I’m still trying to get back on Eastern time as I adjust from Vegas time…It was so great to visit with some *old* friends and meet tons of new ones! Thank you so much for all the support so many of you photographers and vendors have given me!  I’ve received many emails about my templates and *bundles* for photographers, so I wanted to let everyone know where to find more information about them (I know it was a CRAZE for so many of us in Vegas!) You can see the full list and details here: TOOLS FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS

All templates and bundles are $99 until March 31, 2009 -except the “Business Bundle” which is $199.  Mention WPPI show special to receive this discounted pricing…and you didn’t even have to attend!

Tons more to post about Vegas and lots of emails to catch up on…. In the meantime…. here’s a shot of our  Rings to Rattles PLUS class! We had an amazing group full of enthusiasm and talent!

okay… I truly think, no. believe. KNOW. for certain….that I worked harder than almost anyone else at WPPI this year (except for Kevin)…. I am inspired, motivated, drained, jet lagged, exhausted, hyper, excited…. you name it! I have been dying to share this PROMO video with some studio “behind the scenes”….so here it is…. ENJOY!

ps yea…this really is the FIRST time the windows were washed! *winks*

I always come back with lots of new ideas and goodies….and some stories! Wonder if there will be any further *sightings* THIS year?? ha!

So my sweetie got so worried about how often I get LOST (I’m all about my “5 mile RADIUS”!) and Kevin got me a Garmin for Christmas… I have been having a blast with it! I’ve experimented with the different voices…. At first I thought I was gonna go full blown AUSSIE (LOVE that accent! *smiles*)….but then I realized…they say some random things that I can’t understand….so I had to go American!

Right now I have Jack. We are *BUDS*! (for now! LOL! at least I can understand him when he says “Boulevard”! Not sure what’s going up down under?)

Also, I downloaded a whole bunch of “vehicles”… I have a tank, a carrot, a sleigh, a sportscar….I switch it around…but I have to say….I’m a huge fun of the PIZZA! (Let’s not talk about the fact that I’m not my NO CARB diet again…maybe that’s why I’m so Passionate about my slice of pizza? LOL!) But seriously….how cute is this? Who couldn’t enjoy driving around as a SLICE of PEPPERONI PiZZA? It makes me smile!

Okay, so *mama* saw them and loved them and gave me the *go* on a few more *sassy* shots… isn’t she just gorgeous?? I always love to get a mix of images… some you can display in living rooms and some that are more private and intimate.

Okay, I’ve been dying to share these pictures of this *little man*! I have been photographing him since he was just a *belly bump*! :)  He is not only adorable, but a total heart breaker CHARMER! He *IS* mister personality… and STYLISH to boot!  I’m sorry…is there anything much cuter than his adorable Burberry DUDS?

I know his mama is so proud because he also just made the cover of the current Tampa Bay Parenting! Check him out!

Here’s a few others from the session… total doll!

I can only share a few *sneak peeks* since this goregous mommy hasn’t seen them yet, but here are a few recent favs…. I absolutely loved her top from Isabella Oliver (You can check them out online here: Isabella Oliver) and some of these portraits are my favorites! I love too that they are beautiful and can easily be displayed anywhere in a home! We actually got quite a MIX (but the sassier ones will need her approval first! *smiles*).

P.S… I had to laugh when I busted out my *fan* and she said… “that fan is GOLD”!! hahaha! it’s sure to make anyone feel like a super MODEL!
