Month: February, 2010
Last Saturday I worked with a beautiful couple on their Winter Wedding Day. Here is a little “teaser” … there will be so much more to come over the next couple of weeks.
Oh, and you should all check out her radio show on Saturday + Sundays at WGRD 97.9- and become a Fan of hers on Facebook. She is a very beautiful and cool person to know.

On another note: I have been crazy busy with Online Editing Lessons this winter and loving it. I am currently working with 5 students and am welcoming more.

Have a great day!!!
Images in Fun Places
February 7, 2010 Published Work
Recently some of my photography work has been added to some pretty cool places. I just want to take a minute and share some of it with you.
-
The first image is of the very beautiful and talented Pearl Aday (Meatloaf’s daughter). This photo is featured on the front page of her website. I absolutely love Pearl and am thrilled to have one of my pictures there. It was taken at an evening performance on the island of Aruba last October. She is accompanied by, Scott Ian, the terribly talented Anthrax guitarist (and her significant other). They put on a killer show.
- Some of you may also remember this image of my niece, Melanie. It was taken a couple of years ago but was recently given to Mid Valley Mentors of Salem, Oregon to help with fundraising charitable promotions. Currently, this image accompanies a slide show that plays in between movies at the movie theatre in Salem for the Mid Valley Mentors. Text of the slide show mainly highlights shocking statistics and points out “the power of one” to help. It reaches out to the community and asks for help for kids who are in less than ideal situations.
The director contacted me to create some compelling portraits in order to attract attention to the establishment. I did also create half a dozen new images for them last month. The web site is newly launched and will be adding my images to it in the near future. If you are an Oregon resident, consider donating or giving time to such a great cause. - Wesley Berry Flowers, located in SE Michigan, really creates beautiful flower arrangements and bouquets for weddings. They contacted me for a few photos I had taken of their products to use in upcoming print advertisements. Keep an eye out for it.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great Sunday everyone.
