Greg and Elizabeth

I met Greg a couple of years ago at the 9 to 5...
Of course I'm always in someones ear saying, "you should visit my website"...And Greg fell for it...next thing I know he and his lovely fiance were making out in front of me...lol

here's a couple of more images from that day:

The Buzz....

Guess What Ma.....I shot a book cover...lol

I am proud to announce the release of an AMAZING book by an AMAZING author...Freelance writer and entertainment blogger Stefanie Newell has penned her debut novel The Buzz: When celebrity gossip goes wrong…A fictional piece on the entertainment industry, gossip and the Internet. The Story follows Ebony, a successful business owner who has everything she could wish for. But her perfect world becomes hectic when the newest target of her hate, R&B singer Arika, and her rapper boyfriend Buzz collaborate on a project together. From there the drama ensues and all of Ebony’s dirty little secrets come spilling out.

I'd personally like to Thank Shaneen and Melissa for looking sooooo great and spreading all that gossip on the cover....and I'd like to give a special thanks to Ms. Niena Drake for concept, wardrobe, and location to make this shoot a special one for Dartise Photography and Write One Publications....

DAVE + JENNI SLIDESHOW

Hello all,

I met this young lady when she came to work in my department after moving from my home state Arizona around this time last year...Since then we've become great friends (except for when I smack my gum in the car)...

I got a chance to hear so much about her fiance Dave before I actually met him in person because he had to tie up some loose ends back in AZ...and since Jenni and I worked together on many projects day after day...I'm sure he heard much about me as well....

But now, after many days/nights without her fiance, he finally made it to Chicago....YAY!!!!

Meet Dave and Jenni:





I'm looking forward to shooting their wedding next year...

okay okay I have to do it... one more pic...and in my best "valley girl" voice....

THEY'RE SOOOOOO TOTALLY GANGSTA!!!!!




until next time....
