The Beauty of Woman

I had a most amazing and fantastic time shooting with one my new photography partners, her awesome HERO of a hairstylist friend who saved us when our classic make-up & hair artist didn't show & so many amazing women... all of whom exude physical and true beauty in every way. 

By way of reminder, The Beauty of a Woman by Ardem, highlighted by shots from today. 


The beauty of a woman
Is not in the clothes she wears,

The figure that she carries,

Or the way she combs her hair. 


The beauty of a woman
Must be seen from her eyes,

Because that is the doorway to her heart,

The place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman
Is not a facial mole,

But true beauty in a woman
Is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring she lovingly gives,
The Passion that she shows.
 
If you thought about shooting with us today, but could not make it, we look forward to seeing you in the coming months. 
Pin Up and Boudoir shoots are the last Sunday of every month at the JM Kennedy Dance and Pole Fitness Studio.
We are located in the Hope Artiste Village in Pawtucket, RI.

It's Cool to Brag about Your Spouse

Normally I would be blogging to remind you that Valentine's Day is less than three weeks away, that we have a pin-up/boudoir session this Sunday (Jan 31st) in Rhode Island if you want to sign up and do photos of you for  yourself or your love and that if you'd simply like to do some cool, fun photos of you, I am at your beckon call. However, I am not here to tell you those things. I am here because I would love to introduce you to this awesome t-shirt company with a mission to promote strong marriage & the pursuit thereof.

I know that no t-shirt is instantly going to heal an unstable relationship, but it sure can uplift our spouse and remind us how totally awesome we believe each other to be... good times!  The only thing that would make these better  would be if they were made of bamboo fiber instead of cotton... man oh man is bamboo SOFT!!!!  But, they are VERY, VERY, VERY cool- in my book.

Here is just one of the samples:


And guys... you too can tell us how much you dig your wife:


 So please do re-post and share this with your friends & family.... everyone deserves to know how much they are loved.

* And here is a litte incentive for you.
If you each buy a shirt for yourself (or as a gift for each other) & are willing to wear them for a photoshoot with me before April 1st, 2010. (I intend to be in California between now & then so everyone may take advantage.) I will deduct the cost of one shirt for each of you from the normal sitting fee of $125 & give you a session with one change of clothes. I will give you ALL the final images from your Union28 shoot and my six favorites of your 2nd outfit on DVD (a $475value.)

A Life Well Lived, A Testament of Hope

The Essential Writting and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr. have influenced my life almost as significantly as the Bible.   I  stumbled upon the collection at a Thrift Store in my teen years, it took me almost five years to read them all. I let each speech speech, sermon or writting stand on it's own two feet and sink in.   In  my opinion, "I had a dream" was actually one of the lesser poignant speeches Dr.King made.    If you aren't familiar with the vast field of works by this great mean, I highly suggest you pick up A Testament of Hope. It is worth EVERY cent & hour you invest.


I am so in awe of how significantly this great thinker changed the scope of so many people's focus that I had these grandios plans to schedule a service project my daughter & I could get all her neighborhood friends involved in to honor the spirit of the late Martin Luther King, Jr..  Alas, in my head this morning I am hearing "the road to He*L is paved in good intentions and non-action."   So, instead of feeling bad, I am just moving the day to next week for my daughter & I.  (She's still young enough, she'll never know  & the lesson won't be lost)
 
Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!!!!

Down the Shore

I admit that even after five years living in New Jersey, I still do not understand why the locals say they are going "down the shore." However, this past weekend I did indeed go "down the shore" to Sea Bright. It was interesting to see the rock sea-wall separating the beach from the business & houses with the strategically built stairs over it to get to the beach (wouldn't you know I forgot to take a photo!!!)

Lindsay, Jeff  and I took complete advantage of our 54 degree January "heat-wave"!!
Check  it out, bare feet in January in New Jersey!!!!





... yay for friends referring friends. Looking forward to seeing everyone again in August!!!

"I hated having my picture taken. I turned to Jessica and expected to simply suffer through it. One of my favorite meditations since that day is to recall the experience. It always puts me in a mind to revere who I am. I've never experienced anything like the joy Jessica Noelle brings to truly seeing you.

Wedding Porn

No, not really porn, just images that completely turn my passion for photography on.  I absolutely  LOVE when couples are up for anything and want to "play" instead of just getting their photos taken.  I had such a phenomenal time ringing in the New Year with Scott, Jessica & all their guests!!
Here are the sneak peaks... more to follow when I actually sit down to edit the wedding.




 




 


 
 
  Honestly, I could not have asked for a more amazing wedding to begin 2010.
