If you haven't yet...

Please add my blog over at siren.org to your RSS feeds.

I unfortunately don't have much time to read LJ since work is so busy, and am going to continue blogging over there. From time to time I will probably make some posts here, and I do hope to check in on my LJ friends' entries at least every month, but I do want to make sure everyone knows where I can be found.

I have made a bit of a friends cut just to keep better control on who is able to read my LJ archives. If I cut you, it doesn't mean that I don't like you! However, especially now that what I'm posting is public, it can be accessed by anyone by visiting my web site.

You can also contact me by adding me on Facebook. If I don't know your real name, please just note your LJ name when you add me, so I can make sure to add you back. :)

I have a new blog.

I'll still post here on LJ, I'm sure, and I'm going to try to get my siren blog entries to post over here, but in the mean time, add this new blog to your RSS feeds: www.siren.org

February/March New Booking SPECIAL

If you are getting married in February or March or know someone who is, I have a VERY special deal!

I am offering up to 7 hours of photography at the rate of only $2,750. This includes two photographers, an online gallery, and the high-resolution files on DVD.

This is a HUGE savings of $1,200 off our normal a la carte pricing for the same amount of photography and digital negatives.

If you know anyone looking for a photographer at a great cost during these two months, please direct them to me and have them call me right away. I can be reached easily by cell phone at 954-993-4961.

To obtain this special rate, the booking fee is due in full with your signed contract.

As always, if any of my current wonderful clients refer a friend to me who books, I'll give you and your friend a VERY special gift as well.... :)

This special is only available to new reservations. There are limited dates available, so don't wait!

Launch Day!

Adrian and I are heading up to Kennedy Space Center this morning to see the launch of STS-122 - the Shuttle Atlantis, which will occur at 4:30pm. We are really looking forward to it, and my parents will be joining us, too. It should be really exciting. The weather looks great, so hopefully everything will go as planned...

I've been making some great updates to my Photo Journal at The Wedding Couple. If you have an RSS reader, please take a moment to add my blog. Some fun photo posts have been made in the past few weeks, and lots more are coming soon. Please check it out!

Shuttle Launch

Adrian and I just bought tickets to see the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-122) from the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex!!! We have been wanting to do this for years, and tickets usually sell out immediately, so it's pretty awesome that we got them... I am so excited! The launch is on December 6th, and we got the package where you watch the launch and then get to eat dinner with an astronaut. This is going to be a great experience!

ETA: Adrian made a Google Map showing where we view the launches from. Pretty cool!

Lindsay & Pete: Engaged!

Adrian and I shot Lindsay & Pete's engagement session last weekend in Coconut Grove! We had so much fun walking all over the Coco Walk area with them. They are ridiculously cute, adorably quirky, and above all, absolutely perfect for each other. It was so obvious to us how much they love each other, and we are incredibly excited to be shooting their wedding next July!

Here are a few highlights:

Cut

I just made a fairly significant friends cut, not because I don't like any of you, but because I simply could not handle reading 203 journals. Now it's a little bit better. All in all, as you know, I haven't been making many friends-only entries anyway, so you're not missing much. :)

Fine Art Photos - Etsy Shop

Some of you have previously inquired about purchasing my fine art photography before, so I've decided to create a shop on Etsy where I can sell my prints. I also will have a few of Adrian's beautiful images for sale, as well.

All photographs are printed on professional Kodak Endura paper, mounted on matboard, and signed by the artist.

More coming soon. If there's anything in my flickr stream that you've ever seen and could imagine hanging in your house, please do let me know!

Click here for my Etsy Shop!
