Beautiful Baby Mason

Isn't he beautiful? I had so many favorites, I just decided to share a bunch of them. I was there for over an hour and a half (probably closer to 2 hours) and he did not sleep the entire time. Such a beautiful, alert baby! Congratulations mom and dad, he's darling!

Welcome to the World baby Olivia!

Isn't she beautiful? Olivia was born on December 17, 2007 at 9:46 am. She weighed 8 lbs. 0 oz and is 20" long. Makes you want a gazillion babies, doesn't she?

Carly

Today I had a photo shoot with adorable Carly. Not only is she the prettiest little girl, but also the most fun and cooperative! I'm not used to my subjects being so cooperative with me. :) Thanks Carly!

You will be missed, Lynn

This morning at 1:20 am a very good friend of mine passed away very unexpectedly. Suzanne "Lynn" Miller. She is a good friend to me, a coworker, and a mother of her 21 year old daughter Amanda. I am still in compete and utter disbelief. She was only 43 years old. I can't believe she is gone. Please say a prayer for Lynn and her daughter Amanda. Lynn, I miss you. Rest in peace.

Today is the day I get my Alien Bees!!! I bought some new studio lighting yesterday and can't WAIT to receive it today! I absolutely loved the clean look it gives my high key photos (I test drove the lighting at a photography conference). I just had to switch lighting systems immediately after using them a few times!!

Mpix Fall Conference 2007 - Cincinnati

I had the opportunity to attend a Photography Conference this weekend, along with my Dad. It was phenominal. The amount of information I learned is just... well... indescribable! What an exciting weekend!!!!

Thanks to all the sponsors and the instructors who really dedicated the entire weekend to us. I learned so much!!!

And thanks for Shan for taking this AWESOME photo while being brave enough to toss his Canon 20D in the air. Gotta love that fisheye lens!

Is it raining Canon 20Ds?
