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!

Beauty on the Beach at Sandbridge!

Senior Session with Danieall! I gave out a sneek to the sneek preview last week on my flickr and facebook pages. Here is the rest of that not so pre pre-view!

We decided Sandbridge Beach at little Island Park would be a great place for these beautiful Senior Portraits.

Danieall was a great model as we tried some shots a little more on the creative and fun side. Senior's should be offered something a bit more original!

Trendy and relaxed to bring out who they really are! Danieall brought grace and style with it!

I loved how this image turned out. Looks so good in Black and White!

We also had a great time getting a little more playful in the water. Of course not knowing what kind of surprises headed her way in the waves. Just as she was leaning back one caught her. But overall that one shot is my favorite. Full of enthusiasm and her natural self.

Congratulations Danieall on your Graduation!

Wendy and Sam

Wendy, congratulations on having you man back home!

This was my first homecoming on the airstrip and wow, a photographer's delight! I have already shown Wendy and Sam thier images but I had to share! I think you'll enjoy it too!

Sam Is a wonderful Navy pilot as you can clearly see. I had a great time watching the planes coming in, and it couldn't have been a more beautiful, sunny day!

You just can pass the opportunity to photograph this awe striking sight.

And wow, just as striking! These lovely ladies really know how to turn it up when thier husbands come in. What husband wouldn't be happy to see them? I love it!

They weren't the only ones excited to see those pilots come in though. I snapped up several shots of the kids nervously waiting for thier Daddies!

I love this shot! As you can tell, the wives were just as nervous or at least holding back overwhelming excitement!

And when these guys make an entrance- They make an entrance!

But nothing in the world beats that first moment back together!

Congrates to you Wendy and Sam and the rest of the group.

Seniors Countdown!

For all those seniors who still want a great portrait tune in...
It's never too late!

Take a look at my new senior portrait packages... then... call!

Jamaal's Senior Portraits

Congratulations to Jamaal and the Class of 2009!


Since Jamaal lives so close to the beach we decided to do these Senior Portraits there as well as a nearby park. They turned out great. These are a sneak peak at my favorites! Great job Jamaal. You and your family are welcome to go online to my website http://www.cocoabeanphoto.com/ and find your gallery now online.

Claire and her Sailor!

I photographed these two down at the beach several days back. It was such a beautiful day and they took some really great photographs. I love it when two people really relax and ejoy the session. What comes through is seeing the fun they had playing around getting some really great portraits out of it. Here is your sneek peak of thier session and Claire your gallery is now ready.

Thanks so much!
