I know everyone thinks their kids are the cutest in the world but, my little girl really is! Bare with me…I’m a proud mom!

We arrived in Washington D.C.

Friday, January 18th, 2008

WOW! It’s an incredible city! It feels like New York but without the traffic.

It took us ages to get here yesterday because of a van full (8 total) of hungry people and a pregnant woman who needs the bathroom all the time…so annoying. But, in the world of technology we had movies, Ipods, music and more. I don’t know how we made it anywhere when I was a kid. Actually I do know how we did it…lots of boredom, fighting, teasing, whining and more. Whew…I’m glad times have changed!

We did a ton today and I took lots of pictures but haven’t had a chance to put them on my computer. You’ll have to wait until tomorrow! I can’t wait to see more.

Hope you’re having a great week and staying warm. I heard the high in Minnesota today was -1! YIKES! Hopefully it warms up soon.

Exploring the area…

Here’s some fun shots from our days of being out and about. Just something different to look at then snow!

This was cool! We found some property owned by the Greenway and they’ve physically moved a couple of really cool homes to the premises. This is Billy Graham’s grandparents home.

Hey…what’s with the snow in SC?

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

My nephew was up at 3am trying to wake up everyone to go outside and play in the snow!!!! CRAZY! We got an inch or two which is nothing in Minnesota standards but the schools got delayed by 2 hours here!

It’s not my preference to have snow fall on my vacation but since we have it I thought it’d be fun to capture the boys and Adriah having fun in it!

Canvas vs. Print

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

I’m a big believer in keeping things simple! For this reason I don’t offer tons of different options for books and a million different complicated packages. I try and keep everything simple with 3 options at the very most.

I love the “brag book” that I offer with a couple of my wedding packages and I love “Sequoia leather bound book” that’s custom designed (available a-la-carte) AND my new favorite is the wonderful world of canvas. I’ve recently updated the consultation/office room in my home and I have different canvas sizes featured! In my opinion, it is the coolest way to captured the most important day of your life! I can’t wait to share it with the 2008 brides.

That’s one of things I’m really excited about in returning to Las Vegas for WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photography International) in March. I get to walk around the trade show and inspect the best books, printing, canvas and equipment companies…and make decisions…and spend lots of money! I highly recommend it for any starting photographer! The seminars and conversationĀ helped shaped who I am as a photographer and I can’t wait to grow again!

I know some other photographers read my blog…any suggestions for books, printing, canvas or anything else? Or if you’re just starting do you have any questions about these areas?
