If a fairy came along and offered you three wishes, what would they be? Now, you cannot wish that you have endless wishes. It's no use trying to cheat the universe. If you do, it tries harder, and it just get even trickier. They must be tangible wishes. I have thought about this all day. It is a hard thing to answer. The answer can change based on your mood, or events surrounding you in that present moment.

People have been asking me a lot what do I want to do? where do I see myself in the next 5 years. Once the New Year & the holidays have passed, people seem to stop reevaluating their lives. New Years resolutions are a thing of the past. 

In five years I see my self doing much of the same, loving what I do. I would like to include much more travel into the mix, well I sure don't think that surprises anyone! I really do love being a part of my friends special days capturing their special moments. I had a "friend" recently tell me that I need to back away from photography because I was always busy and that is not making me have a very fun life. I don't know if she noticed or not that I have been the happiest I have been in a very long time since I started admitting to myself that photography was where I needed to be! Photography is fun for me, and for a lot of people this is something they can not comprehend. Imagine doing something you actually love for a living.

Again, what would your three wishes be?

Whoever told you to not follow your dreams is not a real friend. I for one am really glad that you decided to follow them. Not a lot of people have the guts to do so. You ROCK!

Renee & Robbie were expecting when I took these photos and they emailed me today to let me know that little "Blake Ivan Dixon" was born to them just recently! I am sure that Blake will be loved and cherished like he should be. I thought I would share these maternity photos with you that I took of Renee last month!

OK seriously HOT! Ummmmm NOOOO it's not the weather I am talking about. It is my boudoir babes, that I photographed over the last 2 weeks. Over 20 girls took a leap and did Valentine's Day sessions with me. Quite a few have agreed to let me show little snippets of their beauty on my blog. So once Valentine's Day has passed and they have surprised their loved ones, I will start to post some. I cannnnnot wait to hear some reactions from their partners, and may post some of them up on here as well.

So this set of photos makes me laugh every time I see it. I have it posted to my fridge. This was taken after a wedding. I wish I could show you her shirt she is wearing, that I had gotten her in Vegas. It says "the camera loves me". I had gotten a new vehicle and Sparky Ming Ming wanted to see it on the inside. I set up my camera of course to record her reaction when I blasted dance music out for her so we could have a mini dance party. Sparky Ming Ming started to roar laughing. The biggest belly laugh ever. I love that laugh of hers. It can brighten anyone's day. It is one of those laughs that is from the depth of her belly and is fills her eyes and face. I am sure if you could bottle up that laughter and sell it, it would be a profitable product. Very Profitable. Anytime I miss her, I just think of that laugh, and it makes me feel happy. Oh Sparky Ming Ming, you really do make me smile.

OMG this makes me laugh...I can hear her laughter and yours too Rachel!!! Thanks for sharing :)

Shelly C.:

Fun dance party :)

Kim "MSMF":

Some of my faves of Sparky for sure, but the problem is how would you ever choose favorites. Never seen her take a bad pic. Of course the supa talented photographer sure helps.

I wanted to address the issue of confidentiality with my readers in regards to Boudoir or for that matter any of my sessions. I take it very seriously and would never breach this intentionally. 

I am a very honest and loyal person and I can promise that I would feel worst than you would if your photos were seen and you didn't want them to be. I will post them to my blog if you are pumped about them and don't mind me showing them off. That would be my honor.

Will you tell people about me having a session?
No, absolutely not, I will however say I had a "BEAUTIFUL inside and out client" doing a boudoir session. All my clients are Beautiful ;-)

How do I choose the blog photos?
I will choose a few from the session out of your favorites and then ask for your permission to use. Until I have your permission and the go ahead they will not appear anywhere in my promotions or on my blog.

Can I have a few for facebook?
Yes, I don't mind sending you a few lo resolution logo'd ones for facebook or other online sites.

Will I be used in promotion?
You will only be used in promotions if you agreed that you want to be.

When do I have to decide if I want to be blogged or not?
Whenever you wish. You can decide after you see the photos. Some clients let me know before or during the shoot. Others decide that after they see the photos that they are promoting beauty and don't mind at all giving me the go ahead! 

Where do you get your images printed?
I print my boudoir along with all other images, out of country, so that complete confidentiality is served. I will order express post if I have promised images will arrive in time, and take the charge upon myself to make sure they get here.

Nice to see that you believe in the clients confidentiality, I think as a potential client that makes me more interested in Boudoir shoots. Thanks for letting me know.
