Oh, I am just beyond excited for these couple of days and wish I could stay the extra portfolio building day, but I'll take everything I will learn and bring it back to my business here in Chambersburg. Now...if the weather is beautiful and perfect, that will make life even sweeter!

What's brings the cool factor up even more? We are staying at the hotel where they filmed Wedding Crashers...one of mine and Paul's all time favorite movies! Hehehehe....I can't wait to show him the pictures (well, show all of you the pictures!).

Hope you have an exciting weekend too! :)

Little Wee One

Since I am layed up in bed with bronchitis, I thought I would show you the pictures I was able to take of Little wee one. I pick LWO up early on Wednesdays from school, and with that little extra time we had this week, I decided to take her to do some test shots. I have 3 photo shoots for this week that I had to cancel due to my sickness. The best part of it all is that my flu test came back negative! Phewwwww!! I didn't want to have to buy that tamiflu...expensive stuff!

So here is my little model...if you read this blog you know how hard it is to get her to smile, she did pretty good :) Some serious shots and some smiley ones! I kind of wish she was in a cuter outfit, but she picked out her "soccer" shirt (which I'm sure all of my family is so proud right now!) and it definitely is "her" :)

*when resizing for web, some of the pictures may have become a little blurry...not to worry, they are not in real life :)

Coming Soon...

Updates and Announcements...until then, look what I got from everyone's favorite man in the brown suit :)

I can't even begin to describe the joy that came across my whole body when this surprise was given to me :) He knows I love him, and I'm not talking about the UPS man!
