Gardens

I have more flower photos from my time at Leu Gardens yesterday.  For any photographers out there, these were all shot (including the ones I posted yesterday) with the Canon 100mm macro lens.  Light is all natural light, shot in the morning between 10 & 11am.  Any of the photos here, or in previous posts are available for sale. You can contact me using the contact form above, if you are interested in purchasing for your personal use.

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

 

“The Earth Laughs in Flowers”

The title of this post is also one of my favorites quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson.  Since the weather was so beautiful today, I decided to spend the morning at one of my favorite places in Central Florida – Leu Gardens.  At this time of year, the camillas are blooming and are just gorgeous!  I’m still editing what I captured today, but here are a couple of my favorites.

 

 

Enjoy!

Happy 2012 and a Look Back at 2011

This morning an email went out with a link to the 2011 End-of-year Slideshow.  I’ve had so much fun putting this together that I’m going to make it an annual tradition.  This year’s slideshow features some of my clients that were photographed in 2011.  I wish I could have included everyone, but there are so limitations since the song is only so long.  As it is, the slideshow goes very quickly, so you should be ready to watch it as soon as it starts.

 

Speaking of the many clients who were in front of my camera this year, I actually went back and counted and I was shocked to see that in 2011 I photographed almost 650 people and their 4-legged friends!  wow.  And, that doesn’t count some of the commercial clients I worked with, such as the Bach Festival or the 2 weddings I photographed.  I was even surprised by that number.:)

Looking forward to 2012, I’m excited to continue offering both Premium and Mini sessions year round.  I’ll be offering special sessions around the time that the azaleas are in bloom (probably late-February -early March).  I’m going to continue to offer returning clients a price break on Premium Sessions (just ask!). And, finally I’m going to be offering a few new products, as well as expanding some of my current product lines.

 

Now, without further ado, to view the 2011 End of Year Slideshow, click on the following link:

If you like what you see, I’d love for you to share it with family and friends.:)

 

Happy 2012.

 

The last of 2011

Earlier today I did my last session of 2011.  Its been a good year.:) I’m working on a slideshow that highlights sessions from 2011 and should have that posted on New Year’s Day.  If you are on my email list, you’ll get an email letting you know its ready.  If you are not on my email list, be sure to check the blog.

I want to leave you with two images from today’s session.

 

We Are Family

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family while they were all visiting Orlando the week before Christmas.  I have to point out what a great job they did on coordinating, but not matching, their clothes.
