We’re getting a little R&R! SHOCKER…ok maybe just a lil bit. We will be playing and working while in California this week. We’re actually headed out to see the dynamic duo Nate + Jaclyn of ‘the image is found‘ for a one on one workshop on Wednesday + a photoshoot of us on Thursday! Ekkkkkk….so THRILLED. I set this up way back in December as a surprise to Eric for his birthday. If there’s anyone we wanna learn from it’s these guys and we finally need some one on one attention for our company.  So yeah we kinda splurged but talk about taking it to the next level…yeah baby!  We’re also gonna to do some yummy dining and boutique shopping in some vintage modern districts.  Does anyone have any recommendations??? The ‘Little Italy’ district seems dope…we’re just looking for salvage yards or anything that has mid-century modern aesthetics.  Oh pretty please…leave your ideas in the comment box below.  Thank you!  Can’t wait to tell you all about our fabulous getaway…Stay Tuned!

Everyone…meet the Jones family!!!  We photographed their rambunctious family last Sunday and got to hit up two locations since the weather was sooooo perfect!  Lately it’s been in the low 80′s here in Tucson!  I know…I know some east coasters would be ‘oh so jealous’ but to us natives it only means that the 100 degree weather is quickly approaching. Yikes.  So Eric and I try to soak up as much ‘spring time’ coverage as possible.  Which means we are the busiest between March-May (these are my favorite months out of the year).  I could lay in a hammock all day if I wasn’t such a ‘girl on the go’.  I like to have my plate full of fantastic creative projects…and sometimes that means I don’t get to necessarily relax for more than a few hours or even a few mintues.  Is there anyone else out there that can relate?…there’s gotta be!. I’m really bad at that and Eric has to constantly remind me to RELAX!!!.  So that’s exactly what we BOTH did after our session with the Jones family.  Phew…those kids tuckered us out.  I don’t know how Jessica & Shane handle two boys who are always wanting to play.  I totally give them props.  Parenting has gotta be the hardest job on the planet.

So as I was editing through their family session I came across this hilarious shot.  At first I kinda skimmed by it but something caught my eye.  I didn’t even realize while taking the photograph that little Aiden was pulling on dad’s face.  And I’m sure he does this A LOT!  Am I right dad?.  Too cool that we were able to capture that one moment when it took place. Gosh I LOVE being a PHOTOGRAPHER!!!  I do I do I do.  And I’m proud to SHOUT it from the roof tops!!!  Ok ok I’m getting carried away.

Thank you Jessica + Shane + Sam + Aiden for a lovely me2 family portrait session.  And good thinking with the french fry break…totally worked!  I hope this teaser holds ya (specifically Jessica) over a lil bit longer…Stay tuned!
