Speaking at the Pictage Partner Conference 2007

Speaking in Los Angeles at the Pictage Partnercon!

Every year at the Pictage Partner Conference in Los Angeles is a wonderful meeting of photographers from around the country.  I love the opportunity to go and learn from some of the best photographers in the industry.  Even more I love to see old friends and make new ones.  When I spoke last year I was amazed at the wonderful and kind response from everyone after I spoke.  Almost a year later I am good friends with many of those people.  I can't wait to see them this year.  I'm also amazed and excited that I get to speak again this year.  This time of the topic, "Family, Life, and Photographer:  How to do it all without losing your mind."  Over the past year it has been my biggest goal to be able to talk on this particular topic and to help others reclaim their lives from their business.  In the past few months so many things have become more clear to me and I'm so excited to share them.  I'm so hoping that it will help at least one person feel free from their business and exhilarated by it all at the same time.

Here's to a wonderful time in LA!!!

Harry Potter Opening Night!!!

Okay...so this is probably saying a little too much about us! lol.  The title should proabably read: 'Irresponsible mom lets her kids stay up until 3am!!' OR  'We're crazy Harry Potter Fans'. lol.

In the past on Harry Potter Opening Night we've felt our kids are too young to go to Opening Night.  We've all read every Harry Potter book a few times and we like to sit around and talk about what's going to happen in the next book.  The kids like to dress up and play Harry Potter and since we have an Emma she is always supposed to be Hermione. 

Yesterday on a spontaneous whim we decided this was the year to go for it.  The kids and I all huddled around the computer for about an hour holding our breaths and trying to get tickets.  Every time I'd hit the select seats tab there would be a collective intake of air and crossed fingers that by some miracle we'd land some good tickets.  It finally happened and the minute it did my ten year old son threw his arms around me and said, "I LOVE YOU, MOM!!!"  So...that was the beginning of a long and fun evening.

We ended up eating a spagetti dinner that we all made together at 10pm, a quick clean up, then the dress up time to be in the Harry Potter Opening Night spirit, and jumping in the car (with a pit stop for candy).  We made it to the Megaplex where 13 theatres were showing Harry Potter.  It was so exciting and the movie was COMPLETELY worth it.  We decided it's the BEST Harry Potter movie so far.  You have to go see it.

We had wanted to stop on the way home for breakfast but had three sleeping girls and decided to go when we woke up this morning.  Well, as you can see at 11:30 this morning Gracie was still sleeping! (So sweet...)  We did finally make it out to Moore's Family Restaurant for breakfast (at about 12:30 this afternoon) and had a great time.  It's been a super fun last 24 hours!

Wedding Day!

I have been looking forward to Taisja and Brady's wedding day.  I've had so much fun with them so far and I knew that they would throw a wonderful party!  Taisja paid so much attention to details and made everything about the day perfect.  She and Brady were a dream to be with, too, because they went with the flow of things and just had fun.

In the morning they had a beautiful ring ceremony out under the sunshine and blue skies.  In the afternoon they came out of the temple after their sealing and were greeted by friends and family and hugs and so much love.  In the evening was a delicious dinner.  Suddenly a mariacchi band walked in and got the party going.  It was a great, unique twist to their wedding day.  I'm so glad I got to be there!  The fun and the wonderful people that I've gotten to meet and know are such a blessing to me.  Thank you all!

happy. LIFE.

Fourth of July Party

It's finally here!

The morning of the Fourth of July Gracie woke up and ran into our room and shouted, "It's the July Party Today!!"

I love the Fourth of July!  It's a great holiday and it makes it seem like summer is really going strong.  We had great food, great friends, and great fun.  From the dunk tank to the movie after dark everyone had a great time. The kids helped get all of the decorations and food ready.  We had a fun day of getting the party ready and then a fun night of playing.

Check out all of our fun day....

fun. LIFE.
