Schedule for Winter/Spring 2012

Summer flew by and now it's mid Oct! Sessions are in full swing despite this crazy weather we're having! I wanted to let past clients and future potential clients know that I am now booking for January onwards...(I MIGHT have a couple of mid Dec spots open if anyone is interested)

A couple of personal shots: My friend, Amanda and I went bug hunting in the summer, we didn't find much in the way of bugs on that particular day but we were fortunate enough to have a very-in-the-mood-to-be-photographed April with us! Funnily enough, a few days later right outside my door in an empty lot I found these 2 butterflies mating. Pretty cool...

It was def. my summer for macro bugs! There's this posting here and one more coming!
There will also be a session fee increase, this will go into affect Jan 2012 and will not effect currently booked clients even if the website reflects the new prices! Thank you for your support x
(or is it effect then affect or both affect or both effect, agghhh, I struggle with this one!)

Rockin' bod by Shelly

Shelly was off to Las Vegas back in the summer to enter the massive Physique competition. She contacted me to do the shoot for her pre-show, showing off all the hard work in a beautiful natural setting...So off we went to the beach!

There was a typhoon in the area so the waves were up and when I saw them splashing against the rocks I had to get that shot! And, of course, Shelly is up for anything! She's built tough!

I know she also likes B&W...

I love the 'mood' of this one!

Hanging in the caves on a weekend morning and we were the only ones there, which is amazing, this is a popular photographer spot! I think being that the weather was saying pre-typhoon, it put people off. Yay, the caves all to ourselves!

We had a great time! Shelly is a great person inside and out!

Thank you Shelly for the shoot and the laughs during it! We should play shuffleboard again one of these days! I hope you had a fantastic time in the USA!

I Heart Faces - Pink



and purple and blue! I love this pic of friend and fellow photographer, Amanda and daughter from their session. To see more pink head on over to I heart faces!
The tickled pink theme is in honour of Breast cancer awareness. To all those that are in the fight or know someone in the fight or have lost someone, I wish you strength, hope, peace. and LOVE.

Laughs? Yeah, we had a few!

Just another day of work in Okinawa!

This was such a cool shoot, I love it when we can just have a laugh and get some more traditional shots...and just relax!

Amanda (My heroes are my parents for all they do for me) and Nathan (I enjoy computer games and making digital animated videos) were in Okinawa visiting Dad for the summer...They are eighth grade and ninth grade (respectively) students at Bowie Middle School, Austin, TX.

After a while of shooting and getting comfortable you get all kinds of magic happening!

Amanda's fav food is "without a doubt, spagetti and meatballs!", Whilst Bruv Nathan "is a vegetarian and willing to try almost anything once" He also plays the tuba in the school marching band!

The Stuart kids were great subjects!

Showing some sibling love!

Had to share this portrait of Amanda...such a gorgeous young lady! She has her head screwed on right too...The best thing in the world to me is people. I love being with friends and family. Her most desired place to go is Italy, "because it sounds so beautiful and I just love the food!"
(I'll come with you Amanda!)

I asked the Stuart Family what their fav part about the shoot was:
Amanda: "My fav thing about the shoot was being in the spotlight and feeling super pretty! I love to be the center of attention!"
Nathan: "Taking nice formal pictures as a family with my Dad. We had never been to toguchi beach before and we came back to snorkel!"
Scott: "being with the kids and taking these priceless family pictures. Thank you, Pam!"

Scott and kids, it was a pleasure to 'shoot' you!

I Heart Faces - Raise your hands



This was the first photo I thought of when thinking of hands. This was back on my first Space A trip to Singapore. I see these hands as pensive hands, lived in hands, working hands, praying hands, loving hands! Shot with the nifty fifty. Love it!
