mila | tustin portrait photographer . hodgsons
running around a park with 2 boys and a soccer ball is a lot of fun and a lot of energy.  i don't know how cathy and ron do it all the time but they do it with huge smiles on their faces and plenty of laughs to go around.  i admire them so much!   wyatt and morgan are growing by the yard it seems!  time goes by so quickly and the kids are sprouting like beans on steroids.  one blink and morgan (the little guy) who was drooling for my camera just a year ago was running past my frame so quickly the camera couldn't even keep up (neither could i actually).  i'm gonna have to upgrade my e

mila | stray thoughts . pondering over baby stuff
we're over half way with the pregnancy and i can really feel her moving around now (especially after yoga class).  curtis gets a big grin on his face every time he looks at the belly.  we get lotsa snuggle time these days with curtis pressing his ear onto my belly trying to hear her move around.  we talk to her a lot.  no singing... that would be bad.  trust me.  lots of discussion about names going on right now.  just lots n lots of stuff in the air waiting for her arrival.  we can't wait! i think the thing we ponder over a lot is what she's going to look like.  even in the name conversation

mila | dane sanders roadshow workshop
i'm not a workshop junkie.  actually i'm pretty level headed about what workshops i want to attend.  there are a LOT of options out there and the options were overwhelming when i was just starting out.  i set out with my priorities and then attacked methodically, even with all the homework on each one it's still a hit or miss on whether or not the money spent was well spent.  i never knew until i was done with the workshop if it was worth it.  different needs for different people you know?  up until now the only workshop that was REALLY worth the money for me was the lightroom 2 day intesive with jack davis that i took almost two years ago.  it was $

mila | MY baby bump week 20
i feel movement! a few girlfriends told me that at this stage feeling the baby move is like feeling gas bubbles in your belly. well... i had some false alarms a couple of weeks ago. they really were gas bubbles. it wasn't the munchkin AT ALL. but now... it's totally her! curtis is so jealous. he wants to feel the movement too. so cute. he's constantly patting and rubbing the belly in hopes of feeling her move around in there.i'm so attached to my family. we might not see each other often but we are in each other's minds all the time. facebook, email and skype brings us all so much closer together. curtis' parents moved to virginia a few

mila | getting pulled over
i signed up for the dane sanders roadshow (photog workshop) and from a long list of cities to choose from i picked new york.  curtis and i LOOOOOOVE new york.  we got in town a couple of days ago, taking in the sights, sounds and shopping before the workshop.  it was supposed to be pouring rain these past few days but i'm thinkin we brought a little bit of cali with us when we landed coz it's been kinda dry (thank god).   there's something about this city that's just exhilarating.  in cali, if i have to walk too fa
