Tribute to Black Jack!

Today my heart breaks for my good friends, who have to live thru the pain of losing their "Boy"

I feel sad for those people who haven't experienced the unconditional love of a pet. Many people just don't understand that our pets are our Family Members, Companions and a BIG BIG part of our daily lives!!


This is my baby Cory - She is quite the character and really I can not remember my life without her.. And will give her BIG hugs every day - She gives me so much more DAILY!!

TODAY, take time in your busy schedules to tell those who mean something to you that they DO... Is there someone that you need to tell - THANK YOU or I LOVE YOU?? What is stopping you... GO DO IT!

HUGS and Love to those who mourn.. M

Some of my favorite photography sessions http://www.smilesforeverphotography.com/gallery2.htm are with little kids.. I feel we can have a successful session, by letting children be children. When you book a portrait session with Smiles Forever Photography you will get just that SMILES!! If you have a favorite location or in the comfort of your own home, I will be happy to come and create memories.




Hope that we can get together and play some time REAL soon...

Wedding Photography on the Florida Beaches


June is a busy month for wedding photography... I was lucky enough to take part in two very special weddings.




Perfect locations for a wedding: Carlouel, Clearwater Beach, FL and at the Sirata Beach Resort, St. Petersburg Beach, FL

It was just the right time to introduce two new items for my customers. I created a 20x10 Story board, which includes 5 photographs of the Special Event. And the other is a 16x20 Collage including several photographs from the Wedding. These are in addition to the Collages that I already offer - 6 photos in either 8x10 or 11x14 enlargements.






One of my favorite subjects to photograph are children - this little guy was a PURE joy.. Taught him how to do the Popeye look!!

Sharing the Joy of Photography!


I was very fortunate to do a photo session for a co-worker friend of mine this weekend, all of her family lives in Holland and they haven't seen each other in several years - so thru the magic of Photography and my website http://www.smilesforeverphotography.com - we were able to share this session with her Mother and Father.


Sunken Gardens is a wonderful location for Portraits, Family Gatherings & Weddings - it is located in St. Petersburg, FL and is a Photographers Dream.



Meet BOBO - he is a resident of Sunken Gardens and agreed to pose for me.. Ruffled feathers and all.

Getting Off on the Right Track!
