She's Got the Look!

Recently I had an opportunity to be part of a celebrity photo shoot, I assisted photographer Antonio Gabriel for a spread in the At Home section of In Touch magazine.
Kim Alexis is one of the world's first super models she is also known for her commitment to physical fitness. Now Kim is hosting a new show on TV Land called She's Got the Look, granting women 35 and older a chance at launching a super modeling career! The winner will receive a contract with Wilhelmina Modeling Agency and a spread in Self Magazine.
During this shoot I had an opportunity to meet Kim and found her to be very friendly and down to earth, she is also a big animal lover. She has a chocolate lab, several cats and 3 pigs! Yep that's right THREE pigs and believe me, they're not small.
Here are a couple of pictures I took that day.
Please check out the article in In Touch and check out She's Got the Look airing now on TV Land.

Update - I'm still here!

So March was a very busy month for me, I have been very busy planning for the future and getting some old loose ends, tied up. I apologize for not keeping the blog up to date but I am going to try and get caught up a bit.

I hope everybody had a great Easter, I spent the day with my family and took many pictures of them, as well as some landscape. Here are a few.

Everlasting Love

I thought I'd share a shoot I did last weekend with my parents. My parents have been married for 55 amazing years. They have 3 children and 3 grand-children. They inspire me to be the best spouse possible, they have taught me that is takes hard work, patience, and communication to make it work.

I took the time this morning to read some authors, poets, and philosophers intimate thoughts on the subject of Love....here are a few of my favorite:

Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale. -author unknown

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start right then - author unknown

A happy marriage is a long converstaion which always seems too short. - Mauroios

Many years ago when I was engaged I was in the hair salon flipping though a magazine when I came across this poem. I wrote it down and have kept it all these years, It inspired and comforted me, so today I will share it with you.

What is Love?

Whatis Love?

What can it be?

It's not the romance

You see on T.V...

Love is everyday problems

Being shared by two...

A leaky faucet,

A bill overdue...

A crying baby,

A car that won't run

A delayed special dinner,

With the roast overdone...

A missed appointment

A loss in pay...

Those little setbacks

We face everyday...

Yes love is not something

That money can bring...

It's knowing that together

We can face anything.

-Joanne Barnes

Dog-gone Cute!

Over the weekend I took some time to spend with my family in Naples, FL. We spent one afternoon at the Seafood Festival in Everglades City, while there I encountered this little guy. He was just too cute to pass up with his little cap and shades I had to take his picture. I also had the opportunity to visit an art show and saw many images taken by Clyde Butcher who is a known for his black & white photography of the Florida Everglades.

Oh la la...Look what's new!

A Little Boy & His Bear

This is Jacob and I have been photographing him since he was 1 week old! This past summer his family moved back to Texas where his Mommy was originally from and we miss them very much. They came back for a quick visit over the holiday's and I was able to get a few new shots of this adorable little boy. And boy did he grow....so much in such a short amount of time! Jacob really was not in to having his picture made that day but we still were able to get quite a few great shots. All these shots have an antique effect, which I think gives these images such a timeless look. A little boy & his bear. How sweet. I know he will be even bigger the next time I see him as he is quickly leaving the baby stages and becoming a little boy.

Imaging USA

I just returned from Imaging USA which is one of the largest photography trade shows. It had over 600 vendors and about 150,000 sq ft of show space. Photographers from all over the world gathered to see new products, get inspired by the latest trends, purchase new equipment, and most importantly be educated by the industry leaders.
I attended classes by David Trust, JB & DeEtte Sallee, Jed & Vicki Taufer, Yervant, Ann Monteith, Sarah Petty, Tim & Bev Walden, Lori Nordstrom, Jeff & Julia Woods, Sandy Puc and many others. I have learned so much my head just may explode! But the good news is I am ready to put all that knowledge to work so look for new products to be rolling out soon as well as fresh new images!
I can't wait to get started!

Welcome 2008!

Wow! I really can't believe it's 2008....where does the time go? I have been looking back at all the images I took over the past year and thinking about all the wonderful and amazing people I've met. An enormous THANK YOU to all my clients, thank you for opening up your lives to me and allowing me to document all those important memories.
I am looking forward to seeing you all again in 2008!

Visions of Christmas

Just wanted to share a few images from Christmas day. I hope everybody had a joyous holiday spent with family and friends. Hope you enjoy.

Santa's coming to town!

With Santa and the Mrs. On their way to Ponte Vedra this weekend to see all our local boys and girls at Sawgrass Village, it got me thinking about those reindeer. You know Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, and Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and of course Rudolf but what do you really know about reindeer? Well here are a few interesting facts.
· A reindeer can pull twice its weight for miles on end providing muscle power for the nomadic saami people.
· Their antlers are made up of the fastest growing tissue in the animal kingdom, growing up to an inch a day.
· Both male & female reindeer have antlers.
· Reindeer eat any vegetation found in the tundra; they have an amazing sense of smell allowing them to detect food beneath 3 feet of snow.
· Reindeer fur is also very insulating. It protects the deer from 80degrees below zero up to 115 degrees.
· Reindeer can swim faster than an Olympic swimmer at around 4 mph. Wow!
Well I’m not sure the reindeer will be making an appearance this weekend, they will probably be resting up for their big trip, but I hope you enjoyed a little reindeer fun – facts!

Photos with Santa

Come see us at Sawgrass Village this Saturday December 8th from 2-6pm.

We will be taking pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the gazebo.

This is a great opportunity to get a little shopping done while enjoying the holiday season.

The little ones can put in there special requests in with the big man while they have their pictures made and even take a train ride!

Hope to see you there!

Brothers & All Boy!

Meet Noah & Zachary, these are two very engergetic boys whom I had a great time photographing recently. These portraits were taken at St Augustine beach just south of the pier.

Noah is 6 years old and loves baseball and cars. He loves to go to the beach, swim, and play outside with his friends.

Zachary is 5 years old and loves both football and baseball. He's the "lady's man" of the duo with a new girlfriend everyweek (too cute!). He is very active and loves to be outside playing or swimming.

I had such great fun with them and am very glad I was able to capture a moment in these young boys lives , a moment to be cherished!

Ivy & Ryan

Last Saturday I photographed this mother daughter duo, we did both studio and outdoor portraits with outfit changes. Even though Ryan was not feeling well she did great and we all had a great time.

Just a Note

I am truly in the middle of the rush of the holiday season - so that is why it has been so long since I've updated my blog :( But I promise to get better about it and to continue to share whats happening at Firefly.
It has been quite busy this last month, Operation Tuscany was a success, I am looking forward to phase II (I will explain more of that later). The KidtKid sale went great - Thank You for all of you who came out and saw me, we gave away several portrait sessions so congratulations to those who won.
With Thanksgiving just a litter over a week away I am quite confident things will be even crazier than it has been but I do promise to keep things updated!! So keep checking back and leave me a comment!
