Ekaterina - A Russian Beauty

Ekaterina came to my studio for some personal photographs to commemorate a very special birthday...After much careful planning and collaborating, we came up with some beautifully soulful and even some playful images depicting her warm and fun-loving spirit. Thank you Katia, for allowing me to portray you during this special time of life.

The Setting...

Lots of my friends and networking connections inquired about the Art work in the Main Suite for the Open House...as many of you know, I had an Art Gallery and Studio in the Village of the Arts prior to moving to Saint Petersburg, and the art on display was some of my virtual paintings and mixed medium pieces. I'm glad you enjoyed them. Here are a few images of the beautiful decorating Lisa from Exquisite Events (727-224-1471) and Karlyn from Island Lawn and Bamboo Garden (727-548-0595) provided for us. I can't recommend these ladies enough - they were top notch!

Housh, Tammy and Tom try to cut that ribbon!

Oh, my friends are terrific! Fellow Networking friends (FNI and others), Pinellas Park Chamber friends, and St. Petersburg Chamber all got together for a rockin' good time! Special thanks to everyone who pulled it together with me. Lisa Mohyle (Exquisite Events), Karlyn Bradshaw (Island Lawn and Bamboo Garden), Alexa Berk (my beautiful daughter) and Ryan Mauck (Sunshine Group Properties) were all irreplaceable! Aaron Wilkinson (St. Pete Tech) was the entertainer, and everyone loved him!

My heartfelt thanks to every one of you who helped to spread the word, gather door prizes, coordinate and even clean up! Love you guys and gals!

Kayla - One Lovely Senior!

Kayla and I went to the beautiful beach for her first Senior Session - and what a beautiful girl! We had fun (albeit a bit windy that day), and have a great start to her Memories of a Lifetime!

Thanks Kayla, and Debi.
