Confidence - getting Racey with Miss R

The other day I photographed my first boudoir session. Funny to be in business this long and not to have done one but it hasn't been on my agenda. When Miss R saw some photos that we did from her friends wedding she decided to give me a call. I let her know that this was a new experience for me and if she trusted me I would give her some tastefully sexy photos. She was up for the challenge and I believe that we got some great photos that fullfill my original intent. I'm sure her boyfriend is going to love his valentines day gift :)

Thanks for calling me Miss R. The shoot was alot of fun and I thank you for your patience with me and my inexperience in this area. I am really honored that you decided choose me to photograph this intimate session.

Santa Claus is coming to town :)

On Saturday I had fun taking pics of kids sitting on Santa's knee. The TopCo Kids Christmas party went well and I got alot of great expressions from crying babes who didn't like the strange man in red to the kids who adored Santa and couldn't keep from hugging him.
I'm getting ready to do a shoot at Eastglen High School to help put together their school brochure. I'm sure it will be an interesting shoot - I'm glad I will have Omari with me to get these teens smiling :)

Congratulations to Tanya and Mike!!

They are the lucky 100th couple that have booked with us. As we (Creations) are making their final payment, they happily bumped up their package to one that has everything that she would want ;) Stay tuned in to see their pics as the wedding is not even far away - it's in March 2008.

How exciting that we made it to our 100th booking before 2008! I feel so blessed to have all these wonderful couples to work with. Thank you to all who have put their faith in us. I LOVE my job!!
