Proof that I am really friggin’ funny… ;)
First… the winner of the ZozoBugBaby dress is… Ela Dominguez!! Just email me your address and I will get it shipped right out :)
And next up… I just got back from a whirlwind trip to NYC. West coast to east coast and back in 36 hrs… the amazing thing is that I fit SO much in. I got to hang out an entire evening with my very dear friends, meet amazing new people through a friend here AND do a workshop with a SUPER fun group. We even had the talented & charming Rosanna Wolff come in and talk with us for the day. All in all, one of my best trips to NYC yet (though I would really love some good weather one of these trips- please? brrrr….).
We ventured out with four adorable models to hit the streets of Manhattan and take on a little punk, urban theme. Couldn’t do punk & urban without thinking Knuckleheads (of course) and we also added one of my favorites pieces ever by Bits ‘n Pieces by Kristin- come on.. what little girl wouldn’t LOVE a Beastie Boys dress?? (sorry guys- my little lady already has this one claimed) ;) Thank you so much Lisa for having me out and to all the ladies that came. I loved every minute and can’t wait to come back!

Work flow… let’s talk about it.
I am not a person that likes to spend a lot of time in the digital darkroom. I would much rather be out creating things to shoot or, let’s be honest- doing nothing photography related and living life ;) I have been doing the same basic post processing since 2007 and have gotten it down to a science. There are a couple of things I can guarantee when you look at one of my images… 1) I shot in manual. This is the best way to ensure that you are exposing & creating the images that YOU want (not what the camera thinks is best)… 2) I have edited the shot with one of Nichole Van’s Flourish Actions. Her Essential Color Pop is on every single image you see. Even if I ‘play’ beyond, I use her for a base. There are many FANTASTIC actions sets out there… I just found when I was trying to get my work flow as simple as possible that hers allowed me the greatest control in the least amount of time. I love that you can erase parts of layers, adjust the opacity, turn them completely off… she gives you a bundle of goodness that you can completely individualize to your taste (& video tutorials on how to use them). I also love that she updates her actions and comes out with new creations that are already customized to work with what you have. Aaand she just updated everything! She has a new batching feature with the color pop action I use (loooove… SO much quicker) and all new goodies for you to check out!
Here is where it gets good…
If you go visit her site and then come back and leave a comment on which product you like best and why then you are entered to win a $75 Flourish gift certificate! In addition she is offering my blog readers the coupon code ‘Flourish2011′ for 25% off. If you combine that with her current multi-item discount that will give you up to 50% off. Nice, eh?
You can check out Flourish Emporium here where you can find all of her actions, textures, presets, borders, and templates (plus the new versions of her Essential Color Pop, Essential Black & White, Antique Vintage and Urban action sets that I mentioned). And if you visit her Facebook page here, you can download a freebie action, texture and template!
Hope it this helps some of you with the editing questions that you’ve sent. I really do like to keep things simple (& pretty) so thank you Nichole for creating something that does that perfectly ;)
Don’t forget to check out her new site and comment below to win the gift certificate!! I will announce a winner this Thursday :)

Chelsea: What a great new site, I've been a fan of her work for a long time! I admire your ability to keep things simple... I'm not there yet.

Sue Gerard: I LOVE the essential color pop set. Use them on most of my pictures! (07.18.2011 07:52pm)
Dreaming Hollow Photography: I have been using Nicole Van's actions for a year and a half now. Since I am an action "junkie" I have bought and tried a bunch of different actions sets from other designers but I have ALWAYS come back to her SOFT COLOR POP action. As has already been mentioned, it offers fantastic tweakablity and it just plain makes my photos look Awesome. Every. Time. The time you save editing is just amazing. And she offers great customer service too. Her texture palette's are one of my very favorite artistic enhancing shortcuts....they are just plain cutting edge cool! I wouldn't use textures near as often but her palette's make it so easy, only takes a few seconds, and voila! Work of Art! LOVE all her stuff! (07.18.2011 08:13pm)
beka: I like the moody black and white! Thank you for the chance to win! (07.18.2011 08:31pm)

Troy Guillory: I use the Color Pop actions every time I sit to edit photos! (07.18.2011 10:19pm)

Tanya: No questions, no doubts - Essential Color Pop v2 is most impressive and provide with gorgeous results. Proofing for LR is also amazing. Don't forget take a look on PS templates. It worths every penny you spent. 100% period! t will not make a bad image great, but will make a good image better. It is very easy to use and the results are fantastic. I could use it on every image I have. (07.20.2011 07:34pm)

I am a west coast girl- the attitude, the vibe… the Pacific Ocean runs through my veins. I love to travel but I don’t feel at home unless I’m here. That said- my travels have final found a city that if I had to move to the east coast, I found my place. Boston, MA. It is charming, it’s friendly, I could sink into a laid back mode… and that Boston accent doesn’t hurt either ;)
It was a jam-packed visit- I got the chance to hang out with Renee & photograph two of the cutest little girls, photograph one of my favorite families and meet a new family that I can’t wait to photograph again. I also got to hang out with Kiki (The Measure Designs) and Jen (The Trendy Tot) for a night at Cheers. (Yep- those are two Trendy Tot originals on the girls below… check the end of the post for a GIVE AWAY!)
Boston charmed me… I can’t wait to return ;)
And a couple of family sneak peeks… ;)
Now for the GIVE AWAY!!! Do you want the adorable dresses in the first session? All you have to do is @reply me on Twitter or Facebook or comment here and tell me which one you want… I’ll pick a winner Thursday!

Thank you SO much to the [Framed] Show crew for picking me (& those of you that suggested me to them- I owe ya… BIG) ;) You’ve captured a day in my life in the best way possible.
And now with a silly grin plastered all across my face, I get to share this with you…

Toria: I discovered your work and blog after seeing this video on FaceBook (ZoZoBug) and I must say that of all the photographers who's work I have grown to love, no one has inspired me the way that you have! Your vision, your experience and your personality is all too familiar with my own. I'm just starting out as a photographer and still learning my camera but I’m learning quickly that photography is more than business for me. It's a creative passion and shooting just to please others does not make me happy. I want my photos to be a work of my ART! Thank you for sharing your story, it really hit home and I hope to be as great as you are someday!!! (03.10.2011 07:40am)
