rain rain go away

and please take the humidity with you!! so much for not turning the a/c on in May!! it is on and keeping us all nice and cool!!
One great thing about the warm weather though is the fun clothing! Granny bought Brianna this adorable ballerina suit back in the early spring and finally she can wear it outside. She had so much fun dancing and prancing around! I may have to sign her up for lessons... too cute for words!




Hope you all are keeping cool too! :)

my most handsome nephew

ok so it helps that he is the only nephew, but man is he ever gorgeous! The whole family is beautiful so it is only right that he would follow suit. This was my first visit with him as they live quite a ways away. So without further adieu, here is my gorgeous little nephew, Anthony! (and his family)

Hotlanta, wrapped up!

OH my GOODNESS! how could I have so much fun and learn so much all in one day? Nate and Susan are brilliant photographers and fantastic instructors. And I now have a new phrase "oh ya that's hawt!" LMBO! Great techniques learned, very cool fellow attendees, I wish I wasn't so far away!~ I also got to meet and hang out with another online photog friend (g'day Malin!), who took me for the super duper Atlanta tour and to a local yummmmy noodle house! We chatted and laughed and ate and drank until the restaurant closed! Too fun!

Anyway without further adieu here are some pics I took at the workshop. Thanks again to Nate from The Image is found and Susan Stripling who took time away from their sweet families to run a kicking workshop for us!!
(the photos are super small- saved for web, click on them to view them a bit bigger)

despite being away from home and no alarm clock, I still was up with the sun, just a little bit excited I think! ;)



Nate showing us the ins and outs of his posing.... too funny!!

and here is gorgeous Jesse working it!


Nate and his Gitzo(the stick!) must have one!!!

Happy first birthday!

This little girl was such a princess!! Oh my goodness too cute for words with eyes that could match swimming pools for depths of beautiful blue! Wonderful loving family, which I am constantly amazed with! I have a relatively small family and I think one of the neatest things about this job is getting to kind of join in on the best and most special of events with families. So great to see how other people celebrate life and family!

And without further adieu, here are some of my favourites!

I love this man



I don't post photos of my hubby that often, but I just wanted to today. I got this fun shot of him yesterday and love that it has truly captured the essence of the gday bloke!! He encouraged me and supported me though all the ups and downs and has been my best cheering section with starting the business. So much so that when I mentioned there was a workshop coming up in 2 weeks in Atlanta with my favourite photographers in the whole world Nate Kaiser of the image is found and Susan Stripling and that I really really really wanted to go. He didn't even bat an eyelash. I am so excited. These two photographers are top wedding and portrait photogs in the US right now and I'm going to be spending a day with them! Absorbing like a sponge everything I can! This is really great news for all the wedding couples I have booked for this summer! I can not tell you how excited I am!

And a couple more photos, just cause that is what I do!! we got a new car last week, his name is Baxter! LOL!




I especially love the last one, although it's not great technically, I love the look on Brianna's face... just adores Daddy!! Happy Thursday all!
