First the Upcoming News! 🙂
The last few days have been a blast since our Big Fat Fabulous Wedding has started airing on VH1! Thanks so much for all the wonderful emails, calls and posts! We’ve had great response from the show! If you missed it, you have another chance to catch it today at 1pm PT.
Mom Nominees for the Workshop Announced!
I’m going to announce the winner of the “Running On Empty” contest a week from today. The nominations have been inspiring, as so many have already expressed. Picking one mom is way out of my league, so I’ve asked a few moms in the photography industry to be the ones to decide who wins. But we’ve also got some other fun things in store for the ones who don’t win. Tune in this Monday! 🙂
Beginner SOLD OUT!! and Only THREE Upcoming Workshop Seats Left!
There are only 3 spots left in the Two Day Advanced Workshop! We are so pumped! Both Beginner Photography Workshops for Women are SOLD OUT!!! YEAH!!! We get to start sending out emails now and getting these workshops rolling! I’m so excited I can hardly stand it! Be on the look out for an email with all kinds of details and an exercise to do “before” the workshops start!
Now for Pre Teens!
When I announced the August Portrait Special, one of my original clients from “way back when” signed up right away. When we did their first shoot her little boy had just turned three. Here he is today! 🙂 Can’t you see this guy in the latest upcoming band!
It’s so fun to document a family’s growth and the changes that their children go through. I loved spending a couple hours in their home and shooting them in their element.
Here is big sister’s room!
When I photograph the younger kids I try to catch the shots of them Refusing to Say Cheese. And this goal takes on a whole new face when pre teens sink into it! 🙂
And even though pre teens are strikingly strong and confident on the outside, I love finding moments when their guard is down and dad and mom are still their safety.
Scott and Felicia, you are two incredible people! I have such respect for your marriage, your personhood, your parenting, your kindness. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to document your family again. All the joy and silliness I get to experience with you and the kids totally starts with how real this dynamic is between the two of you.
Much Love,
Me Ra

Me Ra,
Oh how I admire your photography and love to read your blog entries! I’ve been reading now for a few months … and SO inspired!! I want to attend the professional workshop – but I have 2 little ones at home. Any chance you’ll hold them again, maybe next year?

Right-minded saying thanks will not just be satisfactorily, suited for the wonderful clarity in your writing.
