Workshop on the Waterfront…

This cool video was shown at the very beginning of the workshop. I think it turned out so cool!!!   It is a mix of all the speaker’s work.   I’m sorry it has taken me this long to post about my time there.  As soon as I got back, my schedule has been full force!  I have only had 56 sessions since I got back…  so there, that is my excuse!  Well, this post is LONG overdue. Back in March I had the opportunity to be a speaker at the Savvy Workshop on the Waterfront in Maryland. It was held at the gorgeous Inn at Perry Cabin where the movie The Wedding Crashers was filmed. It was a great experience teaching and meeting peers and catching up with old friends. Cheers to Marsha for hosting a wonderful workshop!

Here is a picture of all the speakers!My wonderful friend Catherine and I.Marsha, Jessica, Catherine and me.Representing Millers at the trade show. my lovely friend Whitney English!!!thank you to all the attendees who sent pictures of me in action! There is a video out there somewhere!  I hope I never see it, haha!this looks like I am texting, but really I’m adjusting my white noise app! :) seriously!I taught three different classes, little Ian was an angel baby, he gave me great shots for 3 hours straight!  Here are some picks of me teaching my post processing to the whole group!I want to thank my friend Denise at Matilda Jane for donating the most precious clothes for our little models on portfolio day!  Denise you made a lot of women very happy. You are the most generous woman I know!!!! Here are some pics from portfolio day.and here are shots of Inn at Perry Cabin. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend it!

2009 Christmas Cards…

Whoa… I’ve been a designing fool lately!  Here are my 2009 Christmas Cards!  Aren’t they so pretty?   For Photographers: they are available this week at www.millerslab.com!  These are just a few.  I will be designing a couple of more bundles!  Anywho, school started today so I will have some quiet time to gets lots of work done!  I sent my baby to Junior high, my second baby to 5th grade and my  youngest baby to 2nd!  82 days of summer we survived!!!!  Ok, I have only 15 spots left from August- December!  That is not very many, so if you are wanting to book a fall session for Christmas Cards… you should probably call very soon.   I booked up WAY sooner than other previous years. That makes me nervous for all my clients that are “last minute-ers”  First day of school pics to come!! Enjoy!      OH, big news… we have been working on a very special webblog :)   hehe… it is so dang cute, I can’t wait for you all to see it.  Everyone knows that I am a clothes FREAK!  I usually sell all my boutique clothes EBAY, but now I have decided to open up our own clothing blog.  I will announce it’s opening ASAP!   I will be selling mostly Sophie’s clothes and our photography wardrobe!  Our closets are overflowing!  It won’t be an auction site like ebay, but a one price buy it now type blog.  My house is overflowing also, so You  NEVER know what will show up on this blog!!!  I am so serious!  I’m in the mood to redecorate and clean out!  So this will be a really fun blog to watch!  STAY.

Matilda Jane ♥ Anticipation ♥ 2009

About a month ago, I had the privilege to shoot the Anticipation line for Matilda Jane.  I was a crazy girl ~ planning the style of the shoot, finding models, painting tires,  receiving the clothes in time for the “one” 70 degree day in midst of snow days (thank you God) all in a 2 day time period!  It all worked out somehow, and we had a blast!  Thank you to all the moms that let me borrow their babies!  Did you see the most darling clothes ever yesterday?  If not check out her website www.matildajaneclothing.com and her blog www.matildajane.typepad.com!1021831341219mjc1471113171162220211934561523263227242825130293337
