Back at the airpport . . .

Here I am again . . . at the airport getting ready to head to Texas. Two trips to Texas in one week - crazy. I should have just stayed - those Texas photographers are awesome! I'm super excited to be a part of the WPPI Road Trip and thrilled to give my program tomorrow morning. They're expecting 200+ so it'll be a good group to speak to. The program is a mix of business and marketing with some humor thrown in along the way. Jamie did a great job at the studio to help get me ready - muchas gracias!!! Even though I'm not looking forward to the flight - I hate to fly - I am looking forward to seeing some familiar faces . . . yee haw!

SWPPA Convention

Just got back from a great trip to Texas for their state photography convention. As one of the AZPPA Southwest Region Representatives it is my job to attend the yearly convention and let me just say . . . those Texans know how to do it right! What fun! I always love meeting new people and when they are photographers it's an added bonus. It was also fun to reconnect with old friends and see faces I haven't seen in a while. My term as the SWPPA Rep. is for 5 years and I'm looking forward to every single one of them. Here are just a couple of pix of some of my friends - Julie Klaasmeyer, Elizabeth Homan, and Rachel Glyda, Dale Holladay and his wife Janice (he is the other Rep.) with the President of the SWPPA (Don Dixon) from the night of the banquest. And I had to include one of me performing one of my favorite party tricks :)

New Cutie Patooties

Oh my gosh . . . we had such fun 'playing' with Little Emma and Payton during their session this week. Payton was such a happy little munchkin and had us cracking up with her 'big girl' smiles. And when Aunt Kay accidentally stepped on her finger she hung in there like a trouper. I have no idea how I managed to trip myself - thank goodness I was barefoot! And even though little Emma had a double ear infection she gave us as much as she could and then some. A great big 'thank you' to Jody for bringing such lovely, sweet and fun cutie patooties into the studio. Your holiday cards are going to ROCK!
Jody brought in some really cute clothes she found at UrbanKidz (http://www.urbankidzwear.com/) and when added to the tutu's we had here . . . whalah . . . instant cuteness.
If you haven't had the chance to visit Jody's store, Vintage Villas (http://www.vintagevillashome.com/) in Scottsdale . . . you MUST go!! It's filled with all kinds of amazing home decor items, awesome furniture and unique gifts. She's has true talent and you'll absolutely love her energy!!
And if you're interested in sessions with tutu's we have them in just about every color . . . fun for the holidays :)
