The New Mrs. Shanee' Moore: I love the slideshow!!! Another great job!!

Ivan: Wow I can't believe they had two cakes. Loved the pics and it looks like you've got a new toy... maybe a 70 - 200? or a 185 fast prime. Eitherway, very nice.

Rosalind Taylor: Teresa, the pictures are great! Heather did you proud. Please accept my condolences for your grandmother. Be Blessed, Rosalind - Mother-of-the-Bride and now the Groom too!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be away from my computer and phone for a few days. If you received an email that your prints were ready for pick up. I will contact you once I am back.

I want to tell you about my grandmother, Granny. I lived with my Granny until I was 24 and joined the Air Force. My Granny raised me, my sister, brother and 4 other cousins after their mom died. After I left home and was an “adult” I knew could still call her to ask her questions, even silly questions, like is $1.50 a pound a good price for half-runner beans or what flowers can I plant in my front yard that do not require lots of sunlight (this was my most recent question, two Saturdays ago) or to tell her I found white squash here (she would mail me some every summer from NC). She never laughs, she just answers them and I can hear the smile in her voice as she answers. She still calls me sweetie when I call her and still jokes when I say “I love you granny,” that she has been loving me for xx years now. I just wanted her to get better. She was a great second mother to me and I will miss her dearly. I know the next time I think a “I know, Granny would know,” thought it will hit me. But for today I wanted to tell you about my Grandmother, my Granny.

This from a few years ago.

Granny

paige: T im so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you and your family. paige

Ivan: May the unmovable peace of God be with you and your family during this time. I'm sure that your grandmother was very proud of the person that you've grown up to be.

For the last couple of years I have had a blast photographing Cyndi’s Studio’s team and recital pictures. We completed the team pictures and still have the recital pictures left photograph. I couldn’t resist the tempation to share some from the team pictures.

To learn more about classes offered at Cyndi’s Studio give Cyndi a call at 740-532-1381.

Ivan: Very nice. I heard you talking on the phone about this shoot and I'm glad that you shared it with us. Love the posing/stacking and background.

When I lived in Germany there was a restaurant in downtown Wiesbaden, Mykonos, that I absolutely loved. It was a Greek restaurant and my very first experience with Greek food. I fell in love, I mean, I absolutely, positively, head over heels love at first bite. I could eat there every week and for a few months I did. They had yummy Greek Salads, gyro’s and moussaka. When I came back to the states I searched and searched for a Greek restaurant that was even close to what I had grown to love in Germany. Sadly, I never found it until, last September. A Greek restaurant opened in Ashland and I found my Greek food and made new friends. Chris and Effie Mitropoulos own and operate Chris’s Gyro. It is located in the KYOVA Mall. Effie prepares authentic Greek dishes such as moussaka, pastitsio, spinach pie, lentil soup, baklava and karitopita. I recently grabbed my cameras and headed out to Chris’. Here are some of my favorites.

If you would like to enjoy authentic Greek Cuisine visit Chris’ Gyro at the KYOVA Mall 10699 US RT 60 in Ashland, Kentucky. You can also place your order by phone at 606-928-2288. Tell him Teresa sent you.

Paul: Best Greek food I ever had... YUMMY!

Paul: I used to eat at several Greek restaurants while in Washington, DC, and Chris and Effie's food is the best I've ever had.

jbird: nice food shots!

Marianne Burdette: Please tell me you have not closed down. Went there today and you weren't there!!! Your food is WONDERFUL. I hope you are only renovating or have moved. Please let me know Thanks, Marianne Burdette

I spent last week photographing dance pictures for Cyndi’s Studio in Ironton, Ohio. Since I was alredy set up we were able to sneak in a quick session for Cyndi and her sister Teresa.
