Elton was awesome!

We have to give a big THANKS to Mike and John from Videotronics for remembering our love story and inviting us to go with them and their friends to see Sir Elton.  Our first date was when Gregg and I photographed Elton John at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach.  He was doing it for The Daytona Beach News-Journal and I was shooting it for a local magazine.  Elton opened with “Your Song”, which became our song.  And Thursday night Sir Elton closed the night with “Your Song”… how appropriate.

Here are a few of the photos that ran in the newspaper after our first date.

Wow…how he has grown!

We’ve been photographing Philip since he was 3 months old.  It always amazes us to see the dramatic change from the first portrait in the “Watch Me Grow” Album to the last.  He has become such a little man.

By the way, we love the suit!  It was the perfect outfit for this session.

Children's Home Society's Puttin' on the Ritz!

What an awesome job was done by the CHS Women’s Auxiliary for the 2008 Puttin’ on the Ritz at the Oaks Mall this past Sunday night. Keith Watson Productions with the help of a lot of volunteers turned the mall into an amazing venue for this annual black tie affair.
As always, there was lots of great food. Everything from gelato to seafood. White Apron took home top honors as the best dressed booth.
