Two weeks ago I had a BLAST photographing the Herrera/Cortez families!  This extended family is a tight group and it is easy to see how much they love one another!

Here’s the entire group!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I thought I’d publish a mini post   Sofie (my dog) I am home in Atlanta visiting my family for Thanksgiving.  We have taken a few photos with the family, but some of my favorites are from the family dogs

Sofie (all the way from Idaho) with our good family friend Lucielle:

My dad’s dog, Tootsie:

Christine Gelb is a GREAT friend.  She had a GREAT idea for a birthday present for not one, but TWO of her close friends this month!  She hired me to photograph their dogs!  She borrowed her friend Lydia’s dog, Betty and other friend, Cameron’s dog, Farris for a lunchtime photoshoot!  I think this was such a great gift idea and soo incredibly nice of Ms. Gelb (also, both dogs were soo sweet), I just HAD to share!

Betty:

Farris:

I LOVE my dog, Sofie.  She goes wherever I go, which includes skiing!  I moved to Idaho three years ago, having only skied once as a child.   Moving to a ski resort town from the deep south was quite a challenge!  I have, however embraced skate skiing over the past two years, and am very much looking forward to this winter’s ski season!  Sofie and I received our nordic trail passes last week and are ready to go, all we need is snow!

Two weekends ago I had fun photographing the Tempest Family.  Carly and Bryan have the cutest kids and nicest parents!  Here’s a few from the photoshoot:

Ciao everyone!  As you read this, I am either boarding a plane or in the air, or…either way, I’m en-route to Italy for the EICMA tradeshow in Milano!  I am returning Sunday, November 15th…  Don’t fret, however, as you will still see blog posts, as I plan to edit photos on the long plane ride(s) on my way!  The past few times I’ve been to Italy I haven’t really taken many photos   HOWEVER, this time I’m bringing my camera arsenal, and will have something to show upon my return!  In honor of my trip, I have decided to blog a few photos from the FIRST time I visited Italy during the summer of 2000.  This was when I was first starting to really get into photography and was shooting with a FILM Canon Rebel camera…enjoy!

This shot is taken from my apartment in Montepulciano, Italy…my neighbor would often just pass out in the sunlight, for several hours…he was really sweet!

This shot, also taken in Montepulciano, is one of my favorites…

Ahhh…the CLASSIC gondola shot in Venice!

Another shot of Venice…

And finally, a self-portrait of myself…yes…quite embarassing, but why not?

Last month I had the pleasure of photographing miss Jaidyn, and this past weekend I had a great weekend photographing the entire Robertson family!  Ashley, Josh, Kenzie and Jaidyn are all soo photogenic and so great to be around!  I can’t wait to see them again

Meet Mom+Dad, aren’t they beautiful!?!

Here’s miss Kenzie, suuper cute!

Here’s Mom with little Luv Bug Jaidyn:

Last week I posted some photos from Ashley and Alex’s engagement photoshoot.  Now you can see them all by click on their slideshow link.

Enjoy!
