Gomez Family Birthdays

Dan, Vinny and myself had fun last weekend celebrating the birthdays of Laz, Sophie and Emma of the Gomez family. And I have to add that Orange County parks are the shiznit compared to Brevard :)

Laz assisted the girls when it came to opening presents, while Neela took pictures and enjoyed watching her family have fun.

Here we see Laz opening an Xbox game. Hey, we had to get rid of that huge box somehow....why not watch Laz squirm a little!

This was hilarious. After opening all of her gifts, Sophie decided she was done and took her bags and went home.

The Sandwich Bar-located on Robinson in the Milk District of downtown Orlando

  Since this place opened in January of this year, Dan and I had been wanting to go have an awesome sandwich at The Sandwich Bar (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sandwich-Bar/153213618064416). It's located in the Milk District (http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Milk-District/32535681822) which is on Robinson in downtown Orlando. (I took a few photos with my phone during our dining experience, but hopefully the owner will let me come back to take some really good photos. These pixely shots don't give the food it's appropriate justice!)

  After hearing that Crooked Bayou was closing and learning that Matt Harris was opening a shop of his own, we figured it would be nothing less than excellence. The menu consists of vegan, herbivore and carnivore sandwich and appetizer choices. The sandwiches are nothing less than gourmet and of perfect portion size, their beer is micro, and the jalapeño hummus is absolute perfection. The inside may be small, but it definitely feels cozy.....with dim lighting and sweet tunes. I personally think the cork walls are pretty cool...

  Dan (photo above) had The Pilgrim sandwich, while I indulged in the Greek Gobbler. On french bread, this beast had turkey, cucumber, jalapeno hummus, mixed greens, onion and avocado. (Below is the jalapeño hummus appetizer)

  If you're looking for a new place to eat, you really need to stop by The Sandwich Shop on Robinson, behind T.G. Lee, in the downtown Orlando area. You won't be disappointed.

Kellyman Wedding

I had the honor of taking photos for a couple who got married at the courthouse, walked Lake Eola and then had an elegant dinner at Crave. I had fun shooting this for a friend who was already booked (thank you Jason!!!). This was a beautiful family and I had a great time capturing some memories for them.

Downtown Orlando in the Park

Here is another city scape from Lake Eola in downtown Orlando. I need to find a great spot to get some shots of the whole downtown area.

Crave.

This is just a sneak peek at the project I've been working that's been keeping me from blog time. I shall have a larger reveal here soon and on Facebook. In the meantime, check out some more teasers by clicking on my SJP logo at the top right of this blog page.

A Walk in the Park

After a small crop and a little color play, I couldn't stop working with this photo. It looks like all of the photos in my mom's albums from the 70's. I'm going to do a project with photos like this for her birthday to put in the house....she loves this stuff!

Miami in Orlando

I took this yesterday at Lake Eola while waiting for a client. All I hear is "Drink all day, dance all night..."

Smile For Camera presents Takeovr @ Roxy!

   I had the opportunity to get out for an evening with Dan and go to Roxy in downtown Orlando on February 1st. With permission from Smile For Camera (http://www.smileforcamera.com/) management, I was able to snap away all night. I can't thank Kevin enough for putting us on the guest list and allowing me to bring my digital appendage! 

   Upon entering, it seems as though Roxy is a small room with a bar, a small dance floor with an elevated DJ booth and a few places to sit. But wait until 11 p.m. when everyone starts to pour in! Once the dividers are opened, and the crowd dances its way into the main room, all hell is let loose.....

Brightly colored lights. 

Strobes. 

Girls dancing on poles. 

VIP guests getting crunk. 

And slammin' DJ's playing dubstep and some of THE best music since your mom has been to a live Beatles concert. 

So go ahead and sip on your free drinks, ladies. And guys, they didn't leave you hangin'. You can have $2 PBR's until 11:30, then they turn into $3 tall boys for the rest of the night. And for the few of you gangsta's, go ahead and carry around that 32 oz bottle of Old English.

   I know it's been a while since I've been out, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. SO, if you get the chance, head over to Roxy on a Tuesday night for Takeovr! Oh, and "LIKE" Smile For Camera on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/smileforcamera?v=wall) for weekly events and to find out where to go to have your picture taken having a good time!!!!
