This is Shannon. She came to my studio for a pin-up session recently and we created some awesome portraits!! This one though, stood out as one of my favorites.
She had an idea for a good girl / bad girl, and I ran with it.

Or – to put it another way…happy 40th birthday to me!! Yup. In a few hours I’ll be 40 years old…hardly seems possible. Anyway, to celebrate this achievement (many thought I wouldn’t make it) I thought I’d have some fun.
While in Toronto recently to present a seminar on wedding photography at the NoBS Inferno, I asked my good friend, Kelly Scaccia, to help out with something dumb for my blog. She’s an amazing baby photographer so she was the perfect choice for a cake smash celebration! This was great fun to do, but I’d not recommend any adults doing this…least not sober! Even after a good shower I was still finding chocolate in my ears and nose hours later!!
Thanks to my awesome buddy James Hodgins for videoing the fun for me, and of course to Kelly for taking the pictures.







The 2nd of my surprise birthday portraits!! Hmmm….wonder what could be coming next!! Again, thanks to Kelly Scaccia for being behind the camera!
