i recently got to visit with my cousin in Niagara Falls, and got to spend some time with the ever beautiful and growing Wurfel girls… LOVE them!!!!!! here are some pictures i snapped of my goddaughter and one shot of her older sister (who NEEDS to be a model! seriously!!!) enjoy!

I’m an avid reader (read creeper) of other photographer’s blogs. The other day I noticed a trend… a new iPhone app, ShakeItPhoto. It gives a real feeling of taking a polaroid… let’s just say, too much fun! Within minutes of downloading it, I did a “things around me” shoot… loved shaking the phone to ‘develop’ the picture… heheheh enjoy!

spent the afternoon joining some of my guests on the city tour. It’s a half a day, spent trying to show what Puerto Plata is like. I can tell you that after spending quality time here, you can’t really get a feel for it in a half day… you can scratch the surface, but even then, you miss out on the heart the people of this country have. My goal this season is to get out and capture some of the faces and capture that heart. It’s not going to be easy, but I like a challenge… hehehe… so for now, here’s just the surface…

A couple weeks ago, my roomie and I headed out for a nice sunset walk along the beach, yes, I know, how romantic… haha… I had this idea for a shoot long before we even left for the DR, and this was only take 1, unfortunately, it’s been literally raining EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. since… so I haven’t had a chance to try it again… but my glass is still half full, and it will be sunshine again, so stay tuned for take 2! Enjoy!

I know I know… it’s been a while, but I have a good excuse! I’ve moved back to the Dominican Republic, and back to what feels like my other life. I’ll admit I was a little apprehensive before I left, but after all the “Welcome Home”s, and all the hugs, I remember why it was so hard to leave the first time. It’s been a crazy month getting things going, but in some ways it feels like I never left. While I haven’t had a chance to take out the “big” camera yet, here’s a little taste of things thus far. If you know anyone travelling to the DR this winter season, I’d love to do some beach sessions! Let me know! Enjoy!
