Jack is quite the ham and I love it! :) He's going to be a big brother very soon and I know he's going to be a fantasic one!

Thank you to Jack and family (including Bella)! It was great to see you all again!

Barb Uil, aka Jinky, is a fabulously talented photographer in Australia. It was inspiring to meet and learn from Barb as well as the other photographers that attended the workshop. I also want to give a big shout out to wire and twine for hosting it at their AMAZING home, studio and property.

I've been to the island a half a dozen times and lived there for a summer in college. It was the perfect spot for Sutton's first vacation! It's a photographers dream...

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 18:40:28 -0700 Just a quick post to say I'm back from vaca! I'm up to my eyeballs in emails, orders and scheduling but I have lots to post from my photography workshop and vacation on Martha's Vineyard as soon as I can! But I can't blog without at least one photo, so here's my little man, 6 months old (!) on my favorite beach in Edgartown.

Sat, 21 Aug 2010 15:38:04 -0700 I'm back from the Jinky workshop which was AWESOME (more on this later) and off again to Martha's Vineyard for a much needed vacation! So the blog will be quite this week but I will have TONS to blog when I return. Keep your fingers crossed for me since this is the first time Sutton will be flying!!! I don't want to be THAT woman. You know the one with the screaming baby!!! I think I may just have a panic attack thinking about it so let's talk about something else...

Here's some photos of story time from last week.

Yay! I'm SO excited to meet the other photographers and improve my skillz. I'm not sure how much (if any) internet access I'll have while I'm at the workshop so I will answer all emails when I return! :)

Now on to BEAUTIFUL Miss Maybree! I had the pleasure of photographing Mom while Maybree was still in her belly and I was back a short time later to meet her little newborn self! So I was so excited to hear from this family again so I could she how much she's changed in one year and OH BOY Miss Maybree is now RUNNING around! ;)

If you're unfamiliar with the Theatre Bizarre, it is the MOST insane Halloween party you will ever attend, period! The Bizarra Bazaar was a great opportunity to check out all their hard work and talent in the daylight so, of course, I had to snap a photo or two!

By the time I found out about it and got over to take some photos the demo had already begun.

I had my Mom dig up a couple photos. This was taken in 1982, my first day of kindergarten, check out my killer dress! My Mom, the redhead in the photo on the left, was pregnant with my brother. The boy and the woman in the photo on the right, were our next door neighbors and our families are still close friends to this day. He went on to become a professional soccer player. And to think I was annoyed that he always was trying to get me to play soccer with him! :)

Now

My brothers first day of kindergarden, 1988.

Now

Some of the playground equipment is still there from when I was in school.

If I remember correctly, this was Mrs. Wards third grade classroom when I was there.

A shout out to all the Hull Huskies!

It makes me feel like I have a new little friend although it does make it a bit trickier to take their photo. ;)

Meet Mariana and Cece!

Thanks to Mom, Dad, Marianna and Cece! You know I love you guys!

Ahhh. Good times that senior year of High School! But before he does that, he's going to a cross country running camp. It sounds like craziness to me. It involves a LOT of running. A LOOOT! Have fun Billy!

Thanks to Billy, his Mom and Sis. I had a good time hanging out with you all, even with the heat!

Just ask my Mother who loved to torture me, when I was growing up, by coming into my room singing to wake me up! TORTURE! But I digress... this family of four made morning fun! 3 1/2 yr old Nate kept us moving and laughing while little miss Addy was perfectly laid back!

I MUST stop here to make two comments: First, how HILARIOUS is Addy?! She has her supermodel pose DOWN! Face expression and all! Second, MAJOR props to Mom for this outfit!!!

Thanks to the "M" family!
