Everything you experience in your world is a direct reflection of your perception and what you are feeling and thinking. Many people do not realize this and float through life thinking that things just "happen" to them. If you are always thinking negatively how can you expect to have a prosperous fulfilling life. Take notice of your thoughts throughout your day. Are your thoughts uplifting and positive or are you looking at the worst in everything, everyone and every situation? And, if you answer "yes" to the latter, how is the life you are experiencing shaping up for you?
Changing your inner thoughts and dialogue will eventually change your outer experiences. Put it to the test!

We've all seen them... little children who seem to exude something externally that reminds us of people much older. Digging through my archives I found this photo of a Valentine's Day party I shot and the first thing that came to my mind was, "These kids look like grandparents in toddler bodies!" There is so much personality and style in this shot.

We shot two looks of the conceptual heiress against two different backdrops. The first look was sophistication which was juxtaposed with the feistier second look.
Chameleons are known to change color to adapt with their surroundings. The heiress changes looks/mood/attitude to adapt to her changing personality!

Here is the final product:
I had a recent shoot with a great team of folks who helped to put together a Nautical-themed shoot. The idea was to capture a 1920s - '30s type of casual sea/water-based look and feel. Here are a couple of sneak peeks for your pleasure! It's great when you're working with people who are all on the same page with the same vision because you all have the one "end goal", yet, being distinct individuals you all add your own nuances on the path to achieving that goal.

Style may be defined as: A quality of imagination and individuality expressed in one's actions and tastes. I like to think of style as the signature of an individual that is expressed throughout their life daily. People, I feel, often confuse "fashion" with "style". Fashion, especially clothing, comes and goes and is dependent greatly on the particular culture/world view/profession/etc. that is popular at that time. Style transcends fashion in that it is timeless and exudes from the individual not the culture at large.
In addition to clothing, the term can be applied to a plethora of ideas and actions. There is a certain style that a chess player will develop and use when he learns to play the game well. There is an inherent style that a photographer will eventually develop in regards to perspective or editing, even if unbeknownst to themselves, if they are consistent with their shooting over time. "Fashion", in this sense, would be congruous to using a en vogue/popular opening during a chess match or using a popular photographic editing technique that is trendy for the year (yes, you're right... I'm not an HDR fan! :))
When a person comes to a realization and understanding of their style and the manner in which they approach things, they are that much closer on the long path of self-discovery and improvement.
