Share the love..

Yep, that's what we did. Kathy spearheaded this "workshop" for some just starting out photogs and friends. The day was sunny and warm so we decided to walk around the lake by my house. It was very informal and so much fun. I have not shot with Kathy since before the holidays so this was exciting. We walked the lake, talked about lighting, angles and connecting with our subjects/clients. Yep, it's not all about the money....which is easy to get caught up in with this biz. The best part of the day was seeing everyone light up, get excited and be passionate about photography.  I even learned a new trick or two! Thanks again to everyone who went and like we said before, let's do this more often! I absolutely love this one of Kathy...this is her, she is so happy doing what she does...you can see it in her face behind the camera or facing it.  And beautiful Bianca....what can I say, the girl is amazing, a true talent and I can't wait to see more work from her.  Aaron....super cool, talented and funny! Gotta love that face!

Happy Mothers Day!

I am pretty sure my mom does not read my blog. Not because she doesn't want to but like most parents her age, the internet is a complicated thing. She has mastered the forwarding feature on her email which I receive daily and rarely ever read unless it's short and sweet. She has figured out how to attach a photo to an email and to send an e-card. She is doing pretty go for a 60 year old that's for sure.

Anyway, I got a card from my mom in the mail today. She always tells me cards DO mean alot to most people (I don't do cards for the most part)....and this card was nothing short of that!  I wish I would have sent her a card, but instead I called and wished her a happy mothers day. I am so blessed to have such a strong woman for a mom. She is loving, generous, funny, crazy and beautiful all wrapped up in one! She passed on to me her confidence and charisma and I am very thankful for that. I hope I can show my little girl how to be confident and to chase after your passions. So happy bealated mothers day again mom, I love you and thanks for everything. Oh and congrats on the Masters degree......now go get a job! HA! The pic is of my mom and and I when I was 2.5....the same age my twins are now.....time flies!

BumJuice Entertainment

BumJuice? What? So Tra told me that "bumjuice" is all her and her hubs call each other. She said it started way back in the day when they were dating. Hubs used to say "bumjuice!" when someone playing ball made a bad move, or good move, a great shot, a cheap shot, whatever.....she said she gave him a hard time for it but eventually it's all they ended up calling eachother. Oh and BumJuice Entertainment is the name of her company. I can relate, Josh and I have nicknames, slang, our own language really.It's what happens when you call each other your given name, it sounds weird. I can't imagine addressing Josh as Josh..he's my babe, hottie, honey ect....... It's what happens when you are with someone most of your adult life. You just become like each other, you speak the same language and it's just so easy to be a team. Sometimes you just give each other a look and you know what the other is thinking. So I had to chuckle when she told me the BumJuice story....

Tra hired me to help her update her headshots/lifestyle portfolio. I was happy to do and get to photograph the prettiest green eyes I have ever seen! She is a local DJ personality on Jammin' 107.5 from 10am-2pm everyday! Check out her show, you are sure to laugh! I am looking forward to all the new gigs she gets after the agency sees these ;) Thanks Tra, let's get you in the studio soon!
