Michele Marie at KenapocoMocha Coffee House

In case you didn't get a chance to stop by the KenapocoMocha Coffee House in North Manchester, Indiana, here are a few images of the artwork that I have on display until the end of the month.

Enjoy!

Catching up - starting with Steff

Oh my how the summer has just buzzed by!  This month I am focused on catching up - if that is ever possible ;-)  I had a great summer with new clients, lots of family & friend time and new pictures!

So, today I am starting with Steff.  Steff & Brum celebrated their anniversary with us in Key West.  Steff and I decided to remember the occasion with some very fun images...I had mentioned that some brides are into the "Trash the Dress" sessions after the wedding and I had never shot one...well, my pool area became the backdrop to a lot of fun image making....

TO BE CONTINUED....

THEN WE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE YELLOW CHAIR....

THEN HER HUSBAND GOT IN ON THE FUN...

REMEMBER, WE TALKED ABOUT 'TRASHING THE DRESS' MAYBE GETTING WET?

HERE'S STEFF FLIRTING WITH THE POOL AND SHOWING SOME 'TUDE....

MORE TO COME....I'LL GIVE YA A HINT...'SPLASH!'

BUT, OF COURSE, WE CAN'T LEAVE OUT THE HUBBY, KYLE! 

SHOULD HE HELP HER OUT?

OR, SHOULD SHE HELP HIM IN?

SO ENDS OUR PHOTOSHOOT. 

(OF COURSE THERE WAS A LITTLE MORE

PLAY IN THE WATER, FROLICKING IN THE OUTDOOR SHOWER,

BUT THAT'S FOR ANOTHER TIME...)

Fall. Family Portrait Month. Starting Early.

Think family.  Think Fall.  Think Operation Smile.  All good.

Meet the Orchid Whisperer - Gary, Key West

Gary works at the MARC Plant Store and is a member of the Key West Orchid club. 

His home gardens are simply amazing.  Beautiful.  Enjoy!

Fall is really a great time of the year.

Fall is full of eye candy.  The air is warm with a little crispness.  The sun is friendly, not scorching.  There are farmer's markets full of beautiful produce.  Pumpkins.  Mums. 

I'm hanging in Indiana for a couple of weeks, and here are a couple fall visions...

Buckingham Fountain

I always love the sight of Buckingham Fountain in full water works display when I drive into the city...

Oh you just never know what you will find in Key West - this amazing wall/building is a restored gymnasium in the Bahama Village area.  Beautiful...now I am imagining someone dressed in a white dress...any takers?

Sunset Show at Mile Marker 88

Remember why you wanted to visit Florida?  Sun, beaches, ocean, friends, relaxation...sometimes we forget to enjoy the simple things like a sunset.  I was so blown away by this sunset last week.  I actually had the time (and patience) to sit in one place and enjoy being.  Here is my reward.  The most amazing sunset that wouldn't stop.  (The images are pretty much not retouched and all are from the same sunset location.)

Wine is d'vine at The Gardens Hotel

For those of who that know me - you know I like wine.  Well, there is something very new to buzz about at The Gardens Hotel.  Kate Miano, the owner, has just installed the coolest, state-of-the-art wine bar - open to the public.  I got to 'test it out' at the weekly Sunday Jazz jam in the Garden.

Kate will demonstrate:

1.  buy a wine card

2.  select your wine (there are sooooo many....)

3.  choose a taste, 1/2 glass or full

4.  enjoy!

then we had a little go...I think we had fun, don't you?  Cheers!

Well done beautiful Mother/daughter team - Kate & Jessica. 

Cheers!
