Published and Featured!!!
I finally did it! So many of my clients have been telling me for so long to submit something of mine out into the world. I've been too afraid of the rejection and the criticism but I have recently started to grow in confidence about my abilities as a photographer. It doesn't hurt that I have amazing clients who always remind me how awesome they think my work is!
I've been following this amazing website.. www.rocknrollbride.com for what seems like forever now. I've always been so inspired by stuff that gets published on there. Being more artistically inclined in my own work, I've been moved by the off beat, awesomeness that the owner of the blogsite, Kat publishes on it.
I finally submitted something just a couple short days ago, Rebecca and Justin's amazing engagement session and Kat featured and published it on her blogsite this morning! She has hundreds, possibly thousands of loyal blogsite readers from all over the planet so for me, this is huge! Maybe next time, I'll submit something to a magazine. Haha, okay maybe not just yet! Maybe I'll start with a print competition for WPPI or something first. :-)

Since Halloween is around the corner....
I thought I would share a bridal session I did around last Halloween for a wonderful past bride of mine, Jennifer who got married on Halloween in 2008. I've never blogged this before because I didn't even start blogging until this year.
Jennifer is beyond awesome in my book. She was willing to do anything we wanted her to do in her wedding dress and this session was BEFORE the wedding day! We just adore it when a bride gives us free creative control and completely trusts us and our artistic vision.
Jen got her amazing wedding dress from Brides Against Breast Cancer to support their cause. Unfortunately, the designer names weren't released to the brides who bought the dresses so we don't know who to credit for this ridiculously unique, awesome wedding dress but we do know that it made it's debut in a runway show in New York before Brides Against Breast Cancer picked it up.
(Side note) - As most of you are well aware, my mother passed away from Breast Cancer in early 2004. I cannot stress enough how amazing it is that a foundation like BABC exists in the over-saturated wedding market. Every gown given by a designer or another bride to BABC is a gown purchased from another bride in need and that money goes to try to find a prevention or cure to help other women like my mother, but who may still have a chance at survival.
Girls, don't let your dress hang in the closet for 20 years hoping your daughter will want to wear it. 20 years from now, it will be out of style and she most likely won't want to wear it. Instead, donate it to Brides Against Breast Cancer and help make someones wishes come true while giving back in an enormous way.
Okay, sorry for getting all mushy on you... back to Jennifer!!
Jen's connections with a friend in Mount Airy, North Carolina landed us at this awesome property FILLED with whimsical eye candy, cool props and an awesome stage for our shoot. Oh how I wish I could stumble on something like this here in Tampa, Florida. I'd be in heaven!
Here are some of our favs from Jen's amazing Bridal Session!!
We started off in a bamboo forest where I got eaten alive by mosquitoes. Somehow or another, Latanya and Jen managed not to get bitten much but I was covered in bites. Not very fun but definitely worth it in the end!
Then we wandered over to this awesome gazebo, one of the most unique gazebo's I've ever seen in my entire life. We got some pretty sick stuff there.
And then into this abandoned shed...
And they even had a water windmill. We used a garden hose and held our hands over the nozzle to make a spray mist come out and the lady who owns the propery spun the wheel and hid out of sight. :-)
My infatuation with bold colors led me to use this awesome hutch
Then we headed off into another shed where we noticed a skull head and I just so happened to have a little lantern in the car so we decided to do something a bit more spooky since Jen was getting married on Halloween!
Jen is officially awesome for doing this next shot and totally rocking it out without a care in the world about how insane she looked or how much grease could leak onto her wedding dress before she got married! We love you Jen!
Then we found this awesome hallway of old doors and of course had to get some shots there!
And then we ran into this guest house area that was covered in ivy. So pretty and whimsical!
Last stop, we made our way to the train tracks. They were covered in sap and I didn't even want to sit on them in my regular street clothes but Jen plopped right down and put her bare bottom on the tracks so she wouldn't be sitting on the actual dress.
We hope you enjoyed these as much as we still do every time we look at them!
Until next time...

Boudoir Marathon : December 6th 2009
FULLY BOOKED -- FULLY BOOKED -- FULLY BOOKED -- FULLY BOOKED
Sorry ladies, all spots have been filled!
Hey Ladies!!
We're doing it again! One final boudoir marathon for 2009! We weren't planning on having another one until 2010 but we had a few girls who wanted to do it so we've put together an amazing one! The photos will be done in time for Valentine's Day so all of you ladies who are already married can also give them as a gift. There are only 1 slot left out of 5!!!
Check out this amazing location! As always, I went above and beyond to make something amazing happen. We're getting this location for a steal with no added on commerical shoot fees and they're waiving the $300 cleaning fee for us! (More details at the bottom of the pictures!)
Photos taken by me on a quick walk through (non professional lighting)
House from the back:
Master bedroom. We will be bringing white comforters with us to replace over the brown ones
Main entrance
View from the boat house
Outside guest bedroom
Pool table room
The photos below were not taken by me. They are the house stock photos and I do not know who to credit for them as the photographers name was not listed.
Main house from front
Boat dock
Master Bathroom
Grand Staircase
Amazing kitchen
Side view of pool
View of pool from Cabana
Isn't that space ridiculously awesome? We think so!
We have free run of the place! We've really outdone ourselves with this one and anyone who signs up for this marathon is going to get some unique, original photos that not many ladies can say they've ever gotten for a boudoir session!
Hair/Make-up can be added on for an additional $75 with an amazing hair and make-up
artist or you can do them on your own or go to the MAC counter. I definitely recommend professional hair and make-up though as this location is straight out of a magazine and you should look like you are too!
If you have any questions, please email me. If you're on the fence, make the
jump! There's just 1 spot left and it's going to go fast. This house is
amazing and we're going to have a BLAST!!

I look forward to seeing you all there!

Miss C.S. Boudoir Photo Reveal
This is the final session from my June boudoir marathon. Some of you must be thinking I am a huge slacker because that marathon was 3 1/2 months ago. Well, I had 2 months to get them done originally and then all of the girls wanted extra photos edited and bought extra photos and albums so they had to wait a bit longer for me to edit all of the additional photos so I wouldn't fall behind on my other work.
Miss C.S. was great to shoot. She has a bit of a sassy, serious look that is both fierce and sexy. Her man is going to flip out on their wedding night when he sees these amazing pictures!
Hope you enjoy. These are my favorites out of the bunch!
I loved this next one in both color and black and white and couldn't decide!
This is that last shot, turned upside down and cropped. I think it's pretty cool!
These next 2 shots are the most risque in the bunch but they're still classy. I was playing with the reflections on the table in the foreground. :-)
Miss C.S. has amazing legs! I just had to get them broken down into a model pose.
And last shot. We will do artistic nudes as long as they are classy as we have a more upscale brand for boudoir. Any ladies who want to do something like this, just let us know!
Until next time.....
