A Little Candy Bribery Goes a Long Way Edition:

My kids LOVE candy just like their Mama. Everyday they ask for some variation of candy, lolli, ice cream, etc. This candy addiction really helps me when I want to get some photos of them together. It goes something like this:

Me: Will you hold hands?
S&H: NO! Bleh!
Me: If you hold hand for two minutes and walk that way towards the candy store we’ll go inside and pick out a special candy for you.
S&H: Immediately grab each others hands and head towards the candy store.
Too bad when we got there the candy store had closed down. =( This little shopping center is SO stinking cute most of the stores have closed their doors. It is so sad.

The Cute is Enough to Melt the Coldest of Hearts Edition:

Oh my heavens, how I love these little kids! I SO wish Heaten was looking at me, but as usual, when the camera comes out he avoids me at all costs. =) I still love, love, love this photo. This very well may be my next gallery wrap!

!! <- See how excited I am!!! In two weeks I will be in WPPI heaven. Not only am I taking Master Classes from some of my very favorite photographers (Jose Villa, Alycia Alvarez, and Nicole Van Valkenburgh) I will also be attending some amazing Platform Classes as well (Jasmine Star, Audrey Woulard, Brianna Graham, and Elizabeth Messina)! Seriously, this is like Photographers Heaven. I’m excited to see all of the amazing trade show booths, meet some new people, and hang out with my sister. We will be staying at the MGM on Tuesday night to get a [really] early start for our Wednesday class.

Once again a HUGE thank you to my fabulous and utterly fantastic husband for supporting my dream and taking time away from work to stay home with the twinzies while I play the days away. I <3 you!

!!!!!! <- This excitement is for the Shoot Shop I'm taking with the Masters of the Universe, Nate and Jaclyn from The Image is Found. They will be hosting two Shoot Shops March 5th and 6th and are looking for two Couples to Model for them. Head over to their blog to read the details.

And last but not least a few more photos from my super fun session with Bethany and Paul!

Ok, so I may have exaggerated just a bit with the title. These two are not engaged…..yet. As my daughter Shenzie would say, “pretty soon”. Not that I’m in the know how or anything, but seriously, you can’t be this in love and not have big plans for the future.

Meet Bethany and Paul, the winners from my Couples Giveaway this month. Bethany and I go way back to when we used to work together at a bank while going to college on the side. I think we may have even had Macro Econ together (which I failed the first time around due to the 8am start time that I just couldn’t make). =) She is one of the sweetest and kind hearted people I know. I am, by nature a bubbly, happy, [loud laughing] person and love to surround myself with happy and positive people. Paul and Bethany fit the bill perfectly. We laughed and laughed and played and talked and even though I got attacked by cacti I had the best time!!!

Bethany and Paul’s love story is pretty awesome and shows you how great the internet can be. They went to high school together, were friends, maybe even had a slight crush on one another, but never got together. Fast forward 20+ years, living in different states, doing their own thing and WHAM! Facebook connects them and this time it is the real deal. Tru Wuv (ha, can you tell we just watched The Princess Bride). =)

This next one is Paul’s handiwork. While I was off getting eaten by cacti he snapped a few photos, pretty good work!! Of course with a subject as beautiful as this how could you possibly get a bad shot.

They had a hard time keeping a straight face since we were mostly just laughing the day away but you’d never know it from these next shot. Beautiful right?!?

Thank you so much Bethany and Paul for an awesome day and fabulous photos!! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you two, I know it is going to be great!

When Mama is Away the Kids Will Play Edition:


From upstairs I heard them giggling maddly, but hey, they weren’t fighting so I didn’t worry too much. Hahahaha, this is what I came back to.
