One of the things I learned in Vegas is that I need to try my best to keep up on this blog. This is something I struggle with....but lately, I am trying to do my best by keeping this blog "sticky" and not only sticky, but diverse. I want to include pieces of me. pieces of my life.

So this is Guinness. Our great dane. He is 6 years old

as of March 17th...born on St Patrick's Day...hence the name.

He is actually really old for his breed. While doing this post I googled "great dane life expectancy" I already knew what I would find...the first link said 6-8 years.

I took this picture yesterday and as I sat and made some tweaks I couldn't get over his salt and peppered face. Once all black with the white nose and strip up his forehead.

He has definitely caused some moments of frustration leaving us thinking "why did we get a great dane" ....see HERE

But ultimately, he has been here since the beginning of us...

Here's to beating the average and praying for a few more years with him!!

Oh my gosh, I have the INTERNET again!!!

I have been without it for about a week and let me tell you...

checking stuff out on my little blackberry is just NOT the same :)

...And I have a million and one things to blog about.

I attended WPPI in Las Vegas in March. I had so much fun and learned a ton, very inspiring and met some AMAZING photographers! I roomed with Jessica Kettle, who I love...ahem ;)

I need to sit and take the time to write about my experience but right now I just want to show some images from a really fun shoot that Julie Parker put together. Check out her blog, she explains the story behind this shoot. Go HERE I was not at the daytime shoot, but I was at the evening shoot and shot all these images without a flash!! It was sooo good to meet you Julie! And you too Brooke, we have to get together again!!

My absolute fave image of the evening...couldn't decide between black and white or vintage

Thanks for looking :)

Jameson

...my son for those who don't know

I think he's pretty cute. crystal light mustache and all

Baby Everett.

I had so much fun with this family. Baby E's big brother is sooo adorable, I could have played with him all day. The last couple pictures of him with his baby brother are some of the sweetest pictures I have taken and were in probably the last five minutes of the session...wheeeew :)

Thank you sooo much for letting me capture this special time for your beautiful family!
