*{Peek a Boo}*

Dear Mom and Dad,

I know you are dying for my sneek peek, so I snuk away during the 2 hours that you actually got to sleep last night and figured out the phone already to call Miss Michelle. So here are a few pictures of my first modeling assignment...watch out guys! I'm going to be a heartbreaker one day!

Love,

Baby O.S.

PS-She said the rest are coming soon!

*{Feeling Hot, Hot Hot...}*

Websters Definition of {stun*ning}: Mrs. G and Mrs. U! Actually, it is "of striking beauty or excellence." But I think they define it to a tee!


So this week I have had a couple of *haute* mom-to-be's! These ladies make you want to be pregnant all over again because they are absolutely STUNNING!


Check out these gorgeous ladies...
"E.G.", meet "K.U."...you may be seeing each other on the labor ward...you will both be delivering at the same hospital, so be on the lookout!


And, oh yeah, we pulled out the fan!!


Keep working it ladies! You're looking gorgeous!

Until next time...

*{Antiworkshop...Las Vegas}*

Wow...where do I even start?! I feel so blessed that I was able to participate in the Antiworkshop Las Vegas, hosted by the *a*m*a*z*i*n*g* Boutwells and Coopers. I am wanting to get my "feet wet" in wedding photography. And I figure if you're going to do it, do it right! I was surrounded by such amazing talent and photographers from around the WORLD. If you are a wedding photographer, it is worth every dollar to attend. Between the Boutwells and Coopers, you have such an amazing wealth of talent; from Chenin's phenominal wedding photography, to Doug's amazing eye for the use of studio lights and fashion photography, to the Coopers who bring photography to another level---just wait until you experience him painting with light! My mouth was *literally* dropped open the whole time. I never knew anything was possible like this!!

And what is amazing, is they are all so willing to help. All egos are checked at the door--we are all there for the same purpose, the love of photography and wanting to further our skill levels. I highly recommend this workshop. It will change the way you shoot forever!

Above are some shots that I took while my group was out on our scavenger hunt! Thank you so much "B" for being a trooper out there and walking all around in those gorgeous heels with not one complaint! Your personality made our day and experience even more fun!

And to all my fun classmates, I am so glad we all connected and hope we all keep in touch! I'm so glad we had the chance to share this amazing experience together...I know none of us will ever forget it! Here is just some of the amazing talent I was surrounded by...for all you photogs out there, be sure to stop by their sites and peek at their blogs for their reviews as well:

Jen Lowe (Client Michelle B...you were looking for a Maryland photog...here's one!)

Jennifer Cuscino

Josh Solar

Karie McLain

Coralee Penner

Leon Li

Troy Schneider

April Greer

Scott Hatlestad

And just a little "holla" to the rest of the attendees. If you aren't listed, I don't have your card! So keep in touch!!

To the Coopers and Boutwells, thank you so much for pushing me creatively and answering any and every question I had. You all are what I aspire towards...and your passion for photography is contagious. Thank you for all the time you put into this amazing experience. I hope we all have the chance to meet up again...let's say, an Anti-reunion next year?!

Until Next Time,

*{Leaving on a Jet Plane}*

I will be away from my office until Monday, March 17th. All phone calls and emails will be answered when I return. Thank you so much for your patience...and stay tuned for blogging about my travels. Thank God for WI-FI in hotels now-a-days!

Thanks a million!

*{100th Post}*

So when I just logged onto Blogger to post, I noticed that this would be my 100th post! WOW!

I just had to make an announcement. At this time, I will not be booking any more sessions. I am currently booked through the first part of June. However, if you'd like to be placed on an interest list for this summer, (no promises) I can keep your information in case I decide to open up a few slots. Thank you for all of you being the awesome clients that you are!

And just because I can't really post without a photo, here is a little "somethin' somethin'" from a previous session! Too cute Mr. A!

Stay tuned...I'll be traveling soon for a photography workshop and I can't wait to post about my adventures!

Until Next Time...

*{Love is in the Air}*

Because you are such an awesome person K...yes, here is your sneek peek!! I am so glad that K came into my life this past year. She is such an AMAZING person...and when I say amazing person, I mean completely well-rounded...a lady that *adores* her man, a phenominal mom, and a friend that most people could only dream of!

(you can click on the images to enlarge)
And don't fret, we did get a few amazing family shots!
Love little Miss R blowing the feather away!
I love these next two shots...just a couple of true moments with each other...

.J.&.K.&.R. I had a fun time with you all this morning...and mad props to you all without jackets in 40 degree weather. No joke...I was wearing Uggs while K is walking around in short sleeves! One of the many reasons it is more fun to be behind the camera!!

Enjoy every moment...
