52 weeks 1 and 2

January 12, 2011
One of the Challenges to myself this year is this 52 week project. Many of you will know that my husband and I are also photographers. You can see more of our work at www.journeyphotography.com . So basically the project is a new self portrait every week and each week there are themes associated with it. This is a great challenge and has already helped me start getting out of my creative rut and start thinking out of the box again. Here are my first two weeks. I'll continue to post the rest on here week by week to share with you.

Week 1 theme "Resolutions" featuring dress by Lauren Rossi


Week 2 theme "Home Sweet Home"

Great shoot with PBS 11/11/10

November 14, 2010
Had a great shoot this week with WJCT, Jacksonville's local PBS station. We shot a pledge break that will air during the airing of  Tommy Emmanuel, a master guitar player of the finger picking style. My co-host Gary was fun and witty and really made the break easy to film. Its all adlib so sometimes it can be easy to flub up, but this time was the smoothest yet. This was my 4th pledge break filming and I've done about 10 of the live auctions. I've always enjoyed filming with PBS. Not just bec...

Belated Post. Images from American Baby Magazine

October 20, 2010
Apologies for the delay. Here are the images from the American Baby Magazine I booked back in January. At 8 months preggo I was feeling huge. Nothing like an editorial booking to make you feel back on your game. Surprise of all surprises, we managed to get the cover as well. Thank you to my agency in NYC, Expecting Models for the booking.









I am happy to say that now, 9 months later with a happy baby girl. I am down over 40 lbs. So happy to get back to my normal size again. I've been training wi...

Blonde Hair?

December 26, 2009
So, being in my 3rd trimester and waiting around for this baby to come has been interesting... lots of thinking time;) Losing myself slowly to the "Motherhood" ship can be fun, but sometimes you just want to be yourself again. I've been itching to get a makeover. A new color, a new cut perhaps? I went online and found some online makeover sites;) 

Here I am with Blonde Hair;) I'm going to wait til little Sienna comes though before I make any big decisions about changing my look. Not sure if ts...
