Family blogging

2008-12-19T09:29:00.005-05:00

This holiday season has been so incredibly crazy! Plus I've been trying to get a handle on this whole facebook revolution, thus my blog needs some serious catching up.

This is the time of the year for family photos, parties etc. This couple, Kathy and Patrick was married a few years ago in Vero Beach. Since then I've returned to photograph the family each year. We all go through experiences that test our strength and determination throughout life, but nothing tests us like a sick child. Little Raymond spent weeks in the hospital recently as he got Salmonella poisoning from touching a reptile at a petting zoo! After weeks of turmoil and fighting for life! Little Raymond had to learn to walk again! This photo shoot means so much to me and of course the family. To see this little star so vibrant and happy is pure magic. Thank guys for keeping me a part of your family and allowing me to document this journey!

The location: Penland School located in the mountains of North Carolina. Where the most renowned artists spend a few weeks of their summer and fall teaching and creating works of art. Here are a few photos from my adventure! I spent my days learning to create collographic prints with international artist and our very own UF Professor Robert Mueller.

Here are a few photos from my adventure:

This is a shot from my drive in the mornings.

Clay artists at work:

Dining with some of the worlds greatest glass blowers is priceless!

Sweetwater Branch Inn, Gainesville FL

2007-12-11T06:38:00.000-05:00

Karin and Alejandro were married at the Sweetwater Branch Inn. My only Gainesville wedding of the year. I was so happy to be able to photograph a wedding here at home. no traveling, no hotel rooms, no restaurant scrambled eggs. just a super couple, local hot spot for weddings and sleeping in my own bed! gotta love it.

So here they are, finally married! Karin is a crazy left brained engineer with some serious right brained desires that keep calling her. She will be assisting me in 2008, I can't wait!

Alejandro is a tri-athlete, just completed the iron-man a few weeks before the wedding.....hence the ring picture on the bikes.

Just an all around super couple. We'll be spending lots of time together this coming year!

One of the fabulous benefits of having this perfect job is not only having the opportunity to photograph such incredible couples, but developing dear friendships, as well as creating works of art via their lives and passions. I am so fortunate to have met Chris and Lynn...not only are they truly committed to each other, but to creativity and art that has become ritual in their lives. Chris an artist, Lynn a dancer together a chemistry of romance and its blissful evolution. Thank you for inspiring me to continue my art!
