Last season, I was called to do a fantastic editorial with a wonderful team of girls! Although the editorial has been complete for some time, I don’t think we’ll have the privilege of seeing it in print (I recently heard they’ve gone out of business. It’s a shame our local publications struggle as much as they do). But regardless, the team was fantastic and the photos are beautiful – so I’m finally going to share them!

And our Cover image…

Tiffany came out to Oviedo the other day to help me out with my project, and we decided to run out and grab a quick 20 minute session of her and her boyfriend, Tibor. I haven’t seen Tiffany since somewhere in 2007, so it was really fun catching up and hanging out for a little bit!

As a side note, it’s also 5am, and I can’t believe I’m still up Ah, the life of a photographer. Whoever says our lives are easy because we have to “sacrifice our Saturday nights” has never spent 20 hours editing, while their family enjoys a lazy Sunday playing games and watching tv (ok, I lied a little bit – I’m watching Three’s Company right now). Actually, I think I’ve logged something like  110 work-hours this last week. I think this coming week may be more. Not that I’d change that, of course, because I’m finally doing what I love more than anything else. But I can tell you I’ve worked harder (and longer) at my passion than I ever did at a full-time job. Ever. Mentally, physically…. ever. And I know about 300 photographers across the world who would surely confirm that.

Lucky for me, this doesn’t feel like work. And admittedly, I’d rather be sitting here writing this blog post than sleeping (we can sleep when we die, right?). Although I may turn in shortly… but at this point, I’m not sure it’s worth it?

However, it may be so late that I’m delirious, and that surely wouldn’t be a good way to write a blog post. I may have to re-read this tomorrow and see how completely crazy I sound

Maybe I should just stick to what I know – and get you to the pictures!

Hollie is totally on me to post her shot from yesterday’s shoot – but I wanted to update quick about my recent “induction” in to Modern Photographers! I’m super excited about this, because joining is purely dependent on solid business practice, technical skill, a vote from our peers and most importantly – the creative vision and artistic ability to sustain in today’s “Modern Photography” market!

Although anyone is welcome to apply, acceptance is limited – and so it’s a huge honor that others in my field understand and respect my work. As 2010 really jumpstarts for me, I’m looking forward to what this year will bring!

Yay, yay, yay!! Heather only has about 5 weeks to go before sweet little Aislynn gets here! If you missed her 6 month session, be sure to check it out here – and look how much she’s grown!

I can’t wait to see Aislynn for her newborn session next month

Here’s a quick teaser from yesterday’s session with Heather and Jason!

I was digging through my web traffic analytics and caught a steady stream of new web hits from Brenda’s Wedding Blog (back in Dec.)! I didn’t even know she featured one of my shots from Hollie’s Couture Bridal session on her Eye Candy Friday column! Super cute! Thanks, Brenda’s Blog, for featuring this shot back in December, and thanks to all of her blog readers for stopping by!
