Anthony + Kristen's Beachside Wedding | Daytona Beach Photographer

What a beautiful November day it was for a wedding, in Wilbur by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, Florida. Anthony and Kristen, it was a great joy to be able to share your special day with you. Also check out Anthony + Kristen's Wedding Slideshow.

The wedding was full of great shoes. From the kickin' royal blue suede pumps that the groom's mom wore, to the gorgeous mega-heeled sandals, worn by a bridesmaid. But my favs of the day were the bride's glittery silver sandals.

Family Holiday Photo Session | Sanford Florida Family Photographer

I recently had the pleasure and honor of photographing my brother, his wife (who is expecting their second child -- a girl!), and my nephew, just in time for the holiday season! Thought I would share a little slide show from the session with everyone.

Now Booking 2011 Holiday Greeting Card Mini Sessions | Lake Mary Florida Portrait Photographer

I am now booking limited Holiday Mini Photo Sessions for the 2011 season. What is a Mini Session? It's a shorter photo session, geared towards getting you and your family some images that are perfect for those end of year gift and holiday greeting cards.

September, October, and the early part of November are the time to start planning for, and wrapping up, these end of the year photography sessions, to make sure you have your photographs before the holidays.

I will only have a limited number of slots available for 2011, so book early to ensure your spot, or feel free to contact me for additional information.

Be sure to check out this year's Holiday Greeting Card designs – they are fabulous! I offer two styles, a 4 x 8 flat holiday greeting card, and a 5 x 7 folded holiday greeting card.

Brewster & Bell | Winter Park Florida Pet Photographer

Brewster and Bella. They looked a lot alike, which I soon found out was because they were brother and sister English Bulldogs. And, what a cute and calm pair they were too. I never realized how strong bulldogs could be either. They have short legs and very stocky bodies, with the majority of the strength appearing to be in the upper half of their body. And, of course, they both had massive heads! But, they were so gentle and sweet!

Fun with QR Codes

So, I was recently reading a message board thread where other photographers and wedding service providers were talking extensively about the use of QR codes in their advertising. I have seen QR codes before, but hadn't really paid much attention to them. Then a few days later, a fellow photographer submitted a copy of his newly redesigned business card, which contained, oddly enough, a QR code on the back of it, to a professional forum that I belong too, for critique by members.

Well, seeing this got me curious as to what the QR code thing is all about. A QR code is a "Quick Response" two dimensional bar code that can be scanned and read at a high rate of speed on most smart phones, with the appropriate "app," of course. Different types of information can be stored within the code, such as special offers, business card information, websites, brochures, packaging information, social media, and other advertising and marketing information.

Posing Workshop | Orlando Area Engagement Photographer

This past week, I had the privilege of participating in a photography posing workshop, given by Orlando based wedding photographer Misty Miotto. I learned a lot of new techniques and it was great getting to see how Misty interacted with her clients one-on-one. A big thank you to our host, South Orlando PUG (Pictage User Group), Misty, and our beautiful couple, Jason and Susie. Below are a few of my favorite shots from the day.
