Photo Shoot # 2

I had the privilege on Sunday afternoon of taking pictures for my good friend Liz's daughter, Tanya and her boyfriend, Trevor. They are expecting a baby boy on May 25. These are a few of my favorites.

First Family Photo Shoot Part II

My first family photo shoot went exceptionally well (all things considered). This family was just so precious and so patient with me. I meet with Brandi today to show her the pictures and am praying that she will be pleased with the results.

First Family Photo Shoot

I'm so excited to have the opportunity this Sunday afternoon to do a photo shoot of a family here in town. We will be taking pictures in the City Park and at the Golf Course. Praying that they will be happy with the results.

First Wee Ball Game - Gooo Bravesss!!!!

Spring Training

We traveled to Lakeland on Monday for the Braves/Tiger Spring Training game. It was a beautiful day for baseball. It's always a joy watching David at a game. The boy could seriously eat, drink, and breathe baseball.

Spring Photo Shoot with Angela

On Saturday Angela and I drove over to West Palm Beach to do a photo shoot. I have been begging for months to do one with her and she finally relented. I loved the outcome! Now if I can talk David into doing one!

FLW 2010

Watched the sunrise this morning over Lake O and the FLW fishermen begin the tournament. It was chilly out and my hands were numb after taking pictures, but it was well worth it.

Published

Back in November I opened a Flickr account to store photos in case my computer every crashed. I didn't go to the trouble of making any of the pictures private. At the end of December I received the following email on my flickr account. . .

I am writing to let you know that one of your photos has been short-listed for inclusion in the tenth edition of our Schmap Fort Myers Guide, to be published late January 2010.

i) See which of your photos has been short-listed.

I responded giving them the permission and was in awe that it might be used for their guide. I haven't heard back from Emma, but this afternoon on a whim I decided to google the Schmap Guides for Ft. Myers just to see if they had actually used the photo. To my delight it was there. I am still in awe that one of my photos is actually being used for promotion of one of the places I visited.

You can check out the photo at Schmap Guides. Then click on Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve. In the upper right hand corner of the page is a slide show of photos of the Preserve. Click the right arrow and it is about the 16th picture.

Cherokee Park

While we were visiting family up in Georgia during the Christmas holidays we went to Cherokee Park in Thomasville to take some photos. I wish now that I had taken the time to grab the tripod. Here are just a few of my favorites from the day.
