Walkin' Man


With steaks on the grill, Vinny had a blast in his walker running into, I mean, "helping" Dada.

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 Day at Grandma's


This is the old wooden high chair that my mom used for me when I was a baby. I'm only 25, but this piece looks like an antique!


Gotta have the the Kool-Aid man sippy cup. OOHH YEAH!!

A Serious Case of........

Baby Jiffy Feet! And although our house is clean, little boys always find dirt. It's science.

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..."

Miss Caitlyn


On short notice, I was requested to do a shoot for a friend who is putting her daughter in a pageant this weekend. And unlike "Toddlers and Tiaras", I refuse to put airbrush and glow effects on these photos...and her mother agreed! And with only with a few minor color tweaks, you can see that she doesn't need those effects on her anyway. Thank you Caitlyn, you are one of these easiest kids I've ever worked with!

Pizza and Popcorn

I felt it was only appropriate to add in photos of pizza and popcorn after the beer post :)

Corona with Lime, Please


This is actually one of my first and favorite shots from when I first purchased my camera. I have more but this was my personal best.

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!!!!

STS-133: Final Flight for Discovery

Since I am a day or two behind I figured I'd share these.

This is the final roll out for the space shuttle Discovery from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. I was fortunate enough to accompany my father-in-law to the press site area near the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). It was a very clear night and I wish the Discovery a safe flight and return. The projected date of launch is February 24, 2011. See the link below for complete info:




These photos were taken by Stef Jordan Photos on January 31, 2011.

How To Make Jiffy Pop!

1. Get excited to make Jiffy Pop.

2. Peel back the OPEN tab.

3. Turn over lid to view instructions.

4. Light gas stove to medium/low and keep package moving to make the contents evenly hot.

5. Allow the package to expand until you hear the popping almost stop.

6. Perforate the top with a fork to allow steam to escape and peel back the foil. 
Now indulge in the late 1950's popping creation!

First Real Wedding

Back in November 2010, I had the opportunity to be an assistant to a photographer friend. The groom was her brother so this was a little more intimate of a shoot. It was a beautiful day on New Smyrna Beach and the ceremony went great!

Check out this link to see the full wedding and other shots from the photographer Hilary Westerberg!




It's Ok to Play With Your Food, We Promise!


We let Vinny play with his food for the first time and he wasn't thrilled. He was a little disappointed that apple sauce is cold and messy, although it's one of his favorite foods. And ultimately he ended up doing what he hates most....taking a bath.

Vinny's First Petting Zoo


A free, traveling petting zoo came to Titusville January 28-30th. We saw goats, llamas, ring tailed lemurs, ponies, a tiger, and a camel to name a few. Vinny honestly had a good time and actually pet a goat for the first time.


Self explanatory.......
