Asheville, North Carolina

 Finally I visited Asheville , North Carolina.
Asheville is a great destination for those who love art, good food, vine, beer, live entertainment and nature. It is a perfect location for a romantic getaway as well. You can stay in one of many charming B&B.
Everything in Asheville is about enjoying the life.

 

They love bright colors around here.

Don't walk by if you are on a diet.

Would you expect fun sandals like these in a mountain town? I am moving there right now.

Enjoying my coffee break at the charming little cafe. 

We stayed at wonderful Princess Ann Hotel and could not be happier. 

When we arrived, we were greeted by Tori, very pleasant and helpful receptionist. She was always cheerful and ready to offer an advice on local attractions. When I saw the hotel, I though what a lovely place for smaller wedding and learned that just recently there was a wedding there and Tori helped planning it. She was very excited about it. I wish that she can plan many many weddings in the future. 

Common area with antique furniture, piano and fireplace.

View from the lobby towards the dinning room.

Breakfast 

The elegant and cozy dinning room.

This is one happy town,  I will be visiting often.

Cafe Matisse, the best dinning experience in Nassau

For the best dinning experience on island of Nassau, visit Cafe Matisse.

.

 Well hidden from the cruise ship crowds, in this yellow building, hides the  treasure of the island.

 Cafe Matisse was the best dinning experience on the island of Nassau and made the whole trip even more special .  It was everything one would expect a romantic dinner to be. The atmosphere was fabulous, tables lit by candles, live music with saxophone player walking around the tables to play romantic tunes to you, the very attentive server, who appears when you need him and does not interrupt you privacy. 

View from the best seating in house, hidden terrace that is reserved for special guests only. For some mysterious reason we were offered seats here. And we most greatly appreciate it. We were treated like a special guests and felt very special. Cafe Matisse will be on my favorite list and next time when in Nassau, I will be visiting again. I will go for dinner and for lunch as well. I have to go during the daylight, just so I can take more photos of this wonderful restaurant.

My first trip to Bahamas

Just returned from my first trip to Bahamas and it was absolutely beautiful. We visited island of Nassau and stayed at British Colonial Hilton . It is a perfect place for romantic getaway.  British Colonial is located right in downtown Nassau, has a private beach, garden, pool, fabulous view and great service.

Love this pink house with white shutters. 

The ocean around here really has that turquoise color as I seen on posters. 

The palm tree on white sandy beach was  my first favorite poster I hung in my room as a teenager. 

Love the pink and green color combination, so bright, fresh and happy.

What a wonderful place for a romantic getaway.  I can see why many couples choose to get married in Bahamas, making islands a popular wedding destination. 

Boudoir, Chicago style

CHICAGO BOUDOIR, URBAN, SMART, SOPHISTICATED, SEXY

That's what you get when you combine great location somewhere in the city of Chicago, preferably with the view of Chicago skyline with hot looking girl who loves to be photographed and show of her sexy side. And off course you have to have somebody like me, the photographer who shoots boudoir, pin up, vintage sexy or old Hollywood glamour. I do travel to any location, so call me up and let's make plans for your personal hot photo shoot.

Silver Beach Carousel, HS senior portrait

Silver Beach Carousel, what a wonderful place for HS senior portrait. It wasn't an actual senior portrait, it was a promo photo shoot with my spokesmodel Lindsey. Lindsey is great, she is beautiful, smart, nice and fun. She enjoyed the experience,  had fun riding the carousel and was smiling pretty much the whole time. What a wonderful spokesmodel did I find, lucky me.
