Vegas...

We are having a wonderful time in Vegas. Though I can't say it is relaxing at all. We have been on the move for early morning to late at night. I was at WPPI convention from 7:20am to 8:30pm today, and tomorrow I will start early and end at 10:30pm. It has been so fun...meeting new people/photographers and learning from the best and most creative people out there. I hope my little brain does not fail me tomorrow....it is all quite overwhelming.
Jayme is having fun doing his own thing. Exploring the surrounding canyons and valleys around the Vegas area. He is really enjoying it! Well...we are exhausted, and need the 6 hours of sleep that I am going to hopefully going to get tonight.
We will be back in Michigan on Thursday.


This is the hotel where the WPPI convention is...it is HUGE!


The famous Bellagio water fountain show!

Baby Gavin

Some of you faithful blog followers of mine may remember last year me asking for prayers for little Baby Gavin. He had extensive heart surgery shortly after he was born. He has recovered 100% and was told by his Doctors that he could live a normal life and do whatever he would like to do in his life. Its so amazing to see him now, and see how happy and healthy he is. Here are some photos from his one year old photo shoot. Isn't he just way too cute? =)

In the last two weeks, I have heard some information from my friend Randi Frucci of "TaDa Event Planning" about a Women's Expo this month. So this was kind of last minute for me...but I am excited to see how it all works out. The people heading this up are really cool and this sounds like a great event. So come on out and check it out...bring your moms, sisters, girlfriends to a great event at the Radisson. The dates are Feb 20th and the 21st. Friday evening 6pm-9pm and Saturday from 11am-4pm. So come check it out....hope to see you there! My good friend Stephanie Miller will be there selling her ADORABLE little girl hair bows and accessories. She does great work, my daughter has so many of her hair bows, they look so so cute!! Here is her website if you want to check her out before you come. www.sugarontopbows.com

I just recently was able to my new camera. The Canon 5D mark II. I was sooooo excited. It came out in November, but everybody was out of stock on it....so I went to Normans for another reason and just happened to ask if they had any in stock, and they had 30! I was shocked....so I waited until the next day to buy it...mainly to transfer ALOT of money over to my checking account, and when I got there...they had two left. I got LUCKY! These cameras are so popular right now. I also was able to get a lens I have had my on for a long time. The 50mm 1.2.....and I LOVE it!!!!!!! This lens gave me shivers when I put it on my camera and took some photos...it is sweet. So, I am excited to try it out at a wedding. My next wedding is in April, so excited. =)
Next week, Jayme and I leave for Vegas for a mini vacation/photography convention. I am so excited to go to WPPI and learn all that my little brain can comprehend. Of course I will have some photos to show you all when we get back. Can you tell I am excited. =)
