SPCA Pet Walk - Calling all Dogs!

WARNING!! This post is too long and may cause heart palpitations and/or a lack of getting back to work. It is strongly advised that if you have a love of dogs that you proceed with caution!

This past Saturday was the SPCA's annual Pet Walk in Downtown St. Petersburg. It was estimated to attract aver 1000 dogs and their people. We were there with Dig Dog Art in booth 31, meeting and greeting all the canines and observing the great costumes. They came as clowns, sheriffs, jailbirds, ladybugs, angels, bumble bees, and they came showing support for the Rays! It was stimulation overload for them as well as for me. You couldn't turn around with out bumping in to another cute dog!

It wasn't long before they were hot and tired. They found relief in water bowls, in the shade and by laying on mounds of ice.

It was a wonderful Dog day!

All alone in EPCOT!!

In my excitement to visit the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival this weekend, I thought I'd revisit another recent trip to my favorite park of the Disney conglomerate!

I've always been a big believer in continuing education and I'm no different with my photography. In August I attended the Florida Professional Photographers Convention in Orlando. How excited was I when one of the classes offered was a trip into EPCOT to work on portraiture in the outdoor setting... BEFORE the doors even opened!!! Wooo Hooo! I'm in!

It was a photographers and Disney lovers dream. Of course we had professional models that allowed us to focus on technique and camera settings, because they always looked and posed perfectly. Our instructor, Kalen Henderson, was awesome and we learned a lot from her.

Here are some of the shots from the day!

Kevin and Maii

This past weekend, Michael and I attended the wedding of one of our very closest friends, Kevin. Kevin is a very special guy and very near and dear to our hearts, so when he finally found Maii, after several girls that truly didn't appreciate him for how special he is, we were elated!

The wedding took place on the island of Cabbage Key which you get to by boat from Pine Island near Ft. Myers, Fl. It was a simple gathering of fourteen close friends and family members.

Congratulations you two!! We love you dearly!

Baby *L*

Little baby *L* gave her mommy a big surprise coming 10 days early! Her mommy is the Brazilian Beauty, Isabelle, that I had the pleasure of photographing not even a month ago now.

Like mommy like daughter!

Alix

I have to thank you again, Alix, for a wonderfully fun morning last Wednesday! You were so much fun to photograph, I could have done that all day! Good luck with everything!!

Meet Alix!

Oh, to blog again!

I was so happy when the Mac store called to say my computer was fixed early! Yippee!!

Here's one of the sessions I was so excited about sending into cyberspace! I'm sure many of you have heard of Stellie Bellie's, the one and only, AWESOME, in my opinion, children's and maternity consignment store on 4th St. in St. Petersburg?? Well, she has absolutely adorable children, and here they are!
