….exciting new things!

February 3, 2012

So it’s been a while or actually way too long since I last posted!  I actually had to look up my login for my blog — not good!  I’m going to make my a better effort to document what I have been up to, going forward.  The fall was super busy and I tended to only post pictures on my fb page, which is great, but fb doesn’t always show pictures as nicely as here on the blog.  I also confess that not everything even made it to my fb page.  Well it’s a new year (albiet that we’re already into February).  Nonetheless, I am going to begin the year with a wonderful photography workshop I just atteneded.  It was the mj2day with Melissa Jill.  What can I say about it?  It was nothing short of FANTASTIC  (I would say AMAZING, but I completely over use that word and am trying to refrain! lol) Melissa is an extroidinary photographer, who I have admired for a while and was thrilled to be able to join her in in Phoenix this week.  She poured her heart and sole out in her workshop, which was delightful.  It’s not often that someone will share so much of there talent and knowledge, but she did, and she did so in such a personal and kind way.    I feel like she validated some of what I knew, while teaching me MUCH MUCH more!  I am extremely grateful for this experience.  Not only did I leave there with a wealth of information (yes my brain is on overload), I made 15 new friends!  How cool is that?

Part of the workshop included a mock engagement shoot, which included an already married couple, expecting their first baby! They were fabulous subjects and that beautiful baby bump made the session even more fun!  Not only did we have two gorgeous subjects, we also had some spectacular light!







Anxiously awaiting….

I had a wonderful maternity session yesterday with an old college friend and her husband (and of course spent the entire night dreaming about babies!!!) This session has been in the works for about three months now, and I can’t believed how quickly the time passed. There was so much excitement between these two people, as they await the arrival of their first baby! I seriously got butterflies in my stomach just witnessing thier joy and anticipation — their is no better gift than the gift of life and they have that! In just a few weeks, they will meet their precious baby. I was grateful to capture this special time for them. It was great to see you, Ludy and a pleasure to meet you, Pete! I am so happy for the both of you. I love they added element of surprise, where they do not know the baby’s sex. They do have names picked out though, so it was Pete’s idea to use the both names in a picture- great thinking!!! Here’s a quick glimpse of their session…
