Our annual Girls Weekend was a success. Lots of laughs.. Lots of shopping... Lots of sharing... Lots of ..people looking at our chest and wondering???Who is Rick Lachey???? Enough said....shhhhhhh!

I had the greatest opportunity to get into Audrey Woulard's Be Inspired photography workshop a few weeks ago and being that it was my first workshop I can say for sure that any other workshop I may attend in the future will have a VERY HIGH bar of excellance to achieve to come close to hers. Not only is she completely down to earth and very approachable but she is the friend, the sister-in-law, the sister, the mother all could only hope to have in their life. It is refreshing to see that the work and the efforts of her eye and work pays off with photos that reflect art!! BUT, also shows the most essential part of people, their human side! People reflect who they are through their eyes and Audrey GETS THAT!! Now, taking much of what is learned over the weekend, I am striving to attain that vision as well. Taking pictures of you and your loved ones are my passion....making the images art and most meaningful is my mission!!

I had the honor of photographing a friend of my son's and just a great brother duo. You can tell how much they care and respect eachother and how just much they LOVE eachother too!! Don't get me wrong, I am sure that they battle over playing GameStation or getting into eachothers stuff, all normal sibling squabbles; however the care and concern and really just love you see these two have for eachother just would melt your heart! Easy, schmeezie photo shoot...just look how handsome and extremely cute these two are! Thanks "B" Family..pure joy and maybe next time we can play in the snow???

Wet, rainy, may have to cancel the photo shoot.....but when to reschedule with everyones schedule is packed to the hilt!!! So, being great troopers we were off on an adventure and found the cutest place in AA that had a pavilion; dated built in 1914, with a wonderful bridge and a river running through it. No Brad Pitt around but there was this great looking family I was able to photograph. Not only are they all good looking, and very coordinated, but also sweet. After the shoot I saw them at Wendy's (I swear I wasn't following them!!!!) and they were so kind to even buy my son and I our dinner. YUM! Thanks W. Family. Here is a small preview.....
