN water! Can I just tell ya that it freaked me out just a bit. There was no bottom.. there was no left or right only beautiful blue PACIFIC OCEAN and the sky above. Luckily.. I popped my head up and headed back for the beach. But it was unnerving as I looked like a little dot out in a vast vast ocean. And of course I have to admit as much as I would LOVE to get photos face to face of a shark.. The JAWS theme did race through my mind for a slight instant. But it was incredible and as much as I would love to say that my photos will represent the beauty.. they won't. Hawaii, specifically Kauai, was breathtaking in every way imaginable. I even boogie boarded some monstrous waves and lived to tell about it although I did surrender after an hour of all out battling the surf and the sand. Drank a lot of ocean and was hurting the next day (or two) But I DID IT!!!
This is a photo I took of my hubby. Who was great about staying right with me all day as we snorkeled. We really had a blast. If you get the chance .. you have to go. You won't regret it.

catching up and catching my breath (part 3)

She is expecting my second grand child, first grand daughter, any time now..
You have to know that she hates to have her photo taken which as her mother .. a PHOTOGRAPHER.. it's a little frustrating for me... so when she asked what i wanted for

So thank you daughter of mine for doing this..

and thanks my grandson for being such a good big brother to your little sister.. I am sure she loved the car.
catching up and catching my breath (part 2)
this next set is from a client I have done numerous times..
Her sister who lives in alaska was here in florida visiting with her new baby..
So while she was here we did a family portrait for them to give their mom for Mom's day!!!
So you will see sisters and brother horsing around.. Miss Macy who I have done a couple of times before. And finally her sister and the new baby mitchell.

I always have a good time with these guys. And I always love the results..


catching up.. and catching my breath...

a little of my personal life

new galleries added to web page
under 'my work' there is a new gallery called 'giving back' it is a short little documentary of a few of the non-profit photography gigs i have done. this is my way of giving back. I feel there is nothing as rewarding as giving back to the community you live in. I have been blessed in many ways and since i LOVE taking photos.. what better way to help these agencies then to give them something they can use and help their cause.
I have a couple more coming up in the next few months.. so be looking for those.
If you have a non-profit that might need some extra help .. let me know.. i do this for free and i am happy to do it.
Enjoy.
