Sister Power!

My sister is a portrait photgrapher in the OC. She was just featured on Good Day LA!!! OMG! I am so excited for her. This is huge for her reputation as a talented artist and just overall a pretty nice feather in her cap, huh?

I''m a proud sis.

Here is the link to the STORY.

Good Day LA is a syndicated program reaching homes all across the US!
Good Job, Jenny!

Almost a Teenager

Remember what it was like to be twelve? You wanted to be thirteen sooo badly. That ache for the suffix "teen" on the back end of your age. It was so important, such a milestone. It seemed like the only thing you thought about on a constant basis, well other than boys--oh and the fact that you really wanted to be 16.

Oh how I love 12 year olds! Not quite a woman...still a little girl, but growing up so fast! "M" is an impeccable young lady. She is polite. She is beautiful. She is sweet. And oh that smile! She can knock your socks off with that grin of hers. She "claims" to not have a crush on a boy at the moment. Does she? I believe her. This young woman is bright and ambtious. Who has time for boys when you have the world at your feet?



Photographing her was a delight, and she is now a permanent part of my professional portfolio. Can a photographer ask for better than this? I don't think so. Stay sweet, "M!" You are humble and gracious, qualities to be envied!



Woooheee! Hot chica!! Watch out mom and dad...she's going to be a looker! Heck, she already is!



Until Next Time,

Color Fun & Studio News!

K's proofs? Wow, did they turn out great! I have been fooling around with color, and had a little fun with her images. A special client, she loves it when I get the creative juices flowing and give her something a little edgier and different. This woman loves to have fun. The two of them are just divine, aren't they?





K is sooo cute. She got this great outfit at Jerry Rice in dowtown Portland, so she wants to bring in these shots in to the store to show them off. Nice to have great friends, huh?



So...in the meantime, our website is now under heavy construction and should be out soon. I can't wait! Stay tuned! Plus, we are launching a new line of services. Jewel Images is going to have a specialty pet portrait division! Pricing details and special promotions will be out soon.
So if you are thinking of that special memory of Fido you want treasured. Stay Tuned!

Until Next Time,

Watch Out Ladies!

There's a new man in town. This is "G". And at 16....he is a QT!
We had so much fun in the Pearl District this morning near the old Armory Theatre. "G" was so cool, hip and was willing to try anything. I think he should be a model. Ladies...what do you think?


And here's one of the whole family. Thanks for a great day, you guys!


Until Next Time,

Scoop-d-Doop!

Meet Scoop!


I LOVE this dog so much! She is a miniature Schnauzer and let me tell you...What a PERSONALITY!!
She'll bark at you ALL DAY LONG! But she's all bark and absolutely no bite! It's funny because everytime I show up at this clients house, Scoop does her dog-gone best to make sure I KNOW she is in CHARGE!
Then all I have to do is love on her, and pet her, and squeeze her, and she calms right down and says, "Ok. I think you're ok. you can come in...." LOL



"G" and "M" had so much fun goofing off on the master bed with Scoop! I am honored to have been able to capture it! Thanks guys!

Until Next Time,
