The Way I See It...

Outta' Here!

We are leaving this place, had enough... outta here!  Actually my husband and I are en route to Hawaii to celebrate our 10 year anniversary!  It has always been a dream of ours, but I honestly can't believe it's actually happening!  We are however, currently stuck in Kansas City waiting our flight to Denver.  Denver, of course is experiencing a huge snow storm - 10 to 15 inches - and flights are getting cancelled left and right.  If we can just get there, we might make it out on time.  Otherwise, we will be shacking up in Colorado and spending one less day in Hawaii... boo hoo!!  

I will return in two weeks, with some senior sneek peeks and pics of Hawaii!

Aloha!

Updated pictures from our trip, we are still here, but it has been really cloudy - this is 

rainy season.  

Poor Poor Pitiful Blog

Dear Blog,

I have a confession to make and an apology to extend.  I have been playing catch up from the winter season and have allowed myself to fall behind in posting on you.  You have been neglected.... put on the back burner.... become second hand.  Please know that you mean way more to me than I show you.  I promise to work harder at keeping you up to date and full of beautiful images from my clients ... I know how you like that!  So, in saying that..... I AM SORRY. 

Sincerely,

Your owner, M

Back to School

In February, I had the opportunity to share my knowledge of photography with some very amazing students at Lansing High School.  I had a great time teaching these students the very basics of photography.  We reviewed lighting and rules to follow (or to break in some cases) and then headed outside to shoot.  I gave them a very basic challenge of trying to capture great "catchlights" in their partner's eyes.  They are sure to see an instant improvement in their shots!  I really enjoyed myself and had fun viewing their recent work at the end of our time!  They have some serious talent! 

Here is a silly shot I grabbed at the end as we headed back in from a cold windy day.  Thank you for asking me to help expand your knowledge!  Don't forget MBP when it comes time for SENIOR PORTRAITS!
