Last November I was asked to photograph my first cover shoot for Parenting Magazine that published last month.      We shot this at Orange Studios and had a blast working with the crew from Bonnier.

Its not every day that I get to meet and photograph someone as talented as Lauren Bradshaw, owner of Walnut Animal Society – a collection of stuffed animals that are truly one of a kind and masterfully crafted by hand.   Thats right,  she hand makes these dolls one at a time, right here in Orlando Fl.. USA.   For more info on the gang check them out on the web.

Society members:

Chester the Raccoon

Henry the Fox

Ruthie the Deer

Magnolia the Bunny

Eleanor the Bear

Last month I was asked to photograph good friend and colleague Heather Reneau’s baby shower.    I have the pleasure to work with Heather @ Playground magazine on some pretty fun and crazy editorial shoots.      My task on this assignment was simple and straight forward – capture details and a few portraits.     The event was held at Citrus Restaurant Downtown Orlando.      The theme was Alice in Wonderland and we actually had a very mad hatter!    An array of sweets filled the room and colors throughout all the details.        Make sure to pick up a copy of the current Playground issue.

Hard to believe this is the third consecutive year I’ve photographed the Woodwards family holiday portrait.     This time around we shot at Casa Feliz in Winter Park.     We had a nice cool overcast day to work with..  my favorite for natural lighting.

I was asked to photograph my long time friend Charity’s brand new baby Piper and lovely family.      Thanks for having me come do this.
