I have never officially done an event shoot before and I have to say...not bad. I have never been to the Denver Art Museum before and it was INCREDIBLE! I am beginning to LOVE downtown Denver. The shoot for was for the 150th anniversary of Northwestern Mutual.It was easy to do. Shots of couples and groups. Mingling...with people who potentially don't want you there (for the fact that the are not fans of photographs being taken of them) but none the less - all the security guards were fantastic. I really appreciate there help. One kept me from getting a ticket on my car for an expired meter. I didn't realize that after 6 you still had to worry about the meter. I was wrong. My meter was expired for probably an hour and thankfully I didn't get a ticket. Another guard named Alex told me I should contact the event director there and see about using me for further shoots there. I would love it. Another guard just chatted. So, overall a pleasant evening. And I get to thank a fellow photographer for the evening, Katie VanBuren. I am going to second shoot a wedding with her next weekend. It is really a treat to get to know such a kind person who is willing to help you out in so many ways, but to also be able to associate with her in a business way as well. I count her as a new friend who I hope to grow closer too as time presses on.
So, it was a fun evening. And now I'm home - kids asleep, husband over at a buddies watching an Ultimate Fighting Championship match that was on Pay Per View. And I get to surf the web and just chill. Yeah! Can't beat a night like this!

Laughable
I just have to say that my absense from the technology world has been really difficult and really good for me. I am addicted. It's true. I am willing to admit it. When there's down time...my first thought is to check out email accounts, work on my portfolio, whatever...but online. So, going to Greer, Arizona was a serious trek for me in the fact that not only was there no computers, no internet, but even my cell phone didn't get reception out there. So, aside from my mom and sister Brooke - along with her kids and my kids...it was really quiet. But there was plenty to do there and now that I'm back - there is plenty to catch up on. It's nutty how things just keep on running.
Last night I went to our Denver PUG meeting and had a great time chatting it up with all the great members of Pictage that are around the Denver area. It was a good time. I love being there because I feel like not only do I get to rub shoulders with some great photographers, but I get to learn from what they have done in the past and what they look to do for the future. Not that I am not thinking about the business constantly because I feel like I do - but you really get interuppted in your thought process a lot as a mom. I'm not complaining though. I honestly do welcome the interuptions!
Anyway, I just wanted to post some images of the dance studio pictures I took last week. I think they were really cute!
