happy birthday…to me!

loving this image my awesome friend MK sent me this morning, and therefore deem it worthy of being my happy birthday image for this silly post :)

its a lovely 60 degree day in dc and i plan on enjoying it! it’s already been a great morning – i enjoyed the sunday paper and a chai latte as well as the countless emails, facebook messages and phone calls from my awesome family + friends – thank you! i’m getting ready to do a little *fun* shopping in georgetown, swing by the national gallery of art, maybe snap some photos of the city, and then prepare for an incredible dinner at citronelle – YAY!

it’s funny how we don’t get as excited about or birthdays as we get older…especially when there aren’t any traditional milestones to look forward to…but as much as i’ve “complained” about turning 28 i am really excited about all the big plans i have for this year particularly with blonde photo, llc and i’m so grateful for the 28 years of life and experience that i’ve had so far – i should be so lucky to have many more ahead of me.

interesting fact: i was born 3.3.80 at 3:38 am – and today its 3.3.08 – that’s got to be extra special, no?

i love park city.

further proof of the incredible time i had last week out in park city, utah for the sundance film festival.

after a long day of photographing our amazing crew of actors, super-talented director extraordinaire sven kamm managed to wrestle the camera away from my frozen fingers and got a few shots of me laughing (of course!) in the snow…so i can thank him for the new super fun profile pic i’ll be using for now…(see right column.)

the year of adobe.

i welcomed 2008 with a very long list of resolutions and goals–about 138, and counting. woo hoo! i love goals, and i love resolutions, and this year i’m very excited to make them all happen. photo-wise i have lots of goals, least of which include incorporating more off camera lighting and applying actions to some of my photos…which i can now start working on since i just got CS3! my macbook struggles with CS2 and i’ve never really been into photoshop but i am super anxious to get to work and start trying some new things out. a huge thank you to my incredible, supportive boyfriend who outdid himself and gave me CS3 last night as a new years present – OK, so it was technically supposed to be an xmas gift, but it took its time arriving by mail, and since it is going to be pivotal in accomplishing some of my new years goals i’m going to coin it my first, and best new years present ever. are we seeing a theme here? john rocks!

here he is modeling (slightly against his will) one morning in new orleans…handsome, thoughtful, gives awesome gifts – what more could a girl want?

i love my job.

it’s so true – just ask anyone that has worked with me, hired me, or been around me when i’m shooting – i have the time of my life when i’m weilding the camera – so for fun i thought i’d share some of the more interesting shots that have been taken of me in action…you can be assured if i’m covering your event i do whatever it takes to get the perfect shot – whether it means getting down or getting dirty – i’ve done it all. and i have a BLAST doing it.
