Macy’s rocked last night!
I have been working for almost a year with Macy’s to become part of their Bridal Registry Team. They just had a huge makeover in Kenwood, and kicked it off with a Sip and Scan last night. I was thrilled to be there and meet so many wonderful couples. The ladies there in the Kenwood store are awesome, and they really know their stuff! I cannot wait for December 9, we are being featured with our very own event. If you know of any engaged couples, or you will soon be a bride, stop in and we will create a wonderful portrait for you and your groom to kick off your holiday season.

We visited several of the popular locals in town  first having Dave  teach the the tools  needed, and then we broke into groups where myself and the other coaches took the small groups and worked one on one, practicing lighting and posing models

Holiday portraits are the best gifts!
Every year the best holiday tradition at our house is watching the kids take it all in. They get such big chuckles now about the silly things they got excited about when they were little, or listening to mom tell them AGAIN about me staying up all night trying to put the toys together. But the next best tradition is me putting on the red pointed hat and turning into an elf with a camera. We do so many sessions for our families this time of year. They proudly send out holiday cards with their photos on them, and we frequently hear the prints they gave as gifts were a huge hit.
