Great morning in the studio last weekend doing one of my favorite kind of sessions… adorable little girl needing updated portfolio shots so we just played with clothes, hair and around the studio. LOVE!! (& isn’t she just too cute?)

I have a couple of fun things to share today… first off- I was featured in a book that was just published!! You can pick it up on Amazon here. It was so much fun to share a bit about how I do all my sets and share some images of my favorite little models in those sets ;) Looks like it is selling like hot cakes (only 19 left in stock today) so grab it fast ;)
I also have some bee-you-ti-full holiday hair pieces to share from Maya’s Curls… absolute perfection for those holiday photos and parties (looooove them so- even used one in my own Christmas card shoot his year) ;)
couldn’t resist… little sneak peek of the Christmas shoot ;)
Hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season… only three more shoots this year for me! Yippee!! :)

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving!! The start to the best season of all… :)
I was able to jump into the studio this week before all the festivities and have a session with these two lovely sisters. They needed their portfolio updated so we hung out for a couple of hours and made it happen. The perfect kind of session…

I spent the weekend in Denver. Sara hosted the most fabulous workshop. Many of the ladies already knew each other so it was this fun, relaxed vibe- conversation and laughs flowing all day. We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day and two of my favorite models (you may remember these two from my Breckinridge shoot here). Yes, a beautiful day with beautiful people :)

First I want to thank the Chic Critique Forum for hosting my webinar on Monday night. My cohort & stylist- Kim Adams- joined and we had so much fun and so much to talk about (went a bit over- oops). It was blast and wanted to let you know that you still have until tomorrow to download it (then it’s gone, gone, GONE!) You can get it here.
and now for some new stuff… ;)
I am sure many of you are familiar with Oopsy Daisy Baby. Well, they just launched a tween line (pretty much my favorite age of the moment) and I got to shoot it! Rain4life is everything the tween girl is- sassy, trendy, adorable & FUN! This is their spring & summer collection so it will be in your hands very soon ;)
