Its Earth Day!

So I failed at planning something extravagant to do for earth day today…so I decided I would give out a free mini-photo shoot…but here is the catch…

To qualify…you must write a reply directly on the blog post as a comment (you can add it to the FB page as well if you would like) telling me what you are doing to celebrate Earth day. What changes are you making in your life to help the planet? How are you reducing your carbon footprint? Big or small it doesn’t matter… One lucky person will be chosen to have a free photo shoot. If you are not in Baltimore, to qualify you must be willing to travel to Baltimore for the shoot. Even if you aren’t local, feel free to reply. I want to know what everyone is doing. For starters…I’m gonna plant some of my herb seeds that have been sitting around untouched…

Sneak Peek: Paris

I've been wanting to practice with some beauty shots for the longest time, and I finally did. I recruited a friend of mine to allow me to try out some ideas on her and they came out so beautiful (if I do say so myself). Check them out...let me know what you think!

Sneak Peek: Masherra

I shot this some weeks ago, but I have not been updating my blog, so I wanted to add it. 

Sneak Peek: Kaiden

So sleeping was not quite in his vocabulary either. In fact crying was much more the protocol, but you just gotta love it... We managed some good shots.

Sneak Peek: Kayla's Sweet 16

Happy Sweet 16 to Miss Kayla. I photographed her Sweet 16 birthday party... here is a sneak peek of a few photos from the day...

Happy Birthday Kayla!

Snowstorm 2011

It was a beautiful work of God. Snow, thunder, and lightening...I think the first snow "storm" I have ever witnessed. Other than the fact that we lost power and didn't get it back until late the next day, it was a beautiful experience (can't you tell I didn't have to shovel any snow??).

Here are a few pictures from the morning after (it was actually warmer outside than inside). I kept myself warm by sprinkling cayenne pepper in my socks and gloves, and layering up the clothing!

NEW YEAR 2011! Self Portrait.

I have been neglecting you guys...I am sorry... The end of the year was hectic for me and I managed to let all thoughts of blogging (and I did consider it--honest) fall to the bottom of my priorities list...so I just wanted to check in and say you are not forgotten. I am working on updating my website (LONG OVERDUE) and I am also planning on doing a few more personal project this year. I was considering the 365 day project, then the 52 week, but I think I may have settled on the 12 month (I totally made up the 12 month one myself). That's once a month (I can't possibly screw that one up). I still haven't settled on the terms but I am going to do ONE good, well though out, pushing the envelope, shoot per month at a minimum! I've also been working on a small independent film (Director of Photography) and so I can't wait to share some photos from that experience with you! Anyway--just as a just because...here is a self portrait that I did of myself. I just got a backdrop that fits my stand, so I was practicing!

Here is one of the kid! Isn't she getting so big!!
