so after planning each of the images, gathering all the props, & the weather finally cooperating I was finally able to shoot this series of images. I'm really pleased with the results and I even found the perfect model! isn't she just freakin' gorgeous?! she was great to work with and I even decided to name the series after her. :) I'll be posting more images from this series in the days to come. I sure hope you like them!

I wanted to create a tribute to spring photo, sort of help coax it out of hinding maybe but I ended up liking the black and white version so much I wanted to post it somewhere.

I love this photo. :) I think it turned out awesome.
and I really need to cut my hair!! cripes, it's long...

so I finally finished my new website!! after a month of tweeking I think it's finished. well, maybe a couple of minor things but nothing for me to sweat. I've decided to offer some of my images as limited edition prints and I'm working on another photo book to be released soon. I have an awesome shoot with a new model coming up that I'm really excited about plus two client shoots, and I submitted images to a juried show for the first time a couple of weeks ago. should hear soon, fingeres crossed. been so much going on lately it's wonderfully crazy! but tonight.. tonight I'm just gonna chill and go to bed early. TGIF tomorrow!
