Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 11:43AM It was the cutest thing ever when Robin's husband called me after seeing us on The Living Show to schedule an appointment for his wife and and daughter. How thoughtful is THAT?! And they were so fun to photograph...so comfortable and sweet together.
Wearing authentic Ts from the real concerts. Robin had saved them, and now Chaney is wearing them. How cool, right?

More tomorrow!
For now, I'm headed to the studio to shoot my old high school friend Jen and her family. Haven't seen her since her wedding day, at least 10 years ago, which makes me feel incredibly old.
Have a great Monday! :)

So we drove to Ikea yesterday because I still need to finish decorating the studio. But somehow it turned into re-doing the office at home. Now I'm sitting amongst a pile of cords and ergonomic chair limbs waiting to be assembled. And I'm JONESING for Jason to hook the TV back into my computer. It's like phantom leg syndrome, as I keep looking to the right corner of the screen, expecting to see Kimora Lee Simmons. I was right in the middle of watching her dig her stoletto into the back of one of her employees when Jason pulled the plug! Oh well. Should be worth it when I get to start LABELING. Ohhhhhh...the joy of boxes with names on them. What color pen should I use? I can hardly WAIT.
In the meantime, here are a couple random links in case you're having a lazy web surfing kind of Sunday night.
From my friend Katy: Hilarious.
This made me cry laughing, this morning.
From our old friend Walt. I had no idea this was possible on a guitar.
And that's it for now. See you tomorrow with more Hot Mamas!
Friday, February 6, 2009 at 10:30AM Once again, I can't say enough about the amazing women who joined us at the last Hot Mama shoot. They are all just extraordinary women. Here are a few. I'll be posting the rest over the next few days.

Thursday, February 5, 2009 at 09:33AM My favorite thing about Brian is that he's always singing. Like, I'll be sitting all bored in the carpool lane, and the phone will ring. And it will be him on the other end singing "MAI-I-I-LEEEE! MAI-I-LEEE! STORMS OPERATE IN YOUR EYES, WHOOOOOHHOOHOOH!" You know, nothing brightens the day like a little impromptu Jefferson Starship. On the flip side, Cristina is very calm and cool (ER doctor that she is). But just when you think she's all business, she will bust out with the best one-liner. She has a killer, dry sense of humor. So between the two of them, and their cutie patootie daughter Eva, they're just a fun family.
And they're fun to shoot because you never know what's going to happen. We started off at their house, and ended up trespassing in the yard of their neighbor's vacant home. Sweet.
Little Miss Gorgeousness.
You guys probably already know this, but Brian also owns Babyvision Ultrasound. If you're pregnant, you have to go visit him! He has such an awesome set up, where you and your family and friends can chill on the couch, while viewing your baby (in 3D) on a big screen. It is the coolest thing ever!
Also, they've been so nice over the years by sending me lots of bellies to photograph. So (I'm going to make this a permanent feature later)...but as a way to say thank you to him, and all my favorite vendors who have referred people to me over the years, I'm going to start offering discounts to people who visit them.
So, starting today, if you spend $100 with Babyvision Ultrasound, you will receive $100 off a regularly priced portrait session with me! How cool is that?! You're doubling your money! Just bring your receipt in, on the day of your session (dated after Feb 4, 2009).
Some of my other favorite peeps are listed in the sidebar links, and the same goes for them, too.
Have a great day! :)
