A talented photographer

Over the past few months I've had the opportunity to work with a very special vendor, David Baxter Photography, whose work and professionalism goes well beyond expectations. David's photographs are always stunning, breath-taking, and engaging. He really has an eye for capturing images with beautiful composition. But what makes David a great photographer is his ability to work with others. He is so easy to work with. He always listens to what the client wants, is able to understand your vision, and always has great suggestions. So if you are looking for a photographer for your special event be sure to give David a call. Below are some recent pictures that he took. Check out his website to see more of his work.

A patriotic arrangement

One of the neat things about doing work for the Skirvin Hilton hotel is that I get a chance to make arrangements for "celebrities." The other day I received a request to do an arrangement for a private gathering for Senator Hillary Clinton, who was in town for a fundraiser event. I wanted the arrangement to a have a subtle patriotic theme so I chose red dahlias & roses, white peonies & hydrangeas, and blue delphiniums. These beautiful flowers are balanced with green aspidistria leaves and hypericum berries.

After a few minutes the final product...
