It's been a while since I posted a photograph, so here's a new one of my favorite and most willing subject. Also, check out my new watermark at the bottom right -- I think it's much more professional.

approved!

Good news.... kp creative ltd. is now an official business! Stay tuned for a link to my website, which I plan on finishing up and debuting by the end of the summer.

The Bride Ideas website is finally up and running! At this point, I'm still working out a few kinks here and there, but for the most part, it's finished. You may visit Bride Ideas here.

I also enjoy taking photographs of natural objects -- like this tree in Jamaica. I thought the way the sun was shining through the flowery tree like a star was really pretty. I also like the little rainbow sunstreak at the bottom left.

I like taking pictures of animals, particularly my own black lab, Bailey. He is very photogenic and makes it easy for me to take photos of him. He seems to like the attention. :)

The Bride Ideas project has been a great one so far. I have been able to be a part of a brand-new wedding consulting business, creating the logo and stationery for Bride Ideas (as well as coming up with the name). I hand-drew all the above graphics in Illustrator. A Web site is in the works.
