Lana and Natalya

A beautiful mother, a beautiful daughter, and two fun-filled hours in the studio sums up this session we had with Lana and Natalya. It's not easy being in front of the camera and lights for that long, but they took it in stride and the result will be images they will be able to cherish to years to come.

Tuscany and Venice

buon giorno! Connie and I fulfilled a lifelong dream in May by having the opportunity to spend two weeks in romantic Italy, traveling throughout the gorgeous countryside of Tuscany and then on to Venice. Words can't begin to describe the beauty of this region and the history surrounding it's hilltop villages and cities that reflect the culture and architecture of the Renaissance period. From Siena to Sam Gimignano, Montepulciano to Montalcino, and many villages in between, we viewed landscapes from sunrise to sunset that captured our hearts.

Immersing ourselves for two weeks in one area of Italy allowed us to truly appreciate it's people and way of life. We found ourselves acclimating very quickly to the italian lifestyle, enjoying a good cappuccino each morning (and afternoon, and evening!) while relaxing outside a cafe and doing our best to learn and speak italian whenever possible.

Most afternoons greated us with a thunderstorm, but that only added to the splendor of the sights and smells of the area. We watched couples huddle under umbrellas to escape the sudden downpours, 85 year old women walking up steep hillside streets oblivious to the inclement weather, and the beautiful reflections of light on the wet cobblestone streets.

With so much more to see in Italy, we look forward to returning there soon.
