Entries from October 2008
Thought I’d come out from under my mushroom and send out a quick post! It’s been an extremely busy month (but lots of fun photog. assignments), so I haven’t had time for blogging. One of my projects this months has been a portrait session for a gentleman retiring after 30 years of service with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. Congratulations Mike!
This one’s going out on their Christmas cards:

Decided to get a little creative and see how it would look with his badge in the background…

Another was a family portrait session at the beach. Rock and Sharon will soon be celebrating 30 years of marriage! They do NOT look old enough for that to me! Their daughters got the family together for a fun portrait session at the beach. Here they are with their adorable grandkids.

Congratulations Rock & Sharon! May you be blessed with many more years together
Love & Blessings,

I forgot to include this article in The St. Augustine Record (or click here) that Angie had hanging on the wall in her exhibit (see previous blog entry).
The trip to Niagara Falls she refers to was with me. When Ryley was only 4 weeks old, Angie went with me to help me on the plane trip so my family could meet Ryley for the first time. She was a huge blessing, because I had no idea what I was doing! I remember her taking that photograph while we were there! I thought that was pretty neat. Also, the little angel she refers to was my niece Makaila who is also the image on my blog banner & business card that you all are so familiar with. It’s fun when you get to see how your life can have an impact on someone else!! God is good
Love & blessings,

Finally! A chance to write an October post. Time sure flies.
Last month I blogged about Angie’s upcoming exhibit at the Energy Lab Art Gallery in St. Augustine. It was awesome! She had a great turn out and people raved about her work. She also sold several of her pieces. Congratulations Angie! You deserve it
We managed to get her alone for a few minutes and captured some images for her ….
Here are a couple of them…

Isn’t Angie gorgeous!? Her beauty is form the inside out. You can see some of her awesome artwork in the background. Most of them are from her missions trips.

Ryley’s thinking, how can I get loose so I can run around this place!?
Love & blessings,
