Bye Shannon! :(

Shannon has gone back to college, WAW! She is so much fun and a lot of help when she works at the studio while home on break. Whenever she leaves for school I photograph her as a 'kind-of-study' in the way she's changing, blossoming and maturing into womanhood. Intuitive,creative, tender, adventurous, confident and, on top of everything else, pretty smart....:), she will one day be a 'Divine Designer',:), sought after by all those clients with great taste wanting the 'Best' of the best!
Shannon, have fun and remember to always 'paint the town' pink!

Past Client, 'by invitation only'!

Karen is one of my 'timeless beauty' clients!

At the beginning of each new year, when things slow down after the Holiday rush, I run a Valentine Special. This year I decided to make it a little bit more special by sending out invitations to only my past clients. The atmosphere should be festive with 'chilled bubbly' to sip, chocolate covered strawberries to nibble on, a talented make-up artist (on the 'all woman' staff) to pamper you like a movie star and a beautiful set design for an elegant portrait session.

For V-day a couple years ago Chris requested a portrait of myself. After presenting him with the portrait I thought to myself "Why didn't I do that 15 years ago when I had some va-va-voom still happening?". So, because of that experience, I cheer on women everywhere to have a beautiful image taken of themselves at least once in their life time, especially when they're still

va-va-voomimg!

Joey :D

Here we are, January first, 2009 and we find ourselves down in the studio working on juicy projects for this new year. We just can't help ourselves because we love what we do and besides, Shannon needs money for college. When she goes back to Cornell we're gonna miss her soooooooooo much because of the creative things she does around here (see Joey's wrapped canvas above). But how could she resist working on this project with such a cute boy...
