WHAT: A fun, relaxed little workshop for moms (and dads, grandparents, etc.) to help you learn the tricks to taking better pictures of your kiddos. We'll talk about finding the best light (and shadows), getting nifty perspectives, how to capture the real moments (and when to quit), tips on sharing and organizing those bazillion pictures I'm sure you have, and lots more.
WHEN: Saturday, March 8th, 2008 from 10-11:30 a.m.
WHERE: The comfort of my own home. Yup, that's right. Come hang out at my place. Let's have coffee and cupcakes and chat.
TUITION: $125 per person (non-refundable) due by Feb. 29th
DETAILS: Your tuition to the Cupcake Academy includes the workshop, a copy of my FAVORITE book on how to photograph kiddos, a $25 Pinkle Toes gift card, and...first dibs on scheduling a holiday session
with me (to be held in August or September). Dress comfy and bring your camera to practice (nuthin' fancy - any old camera will do). But please, this little event is for grown-ups only.
This graduating class will be small and spaces are limited, so if you wanna join us, sign up quickly. And, I'm serious. There will be cupcakes. Real ones. Scroll down to sign up!
(Note: this is NOT a workshop for professional photographers or even those that are trying to break into the field--just folks who would like to get better pictures of their kids when I can't be around ;-)

I think pretty much every photographer out there (or anyone who's ever tried this for that matter) can relate to how flippin' difficult it is to do a self portrait. I've never been happy with the results...I just can't think clearly if I'm not behind the camera. For some silly reason, I felt like I needed to challenge myself today. So, here I am:
Marta, Cindy, Mariah, Wynona...hats off to you ladies. You rock the SP's. 
My little bug fell asleep in his easy chair this afternoon. Perfect opportunity to snap some pics of his incredible lashes. I don't know where he got them from, but I have a feeling they will come in handy for getting his way whenever he wants.

Daddy's been hard at work building an HO scale train table for the boys. Well, he says it's for the boys, but I think he's included in that group. It's cool to watch the progress.
Daddy designing while I'm working at the 'puter. Check out that nifty headlamp (thanks to Jen and Mark for the inspiration!).
Ladies: look out. This little charmer is going to be a Heartbreaker with a capital H. I cannot believe how much he put up with today...he couldn't have performed any better. My goodness. Mom...you are in trouble, I'm afraid. ;-)

I'm so very excited about this new line! Now, when you order wall portraits (8x8 and up) of the images on your CD, they will come mounted on styrene (to protect the print from folding, bending, sagging, etc.) with a delicate linen texture and a STUNNING metallic finish. It's subtle so as not to draw attention from the image, but adds just enough depth to make the image oh-so-touchable. I now have several of these prints hanging in my home and I LOVE them! They are absolutely gorgeous!
