There is such a big cheezy smile on my face right now… My photos for Saurette has been featured on The Giggle Guide check them out.

Boy have I been overwhelmed with blessings after blessings lately… and I am thrilled to be able to share a little sneak peek.

I have had the pleasure of working with Saurette over the past month photographing Mila the daughter of actress Shirly Brener. Mila has been such a doll and so fun to work with. I love to hear her excitement over the all cloths from Saurette and watching her try to pick out her favorites (which they all turn out to be her favs). I just wanted to share a few out-takes from our last two sessions with you - I just love the connection she has with her mom and dad (Bruce Rubenstein).

Speechless… that is how I am feeling right now.  I was so honored to get the call from a fellow photographer informing me that I had been featured on Blog of Photographers.  It is so amazing to be featured alongside so many talented photographers that I both stock and admire.

So do you think you have a a great sense of style… maybe something that is a little bit funky at times… but you know to keep it real and uniquely you?

…or maybe you just crave the spotlight and the spotlight loves you too… you’ve got those poses down pat and you just love strutting your stuff.

It could even be that your personality enters the room before you do and your fun loving ways just can’t be denied.

Well, if you think you have what it takes and have an adventurous spirit -  or know someone who does and is a high school senior ( or looks like one  …shhh - what I don’t know won’t hurt) please contact me.

I have a funky little project I am working on September 12th in New Port and am looking for 3 to 4 lucky seniors to take part (hey… that means a free photo sessions of some sort).  Please email me and tell me a bit about yourself and please send along a snap shot of yourself - send all inquires to patrice@beautifullifeimages.com.

Let me first start by saying, I hope that this entry does not offend anyone - that is not my intent.

They say that the eye is the window to a person soul.. and I believe that it is a very true statement.  There are those eyes that are warm and inviting, some that are bright and bubbly and others that are cold and dark.  I knew that there was something electrifying about Debbie just from the enthusiasm that oozed out of her when we spoke over the phone.  During that conversation, her mother shared her concerns with me that sometimes during flash photography Debbie’s right eye tends to be red due to he having her pupil removed secondary to cancer.  I assured here that flash should not be a problem because I am a natural light photographer - no flash, no problem.  Well, when I met Debbie I instantly knew that my feelings about her were right on point.   Her smile stretched from one end of her face to the next and she was just bubbling over with  happiness - too cute for words. Oh… and back to the eye thing - I felt that her eyes were as beautiful and unique as she was.  Different or not,  her eyes just have a special sparkle in them that truly reflect her spirit.

During our shoot, we came across this wall that was graffiti with the saying Shit Happens… right away Debbie said that she had to take a photo in front of the wall (hmm… not something that I would normally encourage - profanity). Anyways, I thought…how fitting… yes somethings *@#! happens in life but we still owe it to our selves to move an and make the best out of life.  Good for you Debbie that you recognize this at such a tender age - I love your attitude and I know that you will have an awesome senior year.
