my intense little girl

i love this child more than my being can bear most days. if you are a parent you know this feeling. i could never quite understand it before having charlie.

she is a very intense person. passionate about everything. i love that about her. she wants to wear pink and dresses everyday. then she wants to be naked. here is the best of both. (:

bauman resources, prevail in business workshop

just want to give a shout out to jared bauman for his fabulous business workshop called "prevail in business". we spent the day talking about all those pieces of running a business that most photographers dread. if you are a photographer looking to expand your business and use your time more wisely there is a wealth of knowledge to be had from jared.

it was really nice to get actual numbers to work with. and the details were all discussed...in group discussions. it had a nice warm group vibe as we all shared our knowledge together as well.

i recommend him highly as a resource for your business. and he is just a nice guy. genuine and sincere in his wish to get your business to grow. thank you jared and i look froward to seeing you again soon!

shootstyle workshop, ogunquit, maine

so i went to this fabulous shootstyle workshop led by michelle turner, an amazing wedding photographer friend. check out the shootstyle site as they are a wonderful group of photographers that have a lot of knowledge to share. michelle was just great too, very open and sincere and just a lot of fun. not to mention her work rocks! i was very excited to get to spend time learning from her.

first off we heard from michelle about her posing styles and then we all went out with our models and took photos in various locations.

we had crazy high winds and it was very cold on the beach. we were all bundled up as photographers, but the poor models were freezing...they toughed it out and allowed us to get some great shots. a big thanks to everyone that was a part of this great day!!


here are a few of my favorites from that afternoon...
