Everything looks great! The site is easy to navigate and clean and fresh. Just a tip, if you can on the blog, make it so links can be right clicked or automatically open in a new tab. I waited for a long time for the blog to download and when I clicked the Elle Decor link, I lost your page and had to reload again.

This fun family contacted me before Christmas to capture a few images for their holiday cards this year and also to document their time in Santa Barbara, they are moving soon and wanted to remember their favorites spots about town...it was awesome because they had all the locations scouted out and picked some pretty cool places.  We ended up at the beach, the bluffs and a very cool lemon grove!  Check it out!

It's still raining here in SoCal and I'm fighting to stay awake!  I am briefly reminded of times that it rained while I was in college and I would promptly roll back over and tell myself that it was too dangerous to walk to class on those slippery bricks...I was a stellar student, I swear! :)  In my fight to stay awake this afternoon I remembered that I casually mentioned my trip to Charlotte for a portrait event but never blogged it!

About a month ago I participated in the 7th Annual Charlotte Mommies Birthday Bash...Charlotte Mommies is a popular and useful resource for well, mommies in Charlotte!  I was pumped to be there and met tons of cool parents and cute kids.  I also have a few more details mentioned on my children's blog.

A few shots of my table from my point and shoot (oh and mad props to Characters Bar in Monterey for keeping our camera waiting for us after Mike and I accidentally left it there one night after excitedly watching the Angels beat down on the Red Sox):

Hey y'all!  Just wanted to drop a quick note on the blog that I am in Monterey this week for children's portrait sessions...in case you're not in the loop, please check out my children's blog HERE for more details on all things portrait related!!!  If you know anyone who needs a hook-up in Monterey in the children's photograph department, then feel free to forward this blog post on.  Happy Sunday!

I *heart* Monterey:

Wow, I think this has been the longest I've gone without blogging...and I missed it!  Needless to say, it's been a whirlwind month of travel and it's not over til it's over.  Mike and I will be traveling out of the country next week for some much needed R&R and to celebrate our birthdays and then I will be back to Charlotte...after that, things should settle down back into the old blogging groove  :)

Time for a bit of housecleaning:
-I'm sure you noticed that my blog was down for the past week (due to hosting and server changes---breakups are just so hard!), which is also another reason why I haven't been blogging...but now, thanks to Annmarie at Into The Darkroom and their stellar team, my blog is back and running like never before.  
-Because of the new server and hosting changes my email was down for a few days...if you sent an email and haven't heard back from me yet, please send another one and I'll respond ASAP!
-My new wedding website is currently in the making and should be due out in October---yay!!!!  In the meantime, www.whitneyelizabethphoto.com is now redirected to here so potential clients be sure to email me here for portfolio links :)
-The Resource Room will return this Thursday PST, be sure to tune in ;)

OK, enough housecleaning, no one likes to clean anyway...when you fly as much as I do, you're bound to run into a few travel mishaps...Friday night my flight didn't make it to Santa Barbara due to weather, etc but fortunately I was able to get here on Saturday so that Mike and I could start celebrating his birthday!  We had a super fun and relaxing day yesterday, which of course, just made Monday even more difficult to face, but it's all good!  While I was gone, Mike essentially took over my business and accomplished so many things for me!  All his hard work has earned him employee of the month, starting with a company lunch at The Burger Bus tomorrow  :)  Thanks Mike, I seriously-honestly-never-would've-gotten-it-all-stinkin'-done-without-you!!!!  Wonder if that could fit on an employee of the month trophy?  Hmm...

Anyway, Happy Birthday Mike!!! I love you :)

So be sure to leave my awesome husband some birthday love comments :)

Quick point and shoot image from breakfast yesterday...which was followed by a sun-filled beach bum day, movie and scrumptious dinner at our fave Italian joint in Santa Barbara.

So why was I gone again?  Oh yeah, all the babies!!!  First I had to bring Jackson back to NC...we miss him so much!  Here is the new Snickers spokesman!  He cracks me up :)

Benj was very interested in his new little sister and his baby girl cousin...he wasn't quite sure why they kept crying though....

Addison is two weeks younger than Molly and was still in the sleepy newborn stage when I left:

Molly looks like she could get up and walk any second now

The cutest cousins you ever did see (no, I'm not biased...nope, not at all...ok, maybe just a bit!)

And then, I got to meet up with my favorite girlfriends in Atlanta...check Alice's blog for pictures :) 


Sooo, enough about me, what have you been up to??!
