By the time you read this I will be somewhere in Nor Cal or Oregon...no, I'm not running from the cops ;) (although, I hope the superior court of LA received my fine for my speeding ticket--darn you, LAPD!)...anyway, I digress...!
Mike and I are on our way to NC/TN for Christmas, and yes, we are driving, AGAIN! Yeah, a lot of people have asked if we're crazy, but it's fun...really! Last year, we went a more direct route and you can check out that blog post HERE, but this year we are going very out of the way (that was my idea) and will hopefully be seeing tons of cool things we haven't seen before (like Mt. Rushmore) and things we haven't seen in years (like snow).
I plan on blogging most of the trip but that all depends on hotel internet-you know how that goes....!
ME: um, I was told you have wireless internet.
HOTEL: yes, we do
ME: well, why doesn't it work in my room??
HOTEL: oh, are you sure you're accessing the correct network? we're 8D9746561099OOOB42342123
ME: YES, I tried it 3 times already.
HOTEL: oh, well, um, we actually don't have wireless internet, we just borrow it from the hotel down the block so sometimes you have to sit in the parking lot to access it or it usually works best if you sit on the roof and the wind blows in our direction.
ME: greeeattttt
But in all seriousness, I will definitely be sharing images soon so be sure to check back!!
Bear is the main reason why we drive because what kind of mother would I be if I left my baby in a kennel all winter long?!
Soo this was about 8 feet of snow last year in Flagstaff and apparently we'll be driving through even more...not sure if that's anxiety or excitement I'm feeling...hehe.
Check back soon! :)

I never imagined 10, 15, 20 years ago that there would be this magical thing created called the "internet." I also never imagined that I would make friends over the internet, but I have and I'm here to tell you that it's pretty cool! Sometimes if you can't speak face to face, a fun email conversation or twitter chat is the way to go :)
One of the many friends I have made recently via online in the wedding industry is Kelly Simants of Sweet Pea Events, LLC. Kelly heads up the Dallas, Texas office with her wedding coordinator extraordinaire skills and writes on the drool-inducing blog which is full of all things wedding: details, color palettes, inspiration boards, etc. Kelly so kindly featured snippets from two of my recent weddings...thanks Kelly! :)
The first is Katie and Matt's wedding--gorgeous blue details and the other is Lyndsey and Erik's wedding--fun, bright yellow accents. Be sure to check the blue wedding day details on Kelly's blog HERE and the yellow wedding day details HERE.
Happy Friday!!!

Yes, I have been slacking on the blog...but for a good reason: tons of shooting, fulfilling orders and traveling but I did manage to sneak in a really fun trip to one of my favorite cities to hang out with my favorite friends!
These girls are my biggest cheerleaders and motivators, plus they're just tons of fun to hang out with :)
Can't go to NYC in December without visiting the Rockefeller Tree...
And NYC is a great place to just walk around and play...and hold random photo shoots of each other...
Miss y'all already!
now back to regularly scheduled blog programming!

My dear friend and fabulous photographer, Alice Park, created NAPCP (National Association of Professional Child Photographers) this past year and it is already *the* place to be if you're a professional child/family photographer. NAPCP is holding a membership drive this month and they are giving away thousands of dollars in prizes--um, how cool is that?! Be sure to check out NAPCP on Facebook and Twitter to see the top 25 reasons to join NAPCP!

If you didn't read my post from yesterday, I just had my wisdom teeth out this morning and I just wanted to tell everyone who has sent me flowers, care packages, cards, emails and texts...THANK YOU---you're all brightening my day so much...geez, now I'm getting teary eyed!
Seriously, I'm such a lucky gal and I have so many things to be thankful for and I appreciate everyone taking time out of their day to check in on me...I feel so loved :)
