Lucy's Birthday at Black Bear Saloon

Since the weather turned out to be pretty bad, a previously scheduled engagement session was postponed. I was invited by Lucy and family to her birthday party at Black Bear Saloon this past Saturday and of course had to bring my camera with me!

Lucy actually turned 39 - I previously posted 40 and - well - I made a mistake! I had a great time, so much so, I only expected to be there a couple hours and ended up staying until about 1:30 in the morning. The band, Full Circle was an awesome cover band, be sure to check out their site.

One of the many shots of Lucy during the evening!



Here you can see what a great time Lucy and her husband Tony-not-Anthony-unless-you-are-my-mom are having!



Lucy with some of her friends after they were doing a little shoe swapping!



Lucy's sister Claudia just looking great as usual!



Lucy didn't have time to introduce me to all of her friends and family, but I did manage to get a group shot in... :)

Actually I didn't realize how big this place was when I first walked in, it's pretty huge.



I had a great time and thanks again for the invite!

Jared James

On Tuesday I had the opportunity to do a session with Jared. He needed some photos for his new website launch which will be happening soon.

The session was mostly a chroma key session - the most ugliest lime green background humanly available. Those who remember the 70's well, I am sure you had a shag carpet that closely resembled the color, just to give you an idea!

He was a regular super-star and I think after the session and reviewing the photos he realized he has a better side :)

Here are a couple from the session.







It was great working with you Jared... Look forward to your upcoming website launch!

Hosting Changes

Folks, the website was down for 14 hours yesterday and I apologize, as a result, I cut loose my existing hosting company and signed up with a different one.

It may take a while for everything to propagate internationally, so please pardon any errors you may receive in the next 24-48 hours as it is out of my control.
