I was one of the photographers chosen to participate in the Matilda Jane “photo love” contest!  I was totally stoked when they announced the names and I was on the list, as were some of my friends!  This was a fun contest. No rules!  We got to choose our size and they sent each one of us the same exact dress.  We had to put our own twist on  our photograph.  I was so mad at myself, because I waited until the last day to have a shoot with Sophie. and. it. was. suppose. to. rain.  :0   It was freezing and I had 10 minutes to shoot!  So with lots of bribes and begging, I got this shot!  I was beyond thrilled with how it turned out!  Matilda Jane will be posting  all the images and the voting begins tonight, so I will be begging for some votes!!!!

I am so excited to announce a workshop that I will be speaking at next march!  It will be held at the gorgeous Inn at Perry Cabin in St. Michaels, Maryland ( where “the wedding crashers” was filmed! ).  Registration starts on December 1!   I will be speaking with these wonderful photographers!

Whoa… I’ve been a designing fool lately!  Here are my 2009 Christmas Cards!  Aren’t they so pretty?   For Photographers: they are available this week at www.millerslab.com!  These are just a few.  I will be designing a couple of more bundles!  Anywho, school started today so I will have some quiet time to gets lots of work done!  I sent my baby to Junior high, my second baby to 5th grade and my  youngest baby to 2nd!  82 days of summer we survived!!!!  Ok, I have only 15 spots left from August- December!  That is not very many, so if you are wanting to book a fall session for Christmas Cards… you should probably call very soon.   I booked up WAY sooner than other previous years. That makes me nervous for all my clients that are “last minute-ers”  First day of school pics to come!! Enjoy!      OH, big news… we have been working on a very special webblog   hehe… it is so dang cute, I can’t wait for you all to see it.  Everyone knows that I am a clothes FREAK!  I usually sell all my boutique clothes EBAY, but now I have decided to open up our own clothing blog.  I will announce it’s opening ASAP!   I will be selling mostly Sophie’s clothes and our photography wardrobe!  Our closets are overflowing!  It won’t be an auction site like ebay, but a one price buy it now type blog.  My house is overflowing also, so You  NEVER know what will show up on this blog!!!  I am so serious!  I’m in the mood to redecorate and clean out!  So this will be a really fun blog to watch!  STAY. TUNED.

About a month ago, I had the privilege to shoot the Anticipation line for Matilda Jane.  I was a crazy girl ~ planning the style of the shoot, finding models, painting tires,  receiving the clothes in time for the “one” 70 degree day in midst of snow days (thank you God) all in a 2 day time period!  It all worked out somehow, and we had a blast!  Thank you to all the moms that let me borrow their babies!  Did you see the most darling clothes ever yesterday?  If not check out her website www.matildajaneclothing.com and her blog www.matildajane.typepad.com!
