I cried the day I got the e-mail that her mommy and daddy were expecting. We had such a connection at our first session and I had always longed to see them again as parents. This little angel was so sweet and beautiful. And, she also let me work in her daddy's canoes (wasn't sure how I was going to pull that one off, LOL). I so look forward to watching her grow up!
[P.S. Monday is the last day to VOTE. Did I mention only a few votes separate 1st and 2nd places right now? Eeep.]
As physically and emotionally and creatively drained I am this evening, I'm up late with my heart full of joy and appreciation. Of all the things that have gone wrong this week (broken camera, cold rain, and a very sick mommy), I am SO grateful for the many, many things that went perfectly right, including:
1. Adorable baby #1.
2. Adorable baby #2.
3. And a group of incredible women who have been my rocks over these past few days. There is so much talent here. So much personality. So much passion for the art of photography. I'm so privileged to have had the opportunity to work with you. Thank you to my girls of the "Wawa Sisterhood."

I'm not lying. Even my own. And anytime I see that I'm scheduled to do a session with a newborn baby + a toddler, by blood starts to run cold. I'm a chicken. That's fine. I can admit that.
Buuuuuuuuut, then there's this:
Buuuuuuuuut, then there's this:
And then I start to feel silly that I was worried about it at all. And then I wonder if all of the toddlers in the world are communicating behind the scenes to gang up on me and perhaps this was just a ploy to get me to let my guard down so they can plan their real attack. And then I just think, "Nah. Look at her face. There's no way."
Tomorrow starts day one of the first run of our professional photographer workshops, so please understand if it takes longer than usual for me to respond to phone calls and e-mails. I'm so excited. The house is ready. The dish strainer is scrubbed. My computer is fired up (and *running*). I'm pumped. So excited to meet everyone and talk shop for a few days...just us girls!

Not to mention how much I ooohed and ahhhhed when this beauty landed on my doorstep (I may or may not have petted it repeatedly before sending it to its owner):
Working on his 3 month album as we speak. Can't wait to see how this one turns out![P.S. Have you voted?]
Those of you who hang out with me on Facebook know that I was totally nervous about my first newborn twins photo session today. But all of that worry was for not because these two were absolute angels for me and I cannot wait to go through their pics. Meanwhile, here's a quick peek and then a couple of outtakes that I thought were cute:
"Don't look now, sis. That crazy lady with that clicky camera is BACK!"
