Hi Everyone!

Yes, I am alive! I've just been super busy! I went to a wedding in Vegas the weekend before Thanksgiving and I have been on committment overload for quite some time. So I am busily trying to get some editing time in and get stuff to clients, so please bare with me. I should be back to regular blogging next week! Here are a couple of shots (mobile phone) of the beautiful surroundings I was exposed to. The Mandalay, The HOTEL, and Luxor were a great place to get my first taste of Vegas!

Hanbury Family Session

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
-Maya Angelou

This quote is so true! Jennifer and I worked together for about three years, do I remember every conversation we had? no. Do I remember everything we did while we worked togehter? no. What I do remember is how much I laughed when we worked together. It didn't seem to matter how busy, or how tired we were, we had a great time working together. Jennifer spreads this wonderful attitude with her boys as well and I was so excited to see her again and catch up a bit. Here is a sneak peek :)

Herrmann-Webber Family 2009

I love family get-togethers. Call me crazy, call me gluten for punishment, but I do, I LOVE them! The stories about who did what as a kid, why someone has a nickname, and the constant laughter and giggles of children. It's no secret that I have a big family, but I also come from a big family and I do enjoy catching up and getting to know the latest and greatest. On this Sunday morning I witnessed first hand another family interacting with each other and it made me laugh, it made me giggle, and it warmed my heart on this chilly day! The Herrmann-Webber Family is a fun group that is just on the brink of growing up together with all the kids so close in age and you can just imagine the fun they are all going to have! I had a great time at Sibley Park in Mankato, thanks for letting me tag along!


I put this one in here for humor ;)
