she’s gorgeous and so are you!

What a treat!  Heather Pearce (photographer and friend) is having a boudoir portrait session giveaway.  Ooh la la!  Because I think both boudoir & Heather are fabulous, I’m sharing with all of you.  When I started writing for this post, I tried to think of a few words that described Heather, and genuine and joy immediately came to mind.  So I had to giggle when I went to read her bio, and there was the word joy written all over it…so true!  Heather is a friend who has a smile on her face and laughter in her voice.

Her super spectacular giveaway is the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day or just to pamper yourself, so take a peek and give it a go!

Sigh…they get me every time! This was an in-between moment during a photo shoot for a project a fabulous friend of mine and I are working on (stay tuned for that!), and it was so extra sweet that I had to share.  I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas!

guilty pleasures

GLITTER!

I haven’t always been a girly-girl.  Perhaps being outnumbered by my husband and two little boys has changed that, because now I am all about dresses, tights, and accessories…most especially those that sparkle!  I don’t wait for special occasions either.  I’ll wear my sparkly best to a playdate or the grocery store any day.  Sounds innocent enough, but factor in my age (30s!), motherhood, and the shopping involved and glitter is a guilty pleasure indeed!

Thanks to Brandy and Danna at Two Photogs for the chance to be a mentee, and for motivating me to learn the self-timer function on my camera!  I was lucky to find their site just in time!

And thanks to my little ones for napping a little extra so I could get this done.

I’m in a blog!

No, not mine this time (although I’m glad you’re here)!  At last month’s PUG meeting, Gerald Pope of Gerald Pope Photography was kind enough to model for fellow photographers.  He gave a very cool  presentation on off-camera lighting as well.  You can see one of the photos I took in their latest blog post!  I’m so excited…that really made my day!    Gerald and his wife Airika are such a fun, warm, and friendly husband and wife team.  I love chatting with them!  Not only are they wonderful people, but their photography is amazing!  Be sure to check out their work!
