I get by with a little help from my friends

So I've been rockin' a killer sinus infection for the past 2 weeks and I finally went to the doctor on Friday (I know, I know!) But no matter how crummy I felt, I was up bright and early on Saturday morning to hang with the fab Central Florida Flickr crew. We had a few models and did some shooting around downtown Winter Park.









Keep an eye out for images from my friends Suzie Seagraves and Michelle at Daydream Concepts.

And, if you haven't already noticed, check out the new logo! It's made an appearance on my web page, now I just need to get it on the blog (but I want to do a major blog overhaul, so that may take a bit!)

Buy a wedding dress, make a difference!

On March 14 & 15, 2008, Brides Against Breast Cancer is having their Orlando Charity Wedding Gown Sale. Buy a dress at the sale and 100% of the purchase proceeds help grant final wishes of terminal breast cancer patients. If you're a past bride and not sure what to do with your gown, why not donate it and make a difference? For those of you that don't know, this is a cause that is near to my heart because my grandmother passed away from breast cancer related complications.

Boudoir Portrait Bash - Two new dates!


The results of the poll are in!

Shortly after your session, a selection of images will be posted to a password protected online gallery. Choose 12 of your favorite images to be showcased in a black 5x7 Addison Elite Album - the perfect gift for that special someone! Each image in your album is professionally retouched (complete with digital lipo if desired!) to ensure that you look your absolute best!

BONUS!: You also receive the high resolution digital files of the 12 images that appear in your album!

The when: Saturday, March 8 AND Saturday, April 19

The where: That's just between us girls! Location details will be provided upon booking.

In home boudoir sessions also available!

I've had a few questions regarding the price of the boudoir bash. Yes, it is expensive, I'm not going to deny it! However there are a lot of costs involved (such as the hotel, hair & make-up, champagne and all the snacks we provide - not to mention the actual album and the prints). Add to that, the fact that I spend 15-30 minutes retouching each of the 12 images that appears in your album so you look extra fantastic, well, it adds up.

If you're looking for a more cost effective solution, I also offer in home sessions.

Individual in home boudoir sessions are $450 plus Florida state sales tax. That includes a 90 minute session with me, an online password protected gallery of proofs, and the same 5x7 Addison Elite album (with 12 retouched prints of your choice) that's included in the boudoir bash package. These sessions can occur in a hotel if you choose, but you would be responsible for booking and the costs of the hotel.

What's not included in the individual sessions is the hotel, champagne & chocolate covered strawberries/snacks or hair and makeup. Hair and makeup is always suggested and I'm pleased to suggest Dianne of Makeup by Dianne (she does the boudoir bashes). She charges $100 for hair & makeup.

Amelia Island


Just dropping off a random shot from my Amelia Island trip last weekend. Looks like a beautiful day, but it was a whopping 43 degrees (cold by Florida standards!)

Saturday, February 2, 2008

Um, yeah


I've never seen a cat sleep like this before in my life. But that's our crazy boy snoozin' and it's not an uncommon position for him either. We think he was a dog in a past life:)
