Take a look at ANGELIE! She took her prom dress and recreated something funky, fun, artistic, and couture - I LOVED IT! She was great! I had a blast!!! Enjoy!!

My daughter is growing up and I am loving it and hating it all at the same time! We cut her hair tonight in a super-mature-punk-the way mom used to have it- hairstyle! At 10! My mom is going to flip! Heh! I'm still a little rebellious I guess!
How do you let your Rebellion come out?
Ciao Bellas!
{my own version, inspired by here}
Outside my window... the sun is shining through my hibiscus.
I am thinking... about the day my daughter is going to have at soccer camp and how much I am going to miss her in July.
I am thankful for... a father's day weekend that was beautiful and stress free and that on Sunday we were all together happy and enjoying each other's company.
From the kitchen... sausage casserole waiting to be devoured and preparing the menu tonight for the Filet Minot that we got an awesome deal on.
I am wearing... a tank, yoga pants, and flops.
I am creating... a contest for DIY Brides and getting my head around and idea I want to do.
I am going...to organize my magazines today.
I am reading... The Tao of Pooh.
I am hoping... it doesn't get too hot today.
I am hearing ... nothing, and it sounds beautiful.
Around the house... the couch is waiting to go to charity shoppes, the kitchen floor needs to be mopped severely, and all is calm.
One of my favorite things... the way the summer sun wakes me in the morning, casting a soft glow in my bedroom like a warm smile.
A few plans for the rest of the week... to learn to just be, organize the dining room, rearrange the living room, a few photo sessions and various appointments, and lots of snuggles, hugs, and kisses to the girl who's going to be with her grandparents for a month.
What can you say so far about today?

Today's Challenge:
Where can I shoot in this town?
Found, DT T'ville
So I decided to grab the family for some outside shots and use my local area as the back drop. We didn't stay out too long, but long enough to capture some beauties - here are a few!

To those who follow my blog, you know this is a personal space for me as well as where I share my work as my work is personal to me. But just like you may work in a career or a job, so do I.
I have challenges everyday and in running a business outside of creating and capturing, the challenges I speak of are much different than you think.
It is up to me to become better than I was the time before, to exceed my own expetactions, to do better and be better, and to create something that REALLY speaks to me as well as my clients.
That challenge is harder than any other aspect of running a business. A business is logical, my work is emotional - it is a record and a moment captured in the digital frame of my camera for you to have as a memory forever - and that is hard and so rewarding.
I'm writing this because I've been introduced to a photographer who is simply amazing. He is challenging me from my website to my work to work harder and produce images that are an expression of not just me but of who you are. I am challenging myself to go further and do more.
This is a promise; a hold my breathe, close my eyes, and jump kinda promise.

What does that mean?
In the next coming months leading up to the new year our studio will be phasing into a completely paperless (documents) office, our clients will see an increase in reusable media for their images, and we will be using a percentage of dedicated power from Wind and Solar energy.
Next month we hope to have a breakdown of what we are currently doing to expose ourselves to better environmental acts and we will also have an environmental impact statement that will be available online.
Yes, the current trend is to be a GREEN company. And we've been a green company and household for the past 15 years, but technology has made it easier for us to increase the green in our home and business. We are also responding to our own values as consumers and want to be an example to others.
It isn't JUST about recycling and not wasting, it is also about being responsible for the condition this planet for the future because I want our children to have children who love the world we left them.

I wanna this house
...
Or at least to make my house look like this house. Isn't it dreamy? Well, not to all - but to me I am a sucker for modernism. I love clean lines and sharp edges, though you wouldn't know it being a guest in my house :) I have vintage beauties all over. I guess old habits die hard, but if I had a million bucks, my house would be so mod-fab oh yes dahlings. Perhaps when we move back to London and Bethnal Green (pronounced Befnal Green - thanks Robin).
Wanna see more, ya I know I did too :)

First off let me say that I met some of the most fantastic brides yesterday, THANK YOU ALL FOR STOPPING BY MY BOOTH! MUAH!!
Now on to the celebrity sitings. First I met Damon Tucci, he is a rockstar photographer. Seriously. Ok Ok he's not a "real" celebrity, but he is in my eyes. I think he heard me gawking about him as he was walking booth to booth taking pictures. He was a huge sponsor yesterday for the event and sponsored a bridal lounge in the reception area of the Sun Ballroom at Gaylord Palms. I got a sneakpeak of it and I was blown away. He came over, after I gawked at him and pointed and squealed a little to my husband - "psst... that's him, that's Damon Tucci!" I said like a school girl. He was so nice and kind, I didn't ask for an autograph but I was totally fumbling all over myself. Swoon.
Second celebrity siting. Jason and Sarah from Concept Photography. I had walked over to see them a few times, but didn't get the opportunity to throw myself at them. I had sent them both a comment a long long long time ago on their blog and got a response back, but my reaction was more yea right, like they would even want to talk to me. Well, Jason totally came over and talked to me. Thank GAWD the lighting was low because I was a complete strawberry, blushing. He and his wife are awesome, so sweet and adorable. Yay!
But, I would like to give a special shoutout to all those brides out there who were so excited to see me and for me to see them! It was amazing. I met with the best women and their fiances. I had the best time. I will post a picture of my booth later, but I went so simple that I was afraid no one would care to speak to me. I was so wrong and so glad about it!
I'm doing my final event of this year, yep even though it is only halfway over, this Saturday at Creative Wedding Designs in Orlando from 5 - 9pm. Come out and check out this place. It is going to be AMAZAZING! I can't wait!!
