Well hello there!
I’m beginning to get the wind back in my sails again after this past week’s tragedy big event. A few bowls of ice cream and an empty kleenex box later, I think I’m ready to jump back into life… it’s gonna be a great week!!!
………………………………………………….
First of all…
It’s been a whirlwind of a month. Like… a whirlwind. All of that rain and heat from July and the first part of August has meant that I’ve been shooting either part or all of almost every day. So, needless to say, we’ve been a little overwhelmed trying to keep up with it all! If you’re waiting for your pictures, please know that I’m working just about every moment that I’m awake and not shooting… I’ve been up *long* past bedtime every night this past week trying to keep up! We try so hard to stay within the two week timeline, but every now and then there are circumstances out of our control that push things back a bit. Thanks so much for your patience… I know your excited and waiting is awful… I’m working hard to get them to you SOON!!!

Two Spots Left… Shoot-Along Workshop!!!
Also, just thought I’d throw it out there for my last-minute people…
I have two spots left for our shoot-along mini workshop tomorrow evening! I’m pretty sure we’re gonna have a blast…
If you’re really into photography and/or have your own photography business and you’d love to get some fresh ideas, this is an awesome way to do a workshop without spending typical workshop prices… how fun is that?!?

HUGE Sweet Shots Class Sale!!!
Every month I teach the Sweet Shots classes, and this month was extra-fun because we were featured on Groupon!!! It’s been so awesome to meet so many new families in the Chicagoland area… I was seriously impressed this weekend with the eagerness of all the moms and dads that came in to learn about their DSLRs! Here’s a shot of Saturday’s class… are they not adorable?!?
A quick little fyi… if you’ve been hoping to try out the Sweet Shots classes, we’re going to run a sale for anyone else who might have missed the Groupon but still wants to get in on the fun! Over Labor Day Weekend, September 3-5, we’ll be knocking the price to half-off (that’s $80!) for all of the next year’s Sweet Shots Level One classes… mostly because I really believe that if you come to one of these classes, you’ll be hooked. : ) So if you’re hoping to come to one, sign up over Labor Day weekend!!! : )
Would you be amazing (as you always are!) and help us spread the word about our upcoming sale? At the bottom of this page, there’s a Facebook “like” button… it’s really (like, really) helpful to us when you take a second to do that! THANK YOU!!!

Photo Equipment for Sale!

Used Canon DSLR – $250
Ok, I’ve got this Canon DSLR that I bought about six months ago to help me get more familiar with Canons for the classes I teach. Now that I totally get it and it’s purpose has been served, I’m popping it up for sale here to the first person who wants it… click on its picture for more details:

Used (but barely!) Nikon Zoom Lens – $100
Also, I’ve got a Nikon 55-200mm lens for sale… it’s one that I bought way back when I first started, and it’s a good little zoom lens if you’re looking for something to capture your kids playing soccer outside or you want to take pictures of your kids in “spy mode”. Hehe. If you’ve come to any of my classes, though, you’ll know that I’m not, overall, a huge fan of zoom lenses unless they cost at least a thousand dollars (crazy, I know!!!), and I’ve got another one that I’m happy using until I’m ready to shell out the big bucks for the one I dream of… (and no, this will not be happening anytime in the near future…) : )
Same as above… e-mail if you want it and we’ll send you a PayPal request.
Click the picture above for more info about the lens.

And, finally… Mr. “K”
Sweet Mr. K, whom I’ve been capturing since he was 18 months old, is the *perfect* way to start off your week!
Now, really… this smile?!? Could he be any cuter? : )
His parents love him so much… that’s probably what I love watching the most when we do sessions…
He knows he’s loved, too. In the most perfect way, I think… not a spoiled love, just a loved loved.
(you know?)
He’s a happy boy…
And his parents are happy, too. I’ve always noticed that about them.
It was fun to capture just them, together, for a bit…
Happy parents make for happy families. Anyone who’s married with kids will tell you that being happy parents is not always easy. It takes work. And grace. And love. And hope.
And they have it all…
Hope your week’s off to a great start!!!
