Large Family at the Beach

I completely enjoy taking family portraits down at the beach. It is so relaxing and always makes for a beautiful portrait for any wall. I truely believe it. I must, considering my family portraits from the beach are on my walls.

I recently got the opportunity to capture this families portraits while they were vacationing here in Virginia Beach at Sandbridge. They were a joy to work with. Krista, I give you a lot of kudos for planning such a relaxing time with your family! Watch out, I may pack my bags and stay with you next time!

Although I normally show a preview, I have shown Krista and her family thier portraits and even have sent them off to her. In fact this blog has been sitting in my "waiting to publish file for almost a month now, so I now today it's a session review. I know, pretty bad on timing but I did take a very extensive and not quite so calm and quiet of a vacation back west.

To Krista and Family: Thank you!

A New Favorite Artist and their "sweet new little widget"

You may have seen me post something about Josh Ryan from Secrets In Stereo before but I just wanted to make this a full on love post!

Just so you understand, I used "Happy" in my slideshow/video of some of the images I have captured for the Charitable program I belong to: Operation Love Reunited. I had so many people asking about the music. Soon, I got past how beautiful the song was and I looked up the artist on facebook and Youtube. Josh is an up and coming artist from Nashville who has captured the heart of many a "Twilight" fan as well as those who have heard him on "Young and the Restless." He also mentions on his blog he is working on something for a Hertz commercial. Now that of course is not all that's on his blog http://www.secretsinstereo.com/blog/ In the great "Pay it forward" style: when I logged on last I noticed if you sign up for his Blog newsletter you are automatically given a code for a free download of his debut album!! I'm sure that won't last for long but... Wow, a great find for me to listen to, yes, over and over again, but also recieve that music for free. Now obviously he is doing his job to get the word out and I can't help but say it's an easy job to be one of his new fans. I will continue to be a fan far past the free debut!

Go there! Sign up! And become a new fan for yourself!
Pay it forward and pass his music and name along!

My cuddos go out to Josh and "Secrets In Stereo!"
Best of Luck to you!
