I'm having so much fun with my newly created, 'Magazine Cover'. Each month I feature a model from one of my recent shoots on it as a place of honor, and this month I have extra pages to highlight the venue as well; if others are involved in the production of my shoot, I like to give them some advertising in return.
I believe, 'one hand washes the other'. I know getting my business up and growing is not an isolated thing. So when I can return the favor I do. It's the little things, like sharing, that brings us the greatest joys. I love helping people grow their business, I love seeing people succeed. As for me, my success comes from the Lord also; he is my rear guard and His word to prosper me is a promise sure and true. 
So now let me welcome you to my May issue. My model this month is, Jamie Paisley. Together we created this fun shoot reminiscent of the, 1920's. Jamie wore a white 'flapper' styled dress that was perfect for capturing light and highlighting the beautiful ribbons artwork sewn on it. She is a college student who responded to my 'looking for a model ad' for my lifestyle shoot, and she did a great job posing for me.
Our shoot took place at the historic, Casa Coquina del Mar B&B in, Titusville, FL; built in the early 1900's. It's continually reported, that Al Capone, has something in common with the home's past. I would really like to hear more about this; I'm intrigued with historical stories about infamous people.
The, Casa, as I so nicknamed it, gladly opened it's doors to my, Lifestyle Shoot, request. I was already familiar with it's interior having done the photographs for their website. So I had the advantage of knowing where I wanted to set up. 
The 'Casa', is full of charming ambiance that comes through the original detailing of it's architecture. The many rooms and dark cubbyholes that make up it's floor plan brings a sense of mystery and moodiness on the inside; it's high metal ceiling and, what seems to be, original glass windows, embellishes the mood even more. However, the opposite affect is fluent outdoors. The garden vignettes are full of delightful surprises with pergolas, intimate garden rooms and a domed arbor with a beautiful patina on it, that is the highlight of the garden and captures the breath of all it's guest.
Casa Coquina del Mar is also hosting a Bridal Show May 19th for local brides. It's a whole day of prizes, food, entertainment and pure fun for all. I'll be there with so many other wedding vendors giving gifts and raffles prizes away to a few lucky brides.
Ciao.
