Cool Cars and Things

Boy oh boy am I behind on my blogging. I'll start back up with this one. Had a fabulous 2 weeks back in Chicago. I just happened to be in town during this once a year open house for Voodoo Larry Kustoms. I'm such a sucker for all things colorful and this was the perfect place to fulfill my senses. Music, food, people. Oh yeah...COOL CARS! When I go to shows like this I always dream of having all these fun cars in my back yard as photo props! I seem to have been a little into the grills this time. Probably one of the fun-ner car shows that I've been to. Take a look!!!

It was like I stepped into the 50's! 

This was by far the cleanest garage I've ever seen!

I guess if you need to take a break, you pull out the bass
and bang out some tunes. Well, maybe not bang.

Grill number one. Just so cool.

Interesting concept....

Cool lock.

This had a sticker on it that said "I AM finished".

I love purple.

Nice hearse :)

We saw this on the road on our way to the event. I wanted to jump
out of the car I was riding in and hop in this ride. I was so close to doing it!

Just a nice row of colors and shapes.

This is my buddy Critter. We pretty much shot all the fun
events together when I lived there. I bet he misses me! :oD

Oooooo, grill number two!

Here's Christine and I getting the obligatory reflection shot. 

Ooooooo, grill number three! :)

Up close from one of the bands that played.

This little girl was push'n her tush out on the dance "floor".

She was so stinkin cute!

Oooooo, grill number 4.

Ah yes, a Voodoo doll hanging under the hood. Nice hiding place.

Ok, I'll spare you the Ooooo's.

Oooooo, just kidding. Not.

Critter and Christine

Had to take some fun shots with the Lens Baby.

I just loved the look of this Corn Dog stand. Wish I had one.

I totally loved how these two dudes were dressed and checkin out the bikes.

This would totally be my bike!

This guy might be on to something....

LOVE this car! It had shag carpeting. Doesn't get any better than that does it?

Coolest sporty looking car I've ever seen.

I think we can all relate to this. Sometimes I totally wished I had these
planted on the outside of my car when I'm behind an idot driver. (I would
never be one of those drivers.)....juuuuuuust say'n.

Why yes, it's me with Voodoo Larry and his lovely wife Collette!

Summer In Paradise Concert 2012

     Easter Seals organized a tropical event this year that took place at 

the Naylor Winery in Stewartstown, PA. This was their 4th annual

event and a great success! I couldn't have asked for better ambiance to photograph since I personally love the tropics and the sound of the steel drum. If you've never been,

it's an event fun for everyone and shouldn't be missed. So be sure to "like" the

Easter Seals Facebook page (link above)  and keep a look
out for next years date.

The scenery is gorgeous here! I hope to come back just to walk the vineyard.
Maybe an engagement session anyone?! :)

Tropical touches everywhere! My kind of party!

Looks like Pinky was having a good time too!

Kayla Kroh was first up to entertain the crowd. She is one talented girl!

This is Anna Laura part of the B-Tropical band.
A new addition from what I understand. This girl has the moves!

 B-Tropical playing to the crowd.

Here again are the B-Tropical members, even a couple of their kids
following in their foot steps. They were a huge crowd pleaser!

Oh yeah, the Channel 8 News was there, covering the event and the weather!
That's Christina Witmer from ES, the orgranizer of the event being interviewed
by Doug Allen the "weather man". And of course a nice group of people
enjoying themselves.

Tropical Soul along with John Patti and Michael Crawley really got
people up out of their seats and made them forget where they actually
were, SOMEWHERE IN PA with their popular tunes. From the way it looked
they have quite a following.

Everyone from the young to the young at heart enjoyed this spectacular event! 

A perfect night for a date!

Let's not forget girls night out!

Parrot Heads, I mean shoulders were in "the house".

These people are enjoying the great outdoors under
the tropical sounds and warmth of paradise! 

What Weddings Are Made Of

I'm so behind on blogging the weddings I've done. Here is one that I second

shot with Jeff Benzon Photography. I have a few more to post at some point

but will let this one do for now before I go on vacation. 

Here's Jeff, yep, we're taking pictures of each other. We always
test the lighting before things get real.

I love all the gorgeous details on the day of the a wedding.

Sometimes the details are very sentimental. Given or handed down by loved ones.

I totally love this shot of the ring but the picture that captures my heart is this of
the little puppy chow wondering what all the commotion is all about.

The gorgeous bride in her gorgeous dress.

I love this impromptu moment that daddy steals one last kiss of his "little girl".

The bride and groom's closest friends. 

The ceremony.

What weddings are made of....family and friends, cake smash, pillow fights,
laughter, sweet and silly moments.

Doh, Dad is out of cash!

The perfect image to end with. They live happily ever after!

Cupcakes & Cookies

Awhile back I got together with Hope Adela Pasztor to collaborate on a 

photo shoot contest where the winner would receive a free photo shoot

 by yours truly and styling and makeup by Hope. Since Hope works at the amazing

Atomic Warehouse, we decided it would be the perfect place to do our shoot for our

winner Michelle. Michelle's entry was posted on my main Facebook page and read 

"Hi! My ideal shoot would be posing as a pin-up girl in a kitchen

setting because, I'm a baker and I adore pin-up!"

This was Michelle's first photo shoot and she did such an awesome job

in front of the camera. I think we captured her personality perfectly!

Be sure to stop by my pages and give me a "LIKE", you never

know when I'll throw out another contest. My fashion FB page can be found

here. Also be sure to stop by

and visit Hope at Pink Champagne Fashion where you'll find all kinds of

vintage goodies as well as Atomic Warehouse. 

  

Weddings are FABULOUS!

Thanks so much to Priscilla Baumgartner Photography for having me

second shoot this fabulous wedding! The bride and groom, Mhegyan and Jason Booz 

(yes Booz!) was so much fun and I loved the colors and location of the wedding. Not to 

mention that we have so much fun working together as a team!
