Meet Shan Coleman – Reggae Artist http://www.shancoleman.com/

Belli Vita – Belly & Body Casting   http://www.bellivita.com/

starI have had the pleasure of working with both of these great artists.
I just met Shan and was overwhelmed by his sense of spirit and his smooth flowing reggae style.
We had a wonderful photo session. Several of my images are featured on his website.

Laura Marie is another great artist. She has an eye for design and color and it shows in her belly castings.
I have photographed many of her pieces that appear on her website.
Stop by to see her castings.

and of course, the fine art work and portraiture of Gail Ann Photography.

We look forward to seeing all of you at this end of town.

Princess Cruise Light the Night Walk

gailannphotoLeave a comment

I was honored to be part of the first  Princess Tours  Light the Night walk on the Golden Princess for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  The team raised about $1,500 for their first event!

On Saturday August 8, 2009 ~  66 employees, friends and family from Princess Tours walked for a cure. The event was great, the ship donated hors d’ouvres & water, we had balloons tied to sticks (no helium on the ship), Kerri & Evan Dubicki (part of the #1 team in Seattle- The Little Engine That Could) joined us too.  Kerri told a very compelling story of how Evan at just one year’s old was diagnosed with Leukemia.  Evan was a great trooper, running around and proving that research & treatment do work.

Got Pierogis?

gailannphotoLeave a comment

Watching the travel channel one day we caught a glimpse of the Pierogifest in Whiting Indiana. Seeing as how we have relatives in Chicago we decided to make a quick trip back home and see what all this silliness was about. We spend the day at the Pierogifest eating good polish food, listening to the Polka band, and a Polish Elvis! Bought myself a pierogi bracelet, some pierogi soap, a pierogi pin, well you get the idea-Pierogi everywhere! To see more click here.

Lucy Girl

It’s always fun walking into an unexpected situation. It was too cold and foggy out so we just decided to do Lucy’s session at home! She was wonderful. She loves her cat Georgie – who didn’t run away from me and did rather well when it was his turn to smile. Mom wanted this session in order to capture what only happens once in a lifetime, the infamous missing two front teeth…Lucy clowned around for the camera but also gave me the sweet innocent look of childhood. Enjoy this little video!

Judy & Chris tie the knot in Seattle

gailannphotoLeave a comment

It was a special day when Judy and Chris went before the judge…to get married! Small and intimate, surrounded by family and close friends. We started at the Edgewater, moved on to Pier 66 and then headed for the courthouse for a very important date! Rings were exchanged and the happy couple then headed to Chinatown for dinner at Ho Ho Restaurant. Enjoy this little video.

Alderbrook Resort was the site of this beautiful wedding. While I felt like I went thru rain, hail, sleet and snow to get there upon my arrival there were beautiful blue skies and the perfect setting for the perfect wedding! Congratulations, Nicole and Tyler!

Groove City Band

I got to photograph five of the nicest guys you’ll ever want to meet. Together they are “Groove City Band” and they play regularly at the Muckelshoot Casino.  Some of them are based out of Albuquerque and we all agreed that the chile there is the best! Check out their webpage for details!

Studio by the Sound

It’s always an honor when one artist chooses another to be of service. I was tickled when Kathy called and asked me to once again do her ‘headshot’ for her website.  I walk past her colorful home everytime I head to my studio.  It’s bright colors always make me smile.  Wish my yard looked like that!  Visit her site at: http://www.studiobythesound.com/
