Skate!









What an amazing weekend!!!  The colors
of Fall where glowing!!!!  

Alex is a mini Ashton Kutcher.  I am trying
to get his Mom to let him model, he has the
"it" factor.  He also can surf, skate, play lacrosse,
bike and swim like a fish!

Ali and Sam







My oldest best friend, Judy (Klatt) Hoffman
had me photograph her darling girls Ali and Sam.
Ali looks like Judy, and Sam has her silly
personality!!  It was fun to hang out with 
Judy with her girls, a couple times Judy
and I did our silly voice and walk we use to 
do in high school.  Her girls just looked at
us like we where weird.  Of course.
We are so not cool anymore!

Having mentors

My friend Adrian Buckmaster is one of the finest
photographers I know.  He has taught me so much
about this industry and the art of my craft. 
I think it is important to share with others and
have someone you respect help guide you or just
give you suggestions. We have gotten into major debates
over things, because we are both very passionate people.
But I love debating and he doesn't mind it either.
It's healthy to challenge friends, it makes you grow and
think about things.   If you don't have a mentor,
maybe be open to one, and your mentor will find you.

I listed his site on my blog section (check out)

This is a portrait he did of my boyfriend Emil.
I love the teddy bear!!!!!

Jack o' lanterns, apple cider, cozy sweaters,
hot soup, red wine, fire places, dogs in their 
coats, socks, red leaves, candy corn, crisp air, 
second blanket, boots, orange sun, carmel apples,
spicy chili, football games, spice cookies, kids homework,
hayrides, scary costumes, pumpkin picking, snuggling.

Fall is here!!!!!!  It's my absolute favorite time of year!
Don't forget to put your nose up to the sky and smell
the season.

LOVE JOY

Last weekend I photographed a wedding in South Jersey.
The bride's name was so beautiful. Joy Love.   Nickname "Love"
It was suppose to rain that day, but I truly believe their strong
faith and the love from their families kept the rain away.

It was one year that day my Mom Mary Ellen passed away.
I really did not want to be working..I was blessed with God's presence
in the church during their ceremony.  It was a hint from my Mom that she was
A O K !

Baby shower gift idea

Have you ever been stuck on what to give to
a pregnant buddy for her baby shower gift?
Well, my Niece Bonnie decided to give her
friend Amanda a portrait done by me.
And her other friend Meg bought the canvas
print for her present to Amanda. It really is
a piece of art. And something that is unique
and elegant as well. I bet I will get more calls
on this idea. The word is speading, like everyone's
bellies!

Georgie Porgie


Georgie Porgie Pumpkin Pie!  Mmmm....pumpkin pie..
Ok.  Let me get back to this Lovebug Georgie.
She is a Cock a poo and she is 8 years old. 
Her Mom is Paula and her Dad is Paul.  Her
favorite thing to do is to play catch. ALL DAY!!
I got some kisses during this shoot.





Summer Starlets


Summer's over.  Whah!!!!  I wish it was 5 months, not 3 months.
Oh well.  Good news is,  I was busy all summer with headshots
and weddings.  I did manage to have two weeks vacation in
Ocean City, NJ.  Got myself a good tan.  For me.  Being 
Scottish and German is not a good mix for a tropical tan.  

Here are some 0f the many great Actresses I photographed 
this summer.  "Break a leg" girls!  Wow them this Fall!!!



James, Mommy and Daddy

I spent Labor Day weekend with my best friend
Lisa Marie, her husband Jamie and baby James who happens to 
have Lisa Marie's eyes.  We went tubing on the Delaware River and
it was a blast.  I didn't think I would like it, but next time I will
bring my waterproof camera.  I had a great time.  Thank you
for your hospitality!  I love you guys!

















Little Miss Turner

Little Miss Tuner was such a baby doll!  She giggled 
every time my lights would pop!  
Look at her cherub-ness!
Her mommy Shaye 
is a fun & happy person.  Turner is blessed.
I photographed Shaye's wedding last year.  
I think it goes down as one of my favorites.
