This weekend is crazy busy with a wedding on Friday and 11 mini sessions on Saturday and Sunday. Returning email will be a little slow this weekend, but I hope to catch up on Monday.
In the meantime… I had a little competition from one of my sessions this week. It is ok, I can take it. 
We are back from a few days away with friends. I did one of my 101 things in 1001 days (post coming soon!) and we are trying to catch up and get ready for busy season. Now for a little fun with things I have NOT done…
During our vacation this weekend, Cory and I did NOT go into the Pepper Palace hot sauce store and try the hottest salsa ever. No, we have way more sense than that. And, we didn’t have to leave the store after we tried the salsa because it was so hot we embarrassed ourselves. And we certainly didn’t start crying from how hot the salsa was and our friends were not laughing at us when they saw us crying. And Cory DID NOT go back into the Pepper Palace and purchase salsa for us to take home. No, we know our limits with hot food and would never do that.
And while at dinner with our friends, we did not sound like a herd of buffalo as we entered the Apple Barn restaurant. And I did not continuously feed apple fritters to my children as a way to keep them quiet so the other guests could enjoy their meal. And I was not happy when the couple that was giving me dirty looks because we had young children at our table left and was replaced with a family with children. Just saying… that’s all.
And yesterday on our way home from the mountains when Sarah had a diaper blow out, I did not put her back in the car seat with just a diaper and a shirt on. No, I am a better mom than that. I, of course, unpacked the entire car until I could get to our suitcase and found her new pants. : )
We are taking off a few days to spend some time with friends and enjoy the last weekend before the busy wedding season and portrait season start. We are available by email but it will be a little slower than usual. We will be back on Monday….
Another favorite from the wedding I am working on… yes, I am still working even though we are on vacation. But, when you are working on something like this, it is really work?
I am working through our wedding this weekend and these are just a few that I couldn’t wait to share. I will share more as I work through more but here are a few of the bride! Amazingly stunning pretty much sums it up.
You asked me for them! Do you need a few pictures of your children in thier spring outfits? Have you wanted to schedule a session for a long time and want to try a mini session first? Do you want to do something totally different and try an urban setting for your family? This is for you! These sessions will book up fast and we have already booked two of the urban setting sessions before I released it on the blog. I will be bringing my tutus and some funky hats to both locations. I can’t wait to see who I meet or who comes back in a full day of families!! So much fun!
Here are the details for mini sessions for the Spring Quarter. Here are the details:
