Maggie – Slate Hill, NY

I just had to share this wonderful email with everyone!

Hi! The beautiful photographs arrived yesterday afternoon. Thank you so very much. I also loved the beautiful packaging they came in, and the care you obviously took in sending them to us. I am sure my Mom and Peter’s Mom will love them. My personal favorite is the picture of Peter and Katarina. I have already passed along your name and website to an art teacher who works in the school where I work. She was interested in seeing your photographs. What’s that old saying about “word of mouth” being the best advertising! Take care and thank you again! Sincerely, Maggie

The Savage Family – Algiers Beach, Sanibel Island

I had the good fortune of meeting and photographing the Savage family this week on Sanibel Island.
If you follow the news you will be familiar with Carolyn Savage and her family. Both Carolyn and her husband Sean were interviewed by Meredith Vierira of the ‘Today Show’ and had interviews with CNN and all of the major networks. They are coming out with a book which is being released with the help of publishers ‘Harper Collins’ which is the reason for the photo shoot.
She was the victim of a terrible medical blunder whilst receiving fertility treatment. An embryo from another couple was inadvertently placed in her by mistake. She consequently carried the baby to its full term and then gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. She and her husband Sean handed it back to its rightful parents 5 minutes after the birth.
This is a very brief summery of a very complex story.  I urge you to look into this amazing situation or even better, purchase the book. (Release date TBD) I wish them all the best with their future and as I discussed this morning with Carolyn, ‘karma’ has a habit of going full circle. You and your family have large amounts coming your way, of that I’m sure.
