I had the opportunity today to visit some very close friends of mine John Ray and Alesha Perkins.  This visit was a bit different than some because I had the opportunity to meet the newest memeber of their little family Cecilia Elizabeth!  She is such a beautiful little girl.  I wanted to share a few images from my visit.  You can read up on Cecilia, Jay and the Perkins family on John Ray’s blog HERE.

Enjoy!

In today’s society it is almost necessary to be able to run your businesses remotely.  Thanks to technology we can.  Here are a few useful tools that I use which allow me to run my business from wherever I am:

iPhone:  iPhone is the main platform I use for remote business management.  The beautiful thing about it is the fact that it is a useful tool remotely and locally.  Wherever I am it’s there.

Here are a few mobile apps that keep my business going:

Mail
Calendar
Things
Evernote
Dropbox
Facebook
HootSuite
Dev Chart
WordPress
Deliveries
Chase
The Weather Channel
Camera
Insight
Notes
Google Voice
Dragon Dictation
1Password
Maps

There are several other apps that I use for personal use along with apps that come and go which I have tried and may have failed, but these are pretty much the root apps that I tend to use on a very regular basis.  Please share suggestions/alternatives if you have found any that work better.  If you aren’t taking advantage of your mobile technology I hope you begin to embrace it.

The other day I was playing around with lights and just doing some test setups.  I decided to text Rebecca and tell her that I have taken over the kitchen and be prepared for it when she got home from work.  Needless to say you couldn’t really walk through the house because of my monstrosity of a setup in the kitchen.  When they got home I wanted to take a few family portraits from a different perspective as opposed to the ones you see everyday.  Well… Here is what I ended up with.  Enjoy!

Just thought I’d Share:

I’m really interested to see everyone’s response on this one…

I will be out of the country and out of contact until January 3rd 2010.  If you need to contact me please do so via e-mail and I will respond after I return.

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

Tuesday I had the opportunity to shoot for my cousin Chiara and her wonderful family.  It was such a fun day!  It was so hard to narrow down images to edit because there were just so many great images.  With that said it was even hard to narrow down images for a blog post so I just decided to put a bunch.  Here are several of my favorites.

Enjoy!

A couple of months back I did a shoot for Artesia in Lafayette for their upcoming marketing campaign.  The shoot was amazing!  The talent that worked with were diehards for putting up with us for such a long day.  I’m excited that I finally get to share a few images from the shoot.  Images were used in print, online, and billboard marketing.

Enjoy!
