Love Affair, here I come!

Well, I'm headed to the Love Affair Workshop tomorrow morning and I'm super excited (and anxious)! When I get back I will, for sure, be posting lots of pictures from the week. I am SO pumped about this workshop! Lauren Clark, Kelly Moore Clark, Millie Holloman, and Davina Fear are the four fabulous photographers that are putting on this workshop. I have been following these ladies photography for a looong time, and I feel so fortunate and blessed to be attending. Thank you Stoney for a fabulous birthday, anniversary, Christmas (and all other holidays) present. Everyone in Colorado Springs, start booking your sessions - I'm going to have a bundle of new tricks up my sleeve and ready to put to use asap!


This one is for Stoney. I took some pictures of Daisy last week to send Stoney. She's a pretty photogenic dog (if I do say so myself). ;)

The Bacon Bros

So, about three weeks ago now, I went with my friend Kelly to the first EVER concert on top of Pikes Peak! There was a hike up the Peak (which we found out about too late) raising money for the Love Hope Strength Foundation (LHS). Check it out; they are a "music-centric cancer charity dedicated to providing support for cancer centers..." Kevin Bacon and his brother actually did this hike with the group and then perfomed. There was a crowd for the concert, but not a huge one. I was able to be in the front, probably 5 feet (max) away from the Bros. I had never heard The Bacon Brothers' music, but it was pretty good. In fact, I was impressed and (I admit) a little star-struck. You can check their music here. Here are some photos from the event.

That isn't smoke at the bottom of this picture - that's a cloud. The top of Pikes Peak is elevation ~14,110; in the clouds and above the timber line.

This is a group called Drums for Cures INC. They also raise money for cancer research. They were SO great as well...just loving life and playing their drums.
