Mister R and the APPLE

Wow! 2 blogs in two days.. Might be back on my “roll” :)

This little guy just gets cuter and cuter! He recently celebrated the big *O N E* and it was fun to capture him at this fun age! He’s got some of the BEST EXPRESSIONS!

During the session, mom said… “Oh no, I forgot to bring an apple”… Apparently, Dad had requested an “apple shot” (that’s a first for me! LOL!)… I thought it was really cute that it was something to Dad.  I’m not a huge “propsy” photographer, though, I do have a few stashed around, mostly to entertain those *active* kiddos! However, I remembered that I had photographed the “students” at a preschool almost eight years ago and had bought an APPLE prop for the kiddos to hold while sitting in a desk.  I quickly ran to my prop cabinet and VOILA! Dad gets his “Apple Shot”! Ha ha! LOVE it!  Here’s a few of my favs…

Three letters. M. I. and A!

Wow… What a blog slacker I’ve been… and I was on a ROLL before! I have SO MANY things to share and beautiful sessions to show, so get ready for the “onslaught!”

I’ll start off with a WPPI wrap up… (yea, it was in February… SO? hee hee)

The annual international convention in Vegas, WPPI (http://www.wppionline.com/) was a huge success and lots of fun! It was also the busiest convention I have EVER attended. I was literally teaching & speaking almost every single day.

Kevin and I started the week with a GREAT group for our 2 day PLUS class, Rings to Rattles. We also did our platform class, Town Hall, Meet the Speaker, and spoke at our labs booth a couple times.

We did have one “date night”, where Kevin went all out and took me to an amazing steak restaurant there in the MGM and then went on to see the HILARIOUS, Wayne Brady. (of course he had to get the FULL experience and we got to meet him afterward! Very cool!)

Here’s a few highlights from the week…. check out my snazzy collage! (you can click it to see the larger version!) Looking forward to next year already!
