it’s almost WPPI time!

Two weeks from today I leave for Vegas to attend WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International).  This is my first time attending this yearly event and I am very excited!   WPPI is attended by over 12,000 photographers from around the world and is filled with classes, inspiration, parties (Airhorns and Lasers!), a trade show (like a kid in a candy store!!!), competitions (go PurpleNickel!!) and lots of other fun!  In anticipation of all of the photographers I am going to meet during the week, I had my super-amazing graphic designer, Nadia Marks of Ready Go Paper Studio make me some super-duper business-card-ish-but-more-than-that-thing-a-ma-bobs.  They are cute little matchbooks that, when unfolded, reveal a years worth of monthly calendars, all of my contact info, and a fun little What the Duck comic.

random bits about me

I thought I’d take a little break from my photography and sewing and design work to share some random stuff about me as well as some photos through my childhood until now….

*I don’t do well with anything less than 10 hours of sleep and I don’t like to be awake before 9 a.m. no matter what time I went to bed.

*Speaking of sleep- I have been using the same pillow for 25 years!  (eww…I know!)  I’m very picky about my pillow.  My dad got me a new one a few years ago, which I like, so I use both now.

*I am one of 8 children, but I am an only child.  Confused??

*I’ve only played one insturment during my lifetime and that was the clarinet in 5th grade.  However, I couldn’t play and march at the same time, so I faked it!

*My favorite ice cream from Cold Stone is cheesecake but I HATE it with graham cracker crust added!  It’s like eating sand!  I add cherry pie filling and roasted almonds instead.  YUM!

*The movie I’ve seen the most times in my life is Overboard with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel.  I can watch it many times in a row and it never gets old.

*I HATE ROLLER COATERS!  I’ve been on everyone of them at Disneyland once just to say that I did it, but I won’t do it ever again.

*I do not enjoy hiking at all even though I took a one week white-water rafting trip down the Colorado river and then had to hike out of the Grand Canyon. Eight miles…zig-zagging…straight up…alone.

Well, thanks so much for checking in on me and my photography blog.  Come back anytime!
