I've mentioned on my blog before how I'm apart of this awesome association called NAPCP-National Association of Professional Child Photographers...well, now, I want to give a quick shout-out because NAPCP just launched their brand new website/blog/community for parents and photographers! The new website is just beautiful and already has lots of great blog posts for parents...some of the upcoming topics will consist of recipes (who doesn't like new recipes?!) and finding a photographer that's right for your family, so go on over and check it out! You will also be seeing some blog posts from yours truly on home decor using photography as art and other tidbits :)
Happy Wednesday!

I've been under the weather the past week and I'm ready for my fever to turn into Spring Fever! Don't be fooled--we all know it will get cold one more time before it finally starts to warm up :) By the end of summer, I'm usually tired of hearing weed whackers and lawn mowers all day long, but I'm happy to hear them now because it signals warmer weather and long, sunny summer days! Oh yeah, AND baseball season! But that's another post.
This past weekend I joined my fellow Junior Leaguers for a big event that we put on and I showed up as the photographer! The new members put together an amazing community event called Kids in the Kitchen. It's purpose was to raise community awareness about obesity and there were several physical games and activities going on and there was a mini cooking class for the kids with a professional chef-the thought behind targeting children is that if we can get kids involved, maybe they will encourage their parents to cook more healthy meals and engage in outdoor family activities.
Look at her go! My clumsy self would probably pull a geriatric stunt and break a hip...
Extreme relay races!
What is this little girl holding, you ask? It was a slimy simulation of what 5 pounds of fat looks like in the body. I was really looking forward to having a greasy, gooey grilled cheese sandwich for lunch that day, but begrudgingly ate a salad after seeing this!
Learning culinary skills
Happy Monday!

Name that song! I just realized so many of my blog titles are song lyrics...hmm.
Anyways, YAY for Friday! Thought it would never get here :) I'll be out of town for the next couple of days--I'm heading to Vegas for one of the biggest trade shows and conventions in the photography industry, WPPI. It's a pretty big deal, especially this year, because it's the 30th anniversary. WPPI holds their conference in Las Vegas every year so it's good excuse to get out of town and party, no, I mean, learn valuable business lessons and network!
If you need to get in touch, the best way will be email--I'll be back on Wednesday! :)
Here are a few pictures from different Vegas trips...I'll be sure to blog a few images when I get back!
Now this is my kind of gambling! ;)

Lots of exciting things happening today on this random day in February! My wedding website launched this morning!!! Please visit www.whitneyelizabethphoto.com to view!
This website has been quite the project over the past year because I started out with a few different ideas and then scrapped those ideas...but eventually an idea was hatched that formed into what my website is today! I am so happy to finally have my portfolio back online!! My blog url will continue to stay www.whitneyelizabethblog.com.
Here is a fun screen shot of my websites homepage:
Also, today is my blog's one year birthday!! I can't thank everyone enough for visiting, commenting and sharing the ride with me this past year! To see my very first blog post one year ago click HERE.
It wouldn't be a birthday celebration without a cupcake and birthday candle! :)
I still make a wish when I blow the candles out :)
Yay! Happy Tuesday!
Heidi says:
