because we can't not do what we do! i can't NOT do creative stuff. i can't NOT photograph people. i have to. because if i don't, i'm a crab-apple. once you know who you are and what you NEED to be doing, you have to just do it. before a person figures it out, it's miserable....aimlessly drifting, trying to figure out what's going to make you happy. yeah, i think a lot.
last night, i had the best time! jacque, amanda and their mama luann, were so easy to be with....we just had a great, relaxed time. AND, amanda had the stellar idea of doing some of the shots at the radio station where both girls work. oh my-i was in heaven. we were on the roof and in the cool old building....it was perfect!
i was freaking about all the cool looks from the roof! it was insane!
she sort of reminds me of keira knightley in these shots.
oh and she's really tall : )
i know i say it all the time, but i am soooo fortunate. i have the best clients!!!
yesterday, i meant to update about the LA photo shoots and didn't get it done, so here's what's up. i think it's safe to say, that it's a go! the event that i am SO excited to be a part of is artistic affaire deux. i've heard GREAT things about it and can't wait! no surprise that the event is sold out this time. here's my plan with the shoots: since i don't really have a timeframe that i have to go with, i'll continue to schedule family/portrait shoots for the days before and after the event. i don't plan to stay more than a week, but i'd love to do a shoot or two a day for the days i'm there. thanks for the interest! more details on the class i may be teaching soon.
looking forward to a relaxing night tonight. we're having a little dinner party, with very simple food. i really want to do baked brie...if i can figure it out and find good cheese in town. otherwise we'll just grill some steaks, bake potatoes, make a green salad and call it good. you've probably noticed that i haven't written much about cooking lately. we have been eating in a lot, but it's been very quick simple stuff...probably not worth sharing. and our cooking club hasn't met for a while, so we need to get that going again. life gets busy, right?
today is kirby's birthday! i hope you have a great day-happy birthday kirby!!!
have a great friday! God bless!
I pray fervently that my kids will find their passion and pursue it fervently. You are a great example of what I desire to see in my kids. Too many people hating their life because they hate what they do for a living!! you are blessed!

Glad you gals were able to connect for the photos Thursday night. Jacqui's a doll.
Just wondering about you being on the roof. I didn't think heights worked for you?

Hi Becky! I talked to you last week at CHA (my mom talked to you last year and told you I had started a photography business) - I SO know what you mean about doing what you love! I just had a shoot last night, and some of my favorites I think I have ever done (http://areedphotography.blogspot.com).
I would so love a copy of the magazine!!! I would be more than happy to pay you for the shipping if you wouldn't mind sending me one!! I have a wedding to shoot later this fall, and would love to get some fresh new ideas! Email me if it is at all possible, and I can give you my home address!
Congrats!! I am so excited for you!!!
