For Shoe Lovers Only! Week #12

Over the past few weeks I’ve been preparing for an upcoming trip and giving a lot of thought to what shoes to pack.  Of course, I have to be very thoughtful about how many I pack because three weeks ago I experienced severe back pain and therefore, I am trying really hard to NOT over pack, and especially shoes. So I’ve packed clothes in the…

Seattle Restaurant Reviews: Part 2- Metropolitan Grill

The second restaurant I visited while in Seattle was the Metropolitan Grill (themetropolitangrill.com) located downtown. They were featuring a dinner special that I took advantage of.  The Met, as it is commonly called, is one of several high-end steak houses in the area. It is known for its custom dry-aged Prime Beef. I was very…

For Shoe Lovers Only! Week #11

Two week’s ago my shoe lovers post was about DISCO Boots! I’d attended a birthday party and danced in those YELLOW disco boots all night! What I didn’t share is that I also went to an Omega Psi Phi Mardi Gras party on Friday night, and to a Charlie Wilson, Joe, and Kem concert on Sunday night!  I danced…

A Photo Shoot: The Seattle Skyline at Night

For Shoe Lovers Only! Week #9 – Miniature Shoe Collection

Over 15 years ago I began collecting miniature shoes.  I started collecting them after spotting the Just the Right Shoe miniature shoe line by artist/designer Raine at a Hallmark store during a business trip.  It was another way to feed my shoe fetish, and would replace the purchase of souvenir t-shirts and coffee cups!  I’d traveled a lot…

The group currently consists of singers, songwriters, producers, engineers, a rapper, and me the photographer. My daughter (Jaelle) is one of the singer/songwriters and she along with these talented artists are on the…

Panache Restaurant, D.C.

Last night my BFF and I had a night out on the town! Prior to attending a comedy show, we had a fabulous dinner at a restaurant where we hadn’t dined before.  We went to Panache Restaurant in D.C. Panache Restaurant offers only the freshest local produce and top of the line ingredients. An assortment of…

Track Meet Photo Shoot

Yesterday, two of my young nieces competed in the USATF PVA Track Championships in Prince Georges County Maryland.  They traveled from New Jersey to attend the meet, so my daughter, her friend and I met them there. Not only was it an opportunity to see my family, I was also able to practice sports photography.  I…
