Adventures with Simone and her Scottie pup

 

Charlotte, a sweet little Scottie puppy is new to her family and her surroundings. She is always eager to explore new areas with her best friend Simone. 

Upon researching the history of Scotties, I discovered from Wikipedia that Scottish terriers were originally bred to hunt and kill vermin in the Highlands of Scotland. --- First written records dates from 1436.

With that inspiration in mind, we ventured down to the shores loaded with a treasure map. Charlotte and Simone found a chest and a swing. What an adventure! This blooming bond was sooo cute to document. 

Portrait of my Baby Sister

 

My baby sister is a junior in high school, almost ready to go off to college. Tear...She is recently expressed interest in modeling, so we planned a few shoots. First off is a lifestyle shoot we photographed with her best friend, coming soon! I took these images on Xmas eve in my backyard. I love her energy, always down to shoot. She has really blossomed into a beautiful young lady. Very proud big sis. Love u Syd. 

Creepy Elevator

 

This time of the year, I always like to dig up my archives or shoot something mysterious. I absolutely love Halloween. I am especially freaked out about really old elevators, the kind where you feel claustrophobic and don't know if they're functioning or not. Last summer I was in New York with Brooke Shaden filming The Concept and for her concept she used this elevator for her location. After her shoot, we each took a turn shooting in the elevator and for some of my images I used a tilt shift lens. Brooke is a very inspirational woman and it's always so much fun to meet up with her. Have a safe Halloween everyone!!!
