Jaci is a college student in California, and is another of the amazing kids I am meeting through the Children's Heart Foundation. She's studying film in school (a girl close to my own heart!) and would like to be an editor when she graduates... what a great career! She had just had surgery for scoliosis, which I learned is not unusual for a pediatric heart patient whose growth patterns are interrupted. She gained two inches in height!
I met Ava and her family through my work with the Children's Heart Foundation. She received a heart transplant a few years ago, she is now a healthy and happy little girl who obviously adores her big brother Blake. Before long, they were racing around and Ava had tackled him, which cracked everyone up.
If you would like to meet some of these children and make a difference in their lives, please join us on February 28 at the Fashion Show Mall for their annual event, Walk with the Heart of a Child. You can get more information by calling 967-3522 or visiting their web site at chfn.org. I'll be there to photograph the event, so make sure to say hello!
Ava's "broken blanket" comes along with her when she has surgeries.
Ava started off feeling a little shy and worried. But she loved twirling in her pretty dress.
Wow! I'm so excited... I just found out that I've won a $1000 gift card from my proofing/website administrator, Big Folio. I'm thrilled... and I'm going shopping!
Thank you so much to all my wonderful clients! Let's celebrate... throughout February, enter the coupon code "contest" when you order prints from your online gallery, and you'll receive 50% off your total order.
You're the best!
Ali is a model who is putting together a portfolio, and since we shot her last session in the studio, we decided to go for a really natural setting this time. While we were shooting, I found out that as beautiful as Ali is, she's also a very outdoorsy girl who can start a fire with a rock and once spent 2 months camping in the forest. Who'd have thought???

1. I am a morning person. Like, really early morning. I feel time's a-wasting if I get up after 6am.
2. I hardly ever watch anything but news and documentaries. Booooring!
3. I always sleep on my belly.
4. I'm really stretchy and can put my foot behind my head.
5. Lemon beats chocolate, every time.
6. I read constantly... the house is littered with my books. I feel slightly panicked if there is not a book handy.
7. I don't know how to post a link, have never figured it out. So I guess there is a small snag in this tagging thing. Someone help me!
Ladies ... if you are looking for a unique and sexy gift for the man in your life, how about a series of portraits designed just for him? Borrow his shirt and tie for your shoot and show him how you look in it. Or maybe a photograph in the outfit he most loves on you? How about a shoot in your bedroom, wrapped in sheets and showing just the amount of skin you want to reveal? You might even want to have a shoot together, as a gift to both of you. Give me a call and let's talk about your ideas. (And guys, how much will she love you if you tell her you want nothing more than photographs of her? Major brownie points!)
Until February 1, Valentine's Day portrait sessions include a $50 print credit!
