lyon shop

One of my favorite things about things about my job is the quest of becoming a better photographer.  I am on a high speed rail bound for greatness and continuing my education is one of the ways I’ll arrive at my destination.  I have been to 3 workshops so far.  Two weeks ago I attended my third —— the Lyon-Shop.  Amelia and Justin Lyon are some of my favorite photographers in the business.  Their work will cook your thinker.  It was an honor to learn from them.  They are a hoot too!

Here is a look behind-the-scenes from the Lyon-Shop and my trip in general…

both  v - hIMG_2274My connecting flight from Chicago to LAX got cancelled.  I was so nervous that I was going to miss the kick off party but by the grace of God there was a tail wind so my flight arrived at LAX 30 min early.  woo hoo!  One of the things I look forward to in going to workshops is networking with other photographers.  There was some amazing talent that attended.  It was a pleasure meeting & getting to know them.IMG_2281IMG_2307IMG_2309IMG_2315Justin setting things up.IMG_2316IMG_2326Amelia sharing her settings with the party posse.IMG_2327IMG_2333IMG_2334The fab duo —– Amelia & Justin work well together.  I loved seeing them interact.IMG_2331Still on MO time I woke up at 5am, so I had fun exploring the Shade Hotel.

new projects

Fashion has always been a great love of mine so this may have been the best Chistmas of all times——–my parents bought me a sewing machine AND serger.  I nearly jumped out of my skin!  No… really.  I was skipping around like a giddy little girl for days.  For the past decade I have been making sketches of my own designs and raking through magazines collecting pictures, etc of outfits or pieces that inspire me.  Now I can finally let it all out.  Project Runway here I come!………..  jk about Project Runway BUT I’d love to learn how to make clothes out of my own designs for me and Rose.  If you have an inside scoop on how to get started I’d love to hear!  Shoot me an email or leave a comment.

From Dolce & Gabbana’s spring 2010 line…   I LOVE this skirt.

D&GFrom Donna Karen’s spring 2010 line..   I love, love, love both of these outfits, especially the one on the left.Donna KarenFrom Ralph Lauren’s spring 2010 line.  I normally don’t like overalls but I think they are fun here when paired with the ultra feminine shirt and shoes.  Of course I am ridiculously in love the hats in both pictures.Ralph LaurenFrom Versace’s spring 2010 line.Versaceimages from style.com

zelda + coralie

One of my favorite things to do is take pictures for my family.  Not only do I get to give them beautiful pictures to cherish, I also have the beautiful pictures to cherish.  And cherish them I do.  The two little darlings below are my nieces.  We took these a couple of months ago.  This was the day before Zelda turned 2 and Coralie was 5 mo old.  I love these girls!!
