Sneak Peak

Hi "A". I know you've been waiting for this! *wink, wink* Did you happen to notice the one in my banner (above)?
I had such a great time at our session. Thank you for trusting my vision. To bad we got rained out. But looking forward to Thursday!

More to come later. ;)

Oh, Oh Look what I found!!

You don't know how long I have been looking for one of these chairs. Well some of you do. He He! I've searched just about every Salvation Army in the greater Central Florida area trying to find a wood chair that was once painted white and is now peeling. I have this vision in my head of a child in this chair and that vision must be fulfilled. *smile* Do, I dare pay what Anthropolgie is selling it for?! I just don't know if I should let this one get away.

Chair, sofas....

So, most of you who know me know I *LOVE* to use unique chairs during my sessions. Heck, I love to use sofas, hutches, and any other unique furniture I can find. Although I must say since most of my sessions are on location, chairs seem to be a favorite staple as they are the easiest to *lug* around. lol
I am always looking for new (or even old) furniture to incorporate into my sessions. I have two that I can bring along, but I also encourage, you~my friends, to load up that truck/suv with your favorite chair. Here are some examples of work I've done using furiture.









So, in my quest to find unique chairs, I stumbled across Anthropologie's site.
I must say, I am in love with these chairs. Just look at them. LOL

HATS!

If you are a client of mine you have probably heard me tell you to bring hats with you to your session (for your child/baby). Well, I have found the perfect hat. Check these out:
HATS
They are hip, trendy, and just plain fun!
Oh and if you purchase one and bring it to your session, I'll have something special for you!

My Images on a Van

Some of you may recognize these ladies. I photographed the ladies you see pictured on the van. What a fun opportunity and now to see it completed...I am amazed. If you see this vehicle around the Tampa Bay area give a *HONK HONK* for me!! :)
I've also posted some of the original photos so you can see.
