Aaron is here this weekend.

Meet... Mr. Personality.

See I told you.

And then...meet...Mr. Cuteness.

See...I told you.

Judy is here this weekend.

When you get ready for a photo shoot - you can't plan everything! Fun things just happen... like today...

Then - there are the shots that you expect! Queen of CUTENESS!

See - I told you! AND I didn't even WANT to air brush THIS face.

Confused. Am I in photography , airbrushing or painting?

I just don't know where I am going in all this photography stuff. I just know that I love it and I can't put it down. The more I play with the images - the more I like the "different" kind of stuff. I think. Some traditional stuff is okay but the "way different" stuff - I like it more at the moment. I am a "moment" gal. You already knew that. Question...."Should you ever airbrush a child?" Who cares...but I did. And...I like it.

I wonder what this would look like on a wall or a desk?

This was very different too - and I like it.

Painting and airbrushing

Just looking at these images you might not see any difference at first glance. Click on them
and you'll see palette painting and intense air brushing! I made her a CD of simple images - then I was in the mood to just play. That's all.

Eyes or Wires?

It's always about the eyes.

Eyes or Ice Cream?

Isn't it always about the eyes.....or is it about the ice cream?

Happy Anniversary Gina and Caleb

Happy Anniversary Gina and Caleb. You are as beautiful as ever!

This looks like the tile in a bathroom - but it's the back wall at the ORGAN STOP PIZZA restaurant. It was so dark inside this place - Jamie would want to know that my ISO was at 3200. (ha) We are out with Caleb's parents and his brothers and sisters to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. I just couldn't resist another cute shot of these guys!

Coolest....Father and Son

Never showed this yet. I bet JP is gonna like it!

One of my favorite photos of a super dad and a cool, awesome son.

I especially love what I feel....
"a son really listening to his dad".

BLUEST EYES EVER!

Are their bluer eyes than Aaron's eyes? ......bring it on!

I dare you......

See....

I win. I have the bluest eyes!

Love these Rainy DAYS!

It's a rainy day. What's a gal to do? Okay - play with Photoshop - again. Here is a before and after of Judy and Aaron on a fun rug. I grabbed at the chance to hide the black ribbon sticking up from Judy's hair. (using Lighthouse) It worked to my surprised and then I cleaned the food off their faces, cropped it a little and then brightened the colors in the rug. So - here ya go... progress - again - at the Cozza's house. I love rainy days, bright colorful rugs and adorable grandkids!

Happy Valentines Day plus the BEFORE and AFTERs

Happy Valentine's Day! I recently took pictures of a lot of couples at a Sweetheart Party. I was asked to make some posters! Here are a couple of them. (These also make great 8 x 10 photos if you don't want the big 12 x 16 poster.)

I also learned a new program in Photoshop to "soften facial lines" prior to that Sweetheart Party. I had a really fun time editing some of the photos. Here are samples of some of the "before" and "after" images. These photos don't really need any editing - they are beautiful couples naturally - but since I learned this new program - I just couldn't resist using it on them! Thanks to my friends who let me show them off! Maybe you would like me to do this for you!

Grandkids - cute

Aaron and Judy

ROAR like a Lion!

"Aaron - what does a lion say?"

"R O A R !!!!!" growls Aaron.


"Judy - what does a monkey say?"
"oooooooooo" says Judy.

Gina called and asked me ..."Do you want to go to the zoo with us today?" My answer was obvious - "I'm in the car!" What a fun day we had walking around and seeing tigers and lions and bears! OH MY!Look at the little critters I saw.....

You probably thought you were going to actually SEE the lions and tigers and bears on my blog.
Nope. Kids were WAY more fun to see.
Thanks Gina for a fun day!

POSTERS and more POSTERS

I am showing off the colors of my posters. Well - these are only some of them. By the way - aren't these the cutest kids ever! oh yeah - even the little boy down there...he is mighty cute too!
