dog days...

taking pictures of children can be very entertaining... add dogs to the mix and you have a recipe for a party.  it was so amusing to try to get both children and dogs to look at me.  I mean, I do speak an entirely different language to the dogs, and the kids... well, I've found that if I let them take pictures with my camera, they will pose for me... at least once :)















pretty in pink.

I have had the pleasure of photographing this family for the past 3 years.  this year we ventured from the norm and took some photos on the beach.  these two little girls had so much fun running on the shore, it was hard not to join in!

a biker's paradise...



living in downtown St. Augustine has its perks.  you are within walking distance to about any location and there is always something entertaining happening - a wedding, ghost tours, pirates walking around, and horse drawn carriages.  a past client of mine recently opened a bike rental shop... located in the heart of St. Augustine across from Flagler College.  riding bikes or scooters provides an ideal experience, as you can see all of historic downtown and still make it over to the beaches in one afternoon.  if you come to visit us in the nation's Oldest City, be sure to stop in to see him.















other than behind a camera, one of my other favorite places to be is the gym.  so why not start off the new year with a little photos from my favorite gym in St. Augustine - World Gym. with 2 locations that are open 24 hours, this gym can accommodate any schedule.
