WDW Wednesday: Building Walls
// December 28th, 2011 // No Comments » // Photos, Theme Parks

There are fashions in reading, even in thinking. You don’t have to follow them unless you want to. On the other hand, watch out. Don’t stick too closely to your favorite subject. That would keep you from adventuring into other fields. It’s silly to build a wall around your interests.
—Walt Disney
Just a thought, standing on the threshold of a new year.
WDW Wednesday: Merry Christmas!
// December 21st, 2011 // No Comments » // Photos, Theme Parks

From me and mine to you and yours, please have yourself a wonderful Christmas and a great holiday season. Look around, be glad for all you have, and hug the folks you love as tight as they can stand. The winter solstice means we’re halfway out of the darkness, after all.
Chloe Is Here! – Orlando Newborn Session
// December 11th, 2011 // 9 Comments » // Newborn, Photos

Last month I had the pleasure of meeting Angie and Carlos for a maternity session at Leu Gardens. Their little Chloe arrived right on schedule, so I visited them at home to get some photos of the new addition. She’s pretty adorable, I must say!









Thanks again, Angie and Carlos! Congratulations and best of luck!

Our little Amy had her first experience playing in the sand at a lakefront beach in St. Cloud recently. We were afraid she’d try to eat the sand, but she just had a blast sweeping across it with her hands. She’s pretty darn cute, isn’t she?
Cheryl’s Little Elves: Winter Park Family Session
// November 28th, 2011 // No Comments » // Family Lifestyle, Photos

I did a newborn session for Cheryl when they welcomed little Stephen earlier this year–now he’s four months old and heading into his first holiday season, so I headed back for a holiday family shoot. It turned out a bit tough to get smiles out of the kids, but I think we got some good shots anyway!















Thanks, Cheryl–I hope you all have a great Christmas season!
Thanksgiving at Ruth’s Place: St. Cloud Family Session
// November 28th, 2011 // No Comments » // Family Lifestyle, Photos

I did a session with Ruth, her husband Chris and their son Will last year, and they invited me back for a repeat. This time we made it Thanksgiving morning, so I could also get some shots with her sisters and their parents! That actually worked out quite well, since their place is on the way to my Dad’s, where we were headed for the holiday. It was a bit too warm for Thanksgiving in my book, but we had a great time anyway. Take a look!















It was a pleasure again, Ruth–I hope to see you again next year!
A Rainy Afternoon At Mickey’s Place: Magic Kingdom Family Session
// November 28th, 2011 // No Comments » // Family Lifestyle, Photos, Theme Parks

I met Mandi, her brother, their Mom, and respective spouses and kiddos at the Magic Kingdom for a quick shoot to document their Thanksgiving-week visit to Walt Disney World. Unfortunately we picked a rainy afternoon, so we had to make do with shooting under cover in and around the Main Street train station, but I think we made it work all right. I hope you agree, Mandi, and I hope you all had a wonderful time and a great Thanksgiving here in Orlando!














At least we got a rainbow to make up for the rain.
Thanks again, Mandi!
WDW Wednesday: Happy Thanksgiving!

The Magic Kingdom is always impressive, but especially when decorated for the holidays. Here’s wishing a very Happy Thanksgiving, from me and mine to you and yours!
Shelbi at Leu Gardens – Orlando Portrait Session
// November 19th, 2011 // No Comments » // Photos, Portrait

I met Shelbi at Leu Gardens today for a quick individual portrait session. She was an outstanding subject, I hardly had to give her any direction at all and I think we got some great stuff. I hope you agree, Shelbi!












Thanks again–I had a great time working with you!
WDW Wednesday: Sonny Eclipse

This guy is a tireless performer–all day, every day at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe in the Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland. Now that’s dedication! I guess it doesn’t hurt that he’s bolted to the stage…
