and yes, I’ll be back again.  On Thursday I’m heading to Washington DC for a week to see my girlfriends, shoot SEVEN sessions, and help my friend Kim shoot a wedding.  Here are my crazy girls…

I’m sooo excited for all of it, but a wee bit stressed out.  Why be stressed out when it’s only Tuesday night (at least that’s what my husband wonders)?  Well, tomorrow Jake and I are going on an all-day field trip to Science City, I come home and drop him off, and then I’ll be at a photography workshop from 4-11 pm, and I fly out the next morning at 7am!!  When am I supposed to pack?  I suppose I could skip the blogging and get busy, right?

Well, this is why I’m informing you two days early that I’ll be out of the office for a week and may have limited phone access.  Please feel free to email and I’ll do my best to get back to you in a timely manner.

On another note, this week the blog passed 10,000 hits!  You go little blog! 

Yesterday I had the great pleasure of hanging out with the Michaels Family, and what a good looking bunch of people they are!    We got some great shots and had a lot of fun…

And a few just for fun…

Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil (is that how it goes?)  Can you guess why we did this pose?

And finally…little man tried to sneak in a few funny faces, so I thought I’d highlight my favorites (click to see larger).

Thanks Michaels Family!!

We had gorgeous weather on Sunday for this session and it was finally starting to look like spring! 

And guess who the star of the family is…

Thanks so much, Aunger Family, for such a wonderful Sunday afternoon!  I’ll have your gallery ready soon.

Have a great weekend!

Edited:  Okay, I think I have it working now!  I’m not quite so frustrated as I was last night   Check out Kayla’s slideshow below!

Ugh, I’m a wee bit frustrated tonight!  I was so excited to get Kayla’s slideshow created and wanted to post it earlier today for her, but I’ve been having some technical difficulties getting a code from Animoto to post in my blog. I decided to go another route and host the slideshow through YouTube.  The quality definitely isn’t the same, but hopefully I can get it fixed tomorrow. 

Even though for children and family sessions I do a completely different kind of slideshow, which is really kick-butt, I do love these little slideshows, especially for seniors…cool music, fun animation.  Now I just need to get it to GIVE ME THE CODE!  Have a good night 

A big huge thanks to Nikki at Expressive Style Graphics for my new blog header and gorgeous background!  I love it…it’s so me!

If you need some help pimpin’ out your blog, give Nikki a shout.  She’s so sweet and incredibly patient–and she has some mad skills!
