Rain Rain Go Away... and take the coldness with u

I love the rain... but it's not great for photographing outdoor pictures... and this weather is really getting my clock off... my body thinks it's time to hibernate all ready!  I would love for the warm weather to come back.. but I have a feeling it's just going to get colder from here.  So it's time for long sleeves and jeans... there are many cute fall and winter outfits so it should still be great for all the senior's who have outdoor sessions scheduled!  And I'm keeping my finger's crossed for a warm front before the cold really hits!

Paint

Well upon returning to the studio I decided it was time to bring some color into the studio! So I have undertaken a major project of painting! It is going really slow but I think it is going to be awesome! I painted our logo on the wall... it took forever! But I love how it turned out so it was worth it in the end!! Because of the painting adventure we are closed to in studio appointments until I know that no one will be attacked by paint drops when they come in! :0) (I swear everytime I walk in I get paint on me!)

The beautiful logo... that has taken forever!

Heading Home

Well I'm heading back to Omaha from the beautiful city of Tampa! It has been so nice here that it was hard to leave! I am flying back Southwest Airlines and am wonderfully impressed with their customer service and turn around times! The flight attendants are very friendly and we have a layover in Chicago (another city I love) and we are getting turned around and boarding very quickly!

I love palm trees! I used to have one outside my bedroom window when I lived in Savannah, GA and it's amazing how it's the little things that make you smile everyday!

My fabulous view on the 14th floor at the Hilton! I don't know how I was lucky enough to get the top floor but it was nice!

It was so nice to see flowers and plants in bloom! I was playing with the sun coming through the leaves to capture the warm weather! I don't realize how gray it gets in the winter until you see the green leaves and the sun is shining! I can't wait for spring!!! :0)

Tampa Bay FL

Hello ALL!! So the beginning of 2008 has been kicked off with a conference and a head start! If you didn't know I love to attend conferences and be educated by the best in the industry! I think it is really important to try and learn as much as possible because almost everything we have encountered in life someone else has gone through and persevered.

I have learned a lot at this conference as I do every year and am revitalized to take on the New Year with lots of new changes to implement to make us a stronger business! Stay tuned...

On another note it got up to 81 today here in Tampa and I am reluctant to come back to the cold weather! I love the sun and I'm so envious that people get to swim in January!
