His Joint....


Well, not really but every time I visit Florida I drive by this place and since he was a wee little boy I've been wanting to take a picture of him in front of it. This one wasn't easy though.....I was by myself and a very busy road was about 8 feet away from the sign and we all know this little guy is a quick one. So...I had to shoot fast. I only had time for a few b/c I had to go meet the fam for some incredible Chinese cuisine.....yeah.....a little slap in Eli's face for sure. But you have no fear, we'll be back and a little Bar-B-Que will be on the menu!!!;-)

LET IT OUT, GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Sometimes you just have to really tell it like it is and show your emotions...don't hold anything back!

I LOVE this picture for two reasons...it so represents what I feel like right about now. With Christmas approaching this is the busiest time of year for the photography business between sessions, designing Christmas cards, getting orders packaged and delivered....so on and so forth. It's a bit overwhelming! BUT...I love it! I'm so excited that people are choosing me to capture these types of moments forever.....I truly feel so blessed!

The second reason I love this picture is that it reminds me of what it's like to be a kid without a care in the world. It truly speaks volumes about childhood. Here's the story behind this: We were at the beach doing pictures. Well, there were birds flying all around us squealing and squawking the whole time. She was yelling at the birds!!! I'm not sure if she was trying to communicate with them or scare them, but either way it was such a hilarious scene. And of course I HAD to capture it. I get a chuckle every time I look at this because she is just not holding ANYTHING back here. She must've felt such a sense of relief after that!;-) So, all of that being said, this one is one of my favorite recent pictures. And this is why I LOVE what I do!

Until next time.....
