P.S. - My photo to the right updates everytime you refresh the page. While some of these photos may not be the most flattering of me, they are all many faces of me. Sometimes I'm serious, but for the most part, I'm a goofball! So feel free to laugh at my expense!! :-)

    Key West is Super Fabulous!

    Every year for the weekend of my birthday, I try to just take some time and get away from the world. This year, I headed to the Southern most point of the continental United States to Key West. I love the Keys! I don't think I could ever get enough of it.

    Now of course being a photographer, I always have a camera handy. As most of you know, I've been trying to get more pictures of myself. Granted, these aren't the most flattering pictures, but what can I say? I'm goofy! ;-)


    This is the standard picture for every photographer. Anytime I see a mirror, I always get a picture of myself in it. It shows off that new 17-55mm f2.8 lens nicely too!

    Waiting for pizza. Nothing to do but make funny faces to the camera.

    You see all kinda of stuff walking around Duval Street. I saw this guy sitting on the sidewalk. Every time he would start to play, his dog wold howl! I just had to take his picture.

    Of course, you can't go to the beach without a hammock

    This is the life!

    I must have laid in that hammock for hours just reading a book and listening to the waves. It was SO relaxing.

    We were waiting on the sun to set. Its not often you can see the sun rise and set over the water both in the same day.


    And this last one is just for fun. As a person who wears many hats, I thought this would be too fun! We had a rule that every time we saw a hat, I had to put it on and get my picture taken. Too fun! The middle picture is me with all my coupons I took from the hotel. Each card had a coupon for a free drink on Duval Street. I kept joking that we could drink all night and not have to pay a dime! Too bad I don't really drink! ;-)

    More posts to come! Expect blog posts from my weekend in Orlando for my niece's birthday, the tag from Shores Photography, my weekend in Jacksonville for my cousin's graduation, and my long weekend in Buffalo!

    nice, I like the hat the one on the top row on the left. That is my favirote one, I could die to sit there all day. How Cool. Can't wait for the rest of the pics.

    Not sure if that's you in the hammock, but that pic is now my wallpaper. It reminds me of two things:

    1) This time next week I'll be in Florida prepping for the wedding, and
    2) I am so excited to have you as my photographer!

    Thanks Terry for the continued support! If I ever can manage to be back in town on the weekend again, I can't wait to meet you at church!

    Melissa, yep that's me! If I close my eyes sometimes I can still imagine myself there again. And I am THRILLED to be your photographer! Your wedding photos are going to rock! :-)
