St. Petersburg Photo Walk

On Saturday August 23rd over 8000 photographers all over the world went out in their selective cities to shoot together. I was part of over 50 of us here in St. Petersburg, Fl. I have to thank a great photographer and instructor, Chuck Vosburgh for organizing the walk. If you're thinking of getting into digital photography or need to better your Photoshop skills, I highly reccomend looking into one of Chuck's classes at the Arts Center in St. Petersburg.

Here are three of my favorites from the day!

School Days

It's seemed like a long summer, but it's finally come to and end and school is in session once again. My little girl is a big girl now and started Kindergarten. It was so sweet to see her get ready for her 'Big day'. As an involved family, we have all been at the school often these past two years, since our son began Kindergarten. So needless to say our daughter had quite the different experience her first day. No new school jitters for her, she owned the place, or she'd like to think she did.

You can see here how much she looks up to her older brother and regardless of the fighting they do, they love each other so much!

*RJ*

I wanted to get little RJ's sneak peek up before I head out of town with my little girlie for the weekend.

This little guy is three months old and such a love. Like most babies, he loved to be naked and I was so surprised when he went the entire 90 min session with no tinkle accidents. I believe that's a first for me photographing a baby boy. RJ and his mommy Nettie were both a pleasure and quite the lookers too! See you both again when he's crawling!

Thank you!

Ybor and the Flickr Chicks!

I'm in a group on Flickr called The Florida Flickr Chicks. We are a group of professional photographers in Florida who have joined together in a networking environment to support each other. We put together a local meet-up and three of us went out to Ybor to photograph each others children. Christie and Courtney, it was such a pleasure to finally meet you and your little ones in person and put faces to names.

Annalise

Annalise was born to Haleh and Mike on February 6! What a sweet little girlie she is and such a pleasure to photograph. Riley, who you'll see below in his boxing gloves, is the proud big brother! They have all just moved into the most beautiful new home with an absolutely amazing backyard! It came complete with a pool and it's own fort too!
Thank you Haleh and Mike for taking time away from organizing your new home to allow me capture the sweetness of your new little girl! Enjoy the sneak peak at some of my favorites from the session!

Horse and Jockey

I once read somewhere that The Horse and Jockey, in South Pasadena, is a little piece of England in America. I enjoyed my first evening here on the night of August 1st. Our good friends Lea and Emma had a gathering of mates to celebrate them becoming the new owners. They have been frequenting the English Pub for five years now and are very excited about their new venture.

Horse and Jockey

Lea is ready to pour you a pint!

Emma and her mum Elaine!

It was a gathering of friends and regulars and there were many tales to be told. I had the pleasure of being told some of these tales and now I'm going to share them with you.

Meet Greg (a pilot from Maylaysia) and Ted (a local)! These two gentleman met here tonight at the pub . Greg was in town visiting his mom and was driving through the parking lot yesterday and spotted Ted and his fantastic cowboy boots. This inspired Ted to run out that day and buy a pair of boots himself. Yes, really! They then ran into each other at the pub the following night and I was there to document it. So here is Greg and Ted and their boots!

Greg!

Ted!

Wendi and I! Cheers matey!

This is Craig and Dickey with Lea at the end of the night. Craig and Dickey were a surprise! They had just coached my kids at the Eckerd College Soccer Camp a few weeks ago and here they were at the pub.

Another great story. This is Molly! She is 98! Yes, 98! And a spitfire. She pulled me over and told me that she never drinks and she had just enjoyed a glass of bubbly (giggle) and that she may need a hand or two to walk her out later. She was beautiful and such a delight!

At the end of the night, I was able to pull Lea and Emma together for a snap. They're so adorable and such great people, this place is going to Rock!
