Imaging USA!

I attended my first Imaging USA tradeshow today. This is part of Professional Photographers of America's annual conference. It's held in a different city each year, and this year was Nashville! There were hundreds of vendors there, from labs, to props, to packaging, to frames... so much to see. Not to mention the amazing photographic works entered into competition! Gosh there are a lot of talented photographers out there!

I wasn't sure until this morning that I would be able to make it, what with the snow we had a few days ago. Our area still has some sticking around, since we have so many trees keeping the sun out. But fortunately, the roads were clear enough for me to get out. I met Rebekah at her house, and we drove over to Opryland together. We enjoyed it, but were so tired by the time we left.

A Winter Day

Took advantage of being snowbound to work on my office renovations some more. I LOVE this beautiful Apple Green paint I chose. There's still so much work to be done. I put together all these cubes today, then had some delicious Peppermint Hot Chocolate.

Winter Weather

See what I mean? We don't go anywhere when it snows out here. Check out those icy hills! The tracks were made by some ATV's--that's the only way in and out in this weather.

Shannon & Jason | Hawaii Wedding Photography

When: November 2009
Where: Kaneohe, Oahu
What: Intimate Hawaii Wedding

Who doesn't love a romantic laid back wedding with lots of personal details? I know I do so it was a such a pleasure to photograph Shannon and Jason's wedding. Shannon was a total DIY bride, and I was impressed and amazed at how nice all the details of her wedding came together. But among the top fond memories of being their wedding photographer are how well Shannon and Jason clicked together (Jason was such a gentleman to Shannon!), and how nice their friends and family were. Being surround by love, friends, and fellowship - what else could you ask for when you start a new life together?!?

Congrats to Shannon and Jason, and best wishes in the New Year!

Cheers!
B.

First Snow of 2010

Well, the kiddo has gone back to Hawaii. We actually had to take her to the Marriott near the airport last night, because we knew with the weather forecast of snow and ice, we wouldn't be able to drive out of our neighborhood this morning. I felt awful leaving her at a hotel alone her last night in town, but she couldn't afford to miss that flight early this morning. Classes start on Monday, and she has to work this weekend. She wasn't upset about it, but I was! She only gets to come home for a couple weeks a year now, so I treasure every day of her time here.

But the weather forecast was right, we did get snow, and we couldn't get out of our neighborhood. And you can see here that Woofey was not at all pleased with this turn of events. He's definitely not fond of snow. No matter how pretty he looks in it.

Parrish

Whenever Parrish makes it home from Hawaii, I have to update her portraits. She has always been my favorite model--she's willing to do just about anything I can think up!

New Centerpeice for My Dining Room

Went to Michaels today and silk flowers, a vase, and the stuff to put together this Cherry Blossom arrangement. I'm not real good with flower arrangements, but I was pleased with how this one turned out.
