Destination Weddings

This January was my first opportunity to photograph a destination wedding in Mexico and I didn’t want to leave. It was absolutely amazing and the bride & groom were stunning.

Chichenitza, Mexico – Travel Photography

One of my loves is traveling and being able to combine my photography with my travel is even better. I loved the ruins in Mexico and didn’t want to come home. I can’t wait to start planning my next excursion.

this is a link to Benjamin Edwards photographs from his trip to Kenya to bring awareness and help raise funds for these communities and hospitals.  Take a look at the image with the child holding the tablet that says Love.  Look at the joy in their faces!  But also see the tablet and how warn it is from so much use.  they need our help.  We are so privileged that we take forgranted sometimes the things our children have.  Please give if you can.

This post is something that has been near and dear to my heart for a long time.  Travelling to Africa to help out their communities has always been a dream of mine.  I’m so hoping that I’m one of the chosen photographers to attend a workshop being hosted by Kevin Kubota and Doug Gordon.  I’ve been using my talents and time to bring awareness to local charities and events in my own community that I believe in.  I want to always help wherever I can and I believe it doesn’t have to be something significant to make things happen or to make a difference in someone’s life.  Give of yourself what you can.  I love that I can do that with the talent I have been given.  Even if I am not one of the chosen, I will be organizing some upcoming fundraising to assist this worthy cause and try to spread a little awareness so that others wanting to help can do so too.

Cuba – Travel Photography

This young boy was playing in the streets in Cuba without a care in the world. It made me extremely happy just to watch him. This is how simple life should be…a world without all the crazy toys or video games…just our own imagination.

Cuba

I’ve recently discovered my love of travel and photography together. Prior to my cancer, I didn’t believe it was possible for me to get out into the world and explore, however, since my diagnosis, I get out every opportunity I can. What an experience it is to see other cultures, experience the way they live and appreciate my fortunes that much more. While my friends all hit the streets to shop, I hit the streets with my camera and talk to the locals, photographing their environment. If I could only do one thing here on in in my life, it would be to travel and record and bring awareness to the places I’m so privileged to visit.
this woman reminded me of my own mother. As a child, we did not have an easy life, but it was a good one. I remember doing laundry in the summer outside with a washboard and hanging it on the line. We never did without the necessities.
