Last week I taught a little photography class to a local girl scout group. It was adorable to see the girls so interested in improving their pictures! They were a lot of fun and learned quickly! Check out some images from the day:
Then the next day we had another Anytime-art Workshop, which was again soooo much fun. I’ll blog it pretty soon!!
As I’ve been working on these family pictures, I decide to blog them before I finish catching up with older posts 
I’ve known this family for over three years, when I first photographed Lucca. It’s so fun to see how much he’s grown and, of course, how sweet he is to his new baby sister Lila.
Lucca and Lila have some awesome, cool parents:
Here’s my favorite family portrait of the day:
I’m so excited to schedule a new Workshop date! And even more excited that seats are filling up so fast! And in honor of Anytime-art, I’m posting some soccer pictures from last season. Does that make me a “soccer mom”????
The soccer games were the cutest thing ever! We were lucky to have such an awesome team!
Now that the craziness of the holidays have passed and I have gone back to a more predictable schedule, I’ll try to catch up on some blog posts. Last years I photographed little Dane, who was just as sweet as could be… This year the sweetness was doubled: Welcome baby Reese!
Cute kids like Dane and Reese make my job so easy
A few weeks ago Noel and I had the pleasure of working with Kiana Tom. On January 1st, 2010 Kiana launched Kiana’s Fit Mom TV which in her own words is:
Kiana’s Fit Mom TV is the very first health and fitness show on the web and I am so pleased to be hosting it! Kiana’s Fit Mom TV is brought to you by the producers who made my ESPN fitness series, “Kiana’s Flex Appeal” the “#1 rated fitness series on television.” That series reached 80 million homes worldwide so for those of you who are familiar with my passion for health and fitness – welcome back! And for those of you who are new to my world – I look forward to getting to know you better through Kiana’s Fit Mom TV! As the mother of two young daughters, my goal with Kiana’s Fit Mom TVis to make fitness convenient for busy moms like me. I hope you’ll tune in so you can access all of my workout video tutorials, 24-hours a day on topics like total body circuit training workouts that can be done in 5-15 minute increments, problem solving exercises to fix common trouble areas for women, healthy recipes with natural ingredients and easy clean up, my personal Fit Mom tips, interviews with Fit Moms around the world, remote coverage of Fit Mom events and active family travel spots.
Working with Kiana has been very exciting to me for many reasons. I have a life long love for health and fitness and Kiana spreads that love to the entire world! I just LOVE to be around a woman who DOES IT ALL, does it WELL, and is so incredibly sweet and fun to hang out with.
Here’s the whole FIT family:
How many hours of exercise a day do you think I would need to jump like this?
And to be as strong as this?
Cheers for a healthy, balanced, and happy life!!!
And thanks Kiana, for the inspiration and for creating Fit Mom TV!
I thought about writing a nice long post with some of my favorite images of the year, but I only have a couple more days before the kids start school again so I’m going to PLAY with them all day instead :). I just want to post these snapshots of my favorite people in the word:
And a few of my dear friends who make my life so fun!!
Happy New Year Everyone!!!
My attempt to blog 1 image a day lasted … just a few days… Well, I’ll have to try again another time
The other day my friend Elsie featured my holiday card on her blog and I thought it was so cute what she said about me It’s really funny how I feel all warm and fuzzy inside when someone says something good about me… We all know that who we really are doesn’t change at all based on what others say we are, but at the same time validation feels so nice. Maybe this is just part of being human, or perhaps I need to work on a better sense of self…. Either way, I was happy to read Elsie’s post
Even though I send a card to everyone I have an address to, I am posting it here for everyone who visit this blog.

And the answer is YES, I buy my kids an outfit for Christmas thinking of the Christmas card, I LOOOOOVE shooting their picture and making the card, I let the kids have as much say on the card as possible (pretty much everything except for things like wearing a clone trooper mask :) ), I send lots of cards every year, I cheer for every card I receive from friends, clients, and everyone, I display them all on a wall and look at them every chance I get. It’s so awesome to get the mail this time of the year! And this year I’m having extra special treats: Cards from the Anytime-art Workshop attendees! I’m beyond amazed at the skill and creativity our attendees have developed. I can’t wait to our next workshop in January!
For now I’m posting only one image, but there’s lots more to come about this super fun shoot I recently did together with Noel. Stay tuned!!
Keeping up with a daily image has been a challenge But here it is. And if you thought she was cute in the pink tutu, look at her when I tried to do it again:
