Faviola! First time model? YES!!

Here is a sneak peak of one of my all time favorite models...Faviola. Today was the first day of my "What's in Your Toolbox?" Workshop with Richard Pedrelli. I met Richard about a month ago and he asked if I would do a workshop with him and the day if finally here. Richard drove up from Atlanta and will be here for one more day to try out all the new ideas that are now in his toolbox. He shot his butt off and here are several of his images. We will be up all night at this rate. :)



Richard's Favorites...

Sneak Peak of Leah & Louis's Wedding on Cape Cod!

Let me introduce you to the Mr. & Mrs. Olave! One of the most interesting things for me to see at a wedding is the how and why two people are together. Leah and Louis's reasons were obvious. These two really know how to have fun together and really bring out the best in each other. The cake feeding pictures are hilarious and so much fun! I can't wait to get their slideshow together and share those images a.s.a.p.!

Endless Summer

I found this at Staples the other day and I flipped out. I have always wanted this poster and it was only $6 bucks! It's such a great movie. This is the third thing that I have found at Staples that I can't find anywhere else. The last one was the song "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by Louis Armstrong. NO ONE ELSE HAD IT!

A Mini-Workshop

I have recently meet a very cool photographer from Atlanta named Richard Pedrelli. Richard has had a long career in computers and is now learning and loving photography. He has an incredible mind and is just the sort of person that has taken the time to research things before he gives advice. I called him recently to get some advice on photographing a rodeo that I am shooting in September and we became fast friends. Richard and I have planned a mini-workshop to help him with his photography and he is helping me with getting the most of out my computer and saving me tons of time by sharing things that he has researched. I am looking forward to working together on some fun artwork pieces. I am posting one of Richard's favorites from my website that I took in San Fransisco from the Golden Gate bridge (not the crow's nest)! Quite a few people ask me that. :) This one's for you Richard!

Cari & Ryan's Engagement Session

I wish I had a week to photograph these two. I would like to do an entire shoot of super silly facial expressions and poses...maybe even some costumes. As for this shoot, there were so many I wanted to play with in PS that I forgot to eat dinner. I love the blue!!

Jessica & Dan 06.07.08

Every once in awhile I get to shoot a wedding in Ohio with my great friend Carmen of blink of an eye photography. Jessica and Dan's wedding was in Cincinnati, and they had a special meeting before their evening wedding to take some pictures fun pictures in Mt. Echo Park. To keep the tradition of not seeing the bride in her dress before she came down the aisle, Jessica had a second "REAL" dress for the actual ceremony which really surprised Dan! I have never heard of anyone doing this, but it totally got him.

Lisa LeCuyer is heading for Buffalo, NY!

Watch out for Lisa LeCuyer, she might be on Broadway soon! With her energy no one will be able to keep up!

I'm in love with this typewriter and I can barely compose!

It's rare that I have a compulsive need to post four version of the same image, but I am in love with this typewriter and all the different ways it can be processed. Do you have a favorite?
