There are things that I will photograph and won't and I normally don't do pageants, but Brandee and Starkydz is amazing and I was honored to do stage shots yesterday.  Here is a group shot from Starkydz "Odyssea" pageant.

Love is in the Air -- Kyle and Brittany Engagement

Today is my daughter Samantha's 26th birthday!   I was 26 years old when I gave birth to her and it changed my life forever.  I never thought that I could feel such love for another human being but most importantly, she taught me how to love!  This image was from 2010 and I love it because you loved New York so much when we visited family there.  Now you have a family of your own and I could not be prouder. Happy birthday!

Leave

Do you ever feel like leaving?  Leaving like everything and everyone and just escape from life for awhile.  Sometimes the walls just come tumbling down around you and you choke on the dust of oppression weighing you down.  It is like trying to catch a ball that keeps coming at you until finally, it hits you head on and you drop to the ground.  You try and pick yourself up but you are physically unable to because of how hard you've been hit emotionally.  This has been my year and I want to just leave sometimes and reinvent myself, maybe life will be kinder.
