As you know, today is Valentine’s Day. I wanted to wish you all a happy day and hope you are in the best of spirits on this fine day. I also wanted to say hi to my sweety. Hi sweety! I couldn’t dream of a more perfect Valentine or bride, than you. I’m so excited for our big day. I love you babycakes!
MY Valentine!

Back in May, I went to Chicago to attend Pictage’s Partner Conference to network and rub elbows with some of the biggest names in the wedding photography industry. The Conference was filmes by the uber talented Ron Dawson of CinematicStudios whom created a few short promotional videos. I am in a couple of them which isn’t that big of a deal, but in one, the famous Mike Colón gives me a little intro. For those of you who know me, you know I like to have fun and make people feel comfortable, so check out my “Jenny Walk” around the 29 second mark of the video. I did this in front of the 50 of us that went out to dinner. I had a blast at PartnerCon and if there is one in Chicago again this year, I’ll definitely be there! Enjoy!
Back in July, my nephew, Gavin spent some time with my mom and I at my mom’s. My mom (grandma) grows carrots in her back yard for Gavin and when Gavin visits, he checks on them and samples some of the goods. While there, Gavin caught a baby frog and kept it in a container for a few hours before letting it go. He also brought over his Thomas The Train bike and we raced. Then we played around with this huge pink ball, which was the most fun by far.
Gavin and his produce…this must have been the smallest carrot I’ve ever witnessed anyone trying to consume.

Gavin the bug-catcher.
Gavin’s froggy and his creative way of releasing it back into the wild or should I say mom’s flower garden.
Lets ride!
Oh we had a ball…a big pink ball!

LOVE the one with the frog in mid air. How cute is that??? Also loving the blur behind the bike. Great capture!
Back on December 23rd, I went with some of my brothers, my dad, and my grandpa to a Detroit Lions game at Ford Field. They played the Kansas City Chiefs and fortunately for us, they won, 25-20. This was my third time going to Ford Field, but my first NFL game I’ve ever been to. As a little added bonus, they had a tribute to Barry Sanders and some other former linemen from when Barry still was playing. It was nice for just the men to hang out together and watch some football…especially during the holiday season. It was a horribly bitter cold day, but that’s just the way it is here in Michigan.

The view.
All the men (minus me of course) walking around the tunnel before the game. We got there really early, as you can tell.

Jackie Blair - Thanks for the comments! The workshop was great- I really enjoyed being down there for a week. I only really followed a little of Davina’s work so I learned a lot about the other girls who were sooo sweet and helpful. Kelly was my mentor & I thought Lauren was really cool because we are about the same age. I can’t believe how much she has already accomplished! and Millie was HILARIOUS. It was totally worth going to and Lauren had some great PS tips! Loved it!
Rachael - What a fantastic picture! Love it.
Kassy - *smooch*
I love you!
