I guess sooner or later it was going to happen...

This is one of those "DUH" moments... I spent the afternoon photographing Taylor - she's a beautiful girl with a great spirit. After some studio shots, we headed to Channelside, got all the way to the parking garage, even parked... and I realized that I had forgotten my....... CAMERA! I know I'm a pro and things like this aren't supposed to happen... but I guess it proves that I'm only human (as if there was any doubt!), and Taylor was very gracious about it. So we're going to "finish" the session some other time...

Here are two quick ones from today...

Cody

Sunday afternoon was spent photographing Cody for his senior portraits. Cody didn't feel well, but he sure was a trooper!

NHS Zombie Prom

Come see Newsome High School's production of Zombie Prom! Thursday 7pm and Friday 7pm shows - Tickets are $8 for regular admission, $6 for students with ID.

"Back to work"

I threw my back out last Saturday doing... well... nothing! and ended up spending four days in the hospital. I guess that was my body's way of telling me that I needed some rest, so I willingly listened. Thanks to everyone who called and emailed me while I was out of commission. I'm feeling much better today - every day is better.

In happier news, DaSilva's on Fish Hawk Boulevard is allowing me to display some of my images in their store. Mike Desario, the store manager, is an artist and the walls are almost covered with local artists' work. I plan to change my display periodically. The first set of images is going up tomorrow morning, and will include seniors Joey & Ashley, baby Amelia, and an image from Bill & Michelle's wedding, taken at Hollis Gardens in Lakeland. I hope everyone will stop in, have a coffee, and see my work! Feel free to tell me what you think! :)

Family in town

Cris' sister and her family came for a visit. We had a great time going to Busch Gardens, Ybor, Channelside, and just hanging out poolside. Amanda & Hannah are the same age, and they all got along beautifully. It was a pleasant visit!

Adoption ceremony

I photographed a child for the Heart Gallery last fall, and tomorrow morning I am attending her adoption ceremony! I'm very excited that she has found a family. You can learn more about the Heart Gallery here: http://www.heartgallerytampabay.org/
