Wicked Portrait Party 2010

I started the Wicked Portrait Party idea in 2009, with the idea to devote a night to hair,

make-up and fashion. A night for girls to network, "get gorgeous," and have some recent portraits taken of themselves. And not just any portraits... wicked, sultry, original portraits! Business women, housewives and mothers, women of all ages and backgrounds get together to enjoy an evening of fun. One of my main objectives was to give these women new pictures of themselves that might help them further their own careers.Photos for business cards, flyers ect... that could even help them pioneer new businesses! I work with some of Kansas City's finest hair and make-up artists!

Hair by Alyssa Davis, Make-up by Ashley Nelson with Unveiled and Scarlet Morehouse.

Goodbye Grandpa

My Grandpa Samuel J. Capra 11-19-1931 - 8-10-2010 was a Navy veteran of the Korean War and served 26 years with the KCPD. Survived by his five children, Joe, Dennis, Mike, Dan and Marla, 13 grandkids and eight great grandkids.

A character to say the least. :) Always had the better idea. A true Italian!

I will miss you Grandpa Sam!

Don't Miss It

“If we are not fully ourselves, truly in the present moment, we miss everything.” -Thich Nhat Hanh

Ever wonder if you are truly present in every moment?

For a large part of my life I've felt like I am watching a screenplay of my own life... present only for personal thought provoking commentary behind the scenes (in my head). Maybe that is why I make a pretty good photographer. I still remember the first time I heard the term "fly on the wall" referring to photojournalism. It sounded just right. I can stick myself in the mix of someone else's wedded bliss, capture a little bit of their happiness from behind layers of glass.

I love my job. But I don't want to miss anything. I don't want to miss my own life. I want to live VIBRANTLY in every moment. Sometimes it's hard for a "thinker" to keep herself fully involved in every situation of life. Experiencing all of the good stuff. Finding the place... the person... with whom you "fit”

I believe as the years go by, we can get so caught up with the chores. The day to day... We forget to be connected with our lives, our relationships, and our heart.

I challenge you, as I challenge myself. Don't forget to connect with your life, your art, your music, your writing, your heart, your little people, your friends, your mate and GOD. Take the time to listen, watch, and enjoy.

One life. That's all we've got. Don't miss everything.

Love Wherever It Finds You...

While taking a few senior photos in Loose Park yesterday… I saw an elderly couple stop to have a picnic. He tossed out a blanket for the two of them to rest. She began to unpack the basket. He surprised her with flowers and she leaned in for a kiss. The classic idea of growing old together with the love of your life… so sweet… so special… so lucky. “What a wonderful husband, he still buys her

flowers even after this long”

Wait a second… who knows how long they’ve been together… Who’s to say they are even married? And if they are married… they could be on their third marriage. Maybe they just met and got married a year ago. I ruined the mood. Sorry. Takes away some of the sparkle doesn’t it?

The fact remains, this sweet couple was in love and they are enjoying every moment together.

So here’s to LOVE wherever it finds you!

There is only one way to describe the passionate, deep, gut-wrenching, soul-moving, “heart on fire state” of being.

LOVE!

Suddenly, just moments away from the one you love can make you feel like you are missing part of your own physical body.

LOVE!

Who knew you could miss someone like water or air?

LOVE!

To every memory and every detail! To deep heart connections, and a lifetime with the one that you love!

LOVE!

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 CEV Love is kind and patient, never jealous, boastful, proud, or rude.Love isn't selfish or quick tempered. It doesn't keep a record of wrongs that others do. Love rejoices in the truth, but not in evil. Love is always supportive, loyal, hopeful, and trusting. Love never fails!
