Well, I am a little late posting this, but I just wanted to share my favorite shots from our click chicks monthly meeting. This month we did a little practice shoot with Melissa her super brave hubby, Josh. We were ALL photographing him alone for the most part while Melissa shared a bunch of her ideas, and how she works with her clients’ poses as well as keeping the experience for them fun, relaxed, and happy. Thanks Melissa, we all had a great time, and thank you Josh for putting up with a house full of ladies!! Buuuuuut, I just love a cute couple, so I just had to post a picture of them TOGETHER! (I’ll admit I didn’t shoot a lot because I prefer to sit back and observe these kinds of things (lots of people shooting one subject). Just as educational, but a different perspective I guess…)

I am trilled, I was worried that I would be disappointed if it wasn’t a girl since I already have two boys,
but I am just already so in love with this little boy. He is going to be so sweet
Soooooo, Our one and only mistake of the whole day was to drive to the coast the day before the Fourth of July! It took us over 2 1/2 hours to get there…everybody was going to the beach. At each bend we’d think, “it could be just around the corner, we can’t turn around yet!” We stuck it out to have just about an hour and a half of fun in the sand! I think it was worth it.
Well, I guess we made another mistake that day. We decided to eat out at a resturant that shall remain un-named. The food tasted like cardboard, and I had severe digestion problems for the next 3 days…again, it was all worth it!
PS. What do you think of the new picture frames? I’ve seen it and loved it for a while on other blogs, so here’s my atempt!

There was a small trickle coming down into the water creating this really cool scale-like pattern.


Working on a tunnel

Jackson & Henry enjoying the tunnel!


Then it broke on Henry, yuck, sand in the mouth!



My handsome boy…






My sweet Henry, We played too hard that day and then on the Fourth. So much so, that he and his brother both got sick
They are still getting over it, poor guys. The same thing happened after playing too hard in Hawaii…interesting




Back after lunch (on Tuesday!)
Well, I spent this last weekend with my chicks! ALL WEEKEND LONG was spent talking, and talking, and more talking! I kept pausing to think, oh my gosh, we all just stayed up until 3-4am talking and here we go on…talking! Well, I guess that’s just what happens when you get a bunch of girls together who all have at least one thing in common: photography. Anywho, we had a blast, and I enjoyed getting to know these fellow photographers.
We did manage to get down to the beach once or twice a day to walk and take some headshots of eachother! thank you to all of you for playing with my head-strappy thing, I love it, but I just realized how funny it will be for everybody to be wearing the same thingy in all of these pics. Anywho, you all rocked it in your own beautiful way!

Then my last four shots were for Angela…here’s the one I liked!

I wished I had more to show, there were probably double the amount of people in all, but pictures were being taken randomly, and I didn’t get a chance to attack everybody. Thanks girls for the fun weekend, and thank you Sara for the Beach house!
Testing out a free trial of the Show It Slideshows! I am thinking it would be a neat thing to make for my couples to have on a dvd and share all over the internet. Hmmm, ideas…
