New iPhone and AT&T
Lots of stuff going on regarding the newest releases
of upgrades for the Apple iPhone. Lots of disgruntled
folks out there feeling the pain. Also, the newest
iPhone will be available tomorrow morning 6/19)!
However, I woke to discover that, overnight, AT&T had \lifted
restrictions due to the wide spread pandemonium over
contracts and puts me poised for a new phone!
So I will join my brother-in-law, Doug, at the Mall
of America early tomorrow morning.
Not going to go 32Gs, that’s just insane!
Think I’ll stick with the 16Gs.
Going out on my first “Rock The Senior” shoot today.
Something I thought up to enhance the tradtional
senior session. Kind of like a “Trash The Dress” but
I didn’t dare refer to it as “Trash The Senior”!
Here, I will approach the shoot like I always do then
stop, switch it up with radical hair and make-up
(being a hairdresser for 28 years helps), and go into
more dramatic imagery. The guys are welcome too.
A teeny bit of eyeliner and some whacked out hair
or a hop in the lake will transcend your traditional
session into more of a fashion editorial look.
I canNOT wait to get started! Spots are limited
throughout the summer but be sure to visit my
Rock The Senior group page on Facebook and check here
periodically for gallery additions.
Think you can handle it? Refer 3 friends and earn a
FREE Rock The Senior session!
Let’s ROCK!

I’ll post a slide show in a day or two…

Megan & Hanna.
Megan
Hanna
Megan & Hanna.
If these two were any better friends they might just be
the same person! Megan, I’ve known since she was about 2
so this was a pretty special shoot for me.
Now,Hanna I’ve only known for a little over a year but
she is so close to the this family that she, too, is like
a family member.
Thanks to Jim & Jan for handing me this memory filled
opportunity and making me feel like one of the family!
We did a lot yesterday. I shot these two separate and then
together as they are certain to have a combined grad party
next summer and THAT will be some bash, indeed!
I’m not getting the opportunity to play with any of the
images today as I need to finish preparing for the pool
portion of my SCUBA certification today. I’ll be in the
pool for about 4 or 5 hours today. I keep forgetting to
mention that I have a love for SCUBA diving. I’ve had
the chance to dive like 4 times but not be certified.
This winter when we hit Mexico, I’ll do some diving!
Okay, it’s 12:40 now and I hadn’t put this post up so
I played with just a couple of Hanna & Megan’s images.
Here they are….
Now I gotta run! SCUBA Sue is on her way!
Melissa.
I finished with Melissa’s proofs today.
I’ll share a few with you….
I’m gonna work on a slide show and put up
a podcast for her, I think. Sound good Melissa?
I got to see Betty & Alice yesterday. I love them.
It does my heart good to see my friend’s cats!
Send me a cool photo of your cat and I’ll put them
up on my blog…send a little bio along with it
like, full name, aks’s, favorite toys, snacks,
places to sleep…stuff like that!
Flying Cloud Air Show is going on right now
through Sunday. They come in right over our
house…pretty cool. I”ll try to grab a couple
of pix over the next couple of days.
Have an incredible weekend!
Off to a party with some crazy former neighbors.
Oh, and tomorrow is the Chanhassen location
of the MiracleKids Triathlon. 7am! See ya there!
Paige.
A good friend of mine called a few months
ago and asked if I would be interested in
photographing their daughter for her senior
portraits. I, of course, said “absolutely!”
Thank you so much for allowing me this wonderful
opportunity and thanks, Bambi, for coming along
and acting as my assistant!
Here’s Paige…I can’t believe she’ll be 18
this December. She is just beautiful.
eden prairie gets dumped on…

see across the street! we are certain
to have mushrooms come up in the lawn
any minute! saves me a trip to the store! 
i finished up elena’s proofs yesterday.
here’s a few more…
gearing up for a Bella wedding this saturday.
megan i are taking this one again.
here’s megan working at the kelley/orehek
wedding with me on 9/8.
i must say that when i don’t have a wedding
already scheduled to photograph under my own
name, i LOVE working for bella! for me, it
works. i have met and worked with some really
terrific photographers from all over and
the stuff we share like techniques and
equipment favorites etc….such fun!
i’ve made some lifelong friends and there
is sure to be more down the road.
and when the time comes to let it go…
i’ll be okay with that too. 
thanks bella pictures, i’m in your corner.
rescheduling with corey, my web designer,
soon so that i can make that 2008 deadline
for myself…it’s all about goals right?
i’ll be certain to call for a re-launch in
january…it’ll be a big ‘ol bash for sure!
~today? finish something you started recently!
here’s elena…
alright…this was my first shoot with my
new camera. i’m still fumbling with the
bells and whistles and buttons and stuff.
everything is different from my 10D.
i’m a manual gal..i like to compose in the
camera so i’ll learn quickly and before
i know it i’ll be able to operate it with
my eyes closed!
most of today i’ll be at a lecture by
julie klaasmeyer and on wednesday
evening i’ll be attending a lecture by
clay blackmore & jane conner-zieser
dedicated t the memory of monte zucker.
today is tax day for some of us so i had
better get that in the mail before i head
off to see julie!
final touches on diane & jim’s album today.
still waiting on megnan & randy clay’s to
arrive (soon).
another bella wedding this saturday. i’ll be
shooting with megan again. CRAZY fun, that girl!
much more tomorrow!
oh, mike & kiki, are you going to tell us
whether you are having a boy or a girl???
a glorious sunday…
finally. i finished zach’s proofs.
now it’s on to elena’s.
we had such a gas yesterday.
we mostly shot out at the university
of minnesota landscape arboretum.
it’s really got everything!
water, bridges, fields, flowers,
fall color, spring color…
seriously, if you can find a little
nook & cranny somewhere tucked away
that no one’s found then you just
don’t know where to look!
3 weddings going on out there.
so, pretty much crazy busy.
however, we did arrive around 4 so
we beat the crowds for parking!
here’s a few more of zach…
i have a tcppa lecture tomorrow pretty
much all day so i’ll do my very best to
pick a couple of my favs of elena and
pop them up here tomorrow morning.
get out and enjoy this gorgeous day!!
