I want to invite everyone to view my non wedding site, and take a look at a newly re-vamped feature on the website. You can order prints of any of the non-people photos on my website using the shopping cart feature!

Simply go to the site, and browse through the photos. If they are available for sale, you will see text on the lower right hand corner of the photo that says "add to cart." Click on this text. Once you are finished browsing and adding images to the cart for purchase, click on the shopping cart in the lower right hand side of the website. There, you will be able to choose the size and quantity of prints you would like, along with what you would like it printed on.

My photo lab has just launched special products for photographers to offer, including acrylic prints, metal prints and metal murals. I will have my own samples created very soon, at which time I will share them with you!

In addition to these new products, I also offer traditional prints on photo paper (on a variety of surfaces), as well as gallery canvases.

A portion of all sales will be donated to one of the many causes I support.

My trip absolutely changed my life. I have a brand new outlook on who I am, what I want, and what I will be in this life. My goals have become grander, if that was even possible, my heart has been reborn, and my inspiration for new photographic experiences has been rejuvenated.

I spent these two weeks (well, 12 days after the travel factor) with three absolutely amazing, sweet, kind and caring people (Lee, his girlfriend Krystina, and Ben). They made me forget about everything back in Chicago, and have inspired me to live my life to the fullest, as they've all done in their lives.

I kept a travel journal from this trip, and am still deciding if I want to post it or not. In the meantime, I will post some of my favorite images, along with a link to my facebook photo album on my photography page.

Thank you SO much again Lee, Krystina and Ben! The beauty, adventure, culture and unexpected surprises are things that I will continue to strive for throughout my future adventures in life.

As a side note, many of the above pictures were supposed to appear as panoramic shaped photos, however, they have somehow been cropped along the right side of the images. My apologies for technology being crappy.

To see more from my absolutely amazing trip, including FULL uncropped images, check out my photo album on facebook:

Because I Couldn't Resist...

I wasn't going to post anything until I returned to the states from my two week journey, but I HAD to share this one!

Two days ago, I woke up fully anticipating a nearly two hour chopper ride around the southern island in New Zealand. When weather wasn't exactly cooperating, I had to be a bit more creative.

For the record, absolutely nothing was going through my head the entire time other than how beautiful the view was, how cold the air was, and how my ears hurt because I couldn't pop them.

I can't wait to do this again!
