next weekend - Bridal Shoot with OSP
May 16th - In Maryland for Preakness (we have god seats this year!)
May 23td - I think I'm free! Hopefully we can go somewhere though cause I'm ready to get out of town!
May 30th - A photoshoot with TWINS!!! and then I ride my bike the next day for the Tour De Cure.
June 6th - Maybe camping and hiking somewhere

Playing Catch Up
This week I managed to catch up on all my photography stuff. I finished the wedding proofs, I finished the baby session proofs, I ordered referral cards, ordered vendor postcards, and I ordered some more sample prints including some thin wraps!! I can't wait til some of this stuff gets here. Anyway if you don't follow my photog blog check this out. When I shoot baby sessions I like to keep a photojournalistic approach. I call this lifestyle sessions. In other words I want to capture the kids doing this they normally do...such as being fed, taking bath, or playing with a toy. This sideshow is my take on the baby session I just did.
Tonight should be nice and relaxing. We bought crab meat at Costco so I'm making Maryland style crab cakes at home. Yummy Yummy! BUt we'll be back in MD in a few weekends and will surly get our fill of crab then. But we were totally craving it.
But here's the thing...Costco switched up the brand of crab meat they carry. It used to be a reputable name that I knew in Maryland. Now it Chicken of the Sea. Well, I opened the can, tasted the crab meat, and it was MUSHY! I know exactly when this happens..the crabs are coked to long and have to much water in them. I was very upset since this stuff is not cheap. So I sent them an email. We'll see what they say. But this stuff never should have passed through quality control! We cooked with it anyway, and it was okay...just not the great crab cakes I'm used to.
Tonight I went for a run! I was so nice out...something like 64 degrees and a light breeze. I wish it would stay like this all the way through summer. I'm dreaking the summer heat. But at least it hasn't hit yet. Hopefully we have another month before the comes.
Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Another Weekend Come and Gone
Ahh...another weekend at home. We were thinking about going skiing but it warmed up drastically this weekend. So we didn't think skiing was such a great idea. I'm so itching to go somewhere!!!! But I think is going to be a few more weeks with Dave's schedule. We're thinking about going to Yosemite in early May though. Then its off to MD for Preakness. At the end of the month I will be riding my bike 62 miles in the Tour De Cure. I realized this weekend that I need to start raising money for this. As there is a minimum you have to raise to participate. Then I thought well I can use my photography to my benefit. So I'm auctioning off a photoshoot on my blog! I hate sending out emails asking people to donate. So I'm using this as a method instead. I also have a photoshoot lined up with 1 year old twins that same weekend.
I wish I had thought of this auction thing earlier as this weekend was the Relay for Life. I could have done something there as well. I also participate in that every year. This year Dave and I signed up for 3 hours of time to walk/run. I ended up running like 10 miles!!! Soooo makes me want to train for another half marathon. Although I'm worried about the stress fracture thing. I'm really not even that sore today. I did like 46 laps on the track, but I walked a few laps with Dave. So I figure I did 11.5 miles total, but probably walked a mile or so. I was proud of Dave cause he ended up doing 5 miles total and ran about half of that.

It's Nice to Be Well Again
Whoo Hoo..I feel so much better! May even hit up the gym tonight! Still have some sniffles but I can deal with that! The weekend was rather uneventful with me being sick.
The cool thing this weekend was Dave went to the store on Saturday. He walked in told me to close my eyes and said he had an Easter present. I was a bit down cause I was sick and mammoth got fresh powder! I wanted to go skiing! So he said he'd brought skiing to me. We have We Ski for the Wii but have never bought a Wii Fit...now we have one! And you can use it with We Ski. That was a nice surprise!
Sunday I was mostly better, so I edited photos and did taxes! Ughh...taxes suck. And I so hope I did them right! I still have to do the state ones though before Wednesday. Yeah we procrastinated. We were going to pay someone this year, but that just never happened. So now I'm stuck with it.
The awesome thing is so far Dave has not been hit with this flu thing. I'm so glad about that. I told him I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I was in so much pain, between the body aches, sore throat, ears, and headaches.

Sick!
It's been so long since I've been sick that I seriously think I forgot just how awful it can be!I've only been to work 2.5 hours in the last 2 days. I've been in lots of pain between my throat, back, and ears. I hope I am better real soon. But I'm doing better than yesterday since I'm actually on the laptop.

So Far This Weekend...
So this weekend Dave's sister and dad have been out visiting. And its been one of my 3 day weekends. Friday I had a photo shoot with a 3 month old baby. 3 mos is a hard age to do, for sure. I learned some lessons, but I do think I got some good shots. You can see one on my photo blog and more will be coming. The rest of the day on Friday we went bowling and cooked dinner at home. They played some Mario cart on Wii during the evening. Then it was off to bed cause we had to get up at 5:30am!
Yup 5:30 on a Saturday! needed enough time to fuel up and get down to Santa Anita for our annual Derby Day 5K run. Due to lots of circumstances I haven't run very much lately and I knew I wouldn't do well. I did what I qualify as "ok". I typically run at about a 7:30- 7:45 pace for 5 K races...and this one I was at just about the 8 min/mile pace...so much slower for me. Surprisingly I felt good strength and endurance wise, my downfall was that I was severely dehydrated when I started. I immediately had cotton mouth and therefore got a bad cramp in my side...before I even reached mile 1!!! I pushed my way through it, but I was in pain. So I had to slow down. My first mile was at 7:45...but I slowed down a lot after that. This race is hard though cause its kinda hilly, then there is the fact that you finish on a horse track. So I finished 13th in my age group. Which isn't bad when there are over 2000 people running! So not to say I'm disappointed, it just wasn't my best race. My official time isn't my actual time since they don't do chip timing. But My stop watch said I did 24:51. I'm usually in the 23 range...so about a minute off!!! That's a lot in the running world!
The rest of the day spent at Santa Anita then it was off to Pasadena for Spanish Tapas. We completed the day with an exhibition game at Dodger Stadium. This was my first time to dodger stadium...I have to say I was NOT impressed! Being from Baltimore and being used to Camden Yards...this stadium is very out dated and plain. Not what you would expect for LA!

Miscellaneous Thursday Night
10 Misc. Things off the top of my head:
1. No I'm not sad or upset that the terps lost last week
2. I think they did well in the tourney and showed people they belonged, despite some fo the talk.
3. I am glad Memphis lost tonight, as I always thought they were overrated.
4. WOW...Duke lost! By a lot!
5. Dave is taking training in Portland in April - I'm thinking I may go up with him over the weekend
6. I had a wedding last weekend, that went pretty well. Despite some tough leanings about Off camera flash. But that kind of stuff will only make me better. My next wedding is in June
7. I have a baby session next Friday
8. I don't like the fact that spring is here...that means the heat of summer is right around the corner.
9. Winter returned last Sunday...we had rain, hail. and snow flurries!
10. We are going to try and go up to Yosemite this spring.
I'll leave you with one photo from the wedding I shot last Saturday...
One last thought...The F22 crash was just an incredibly sad event. I still can't believe that happened out in our desert.

Bracket Buster!
So, how many of you had Cal on your bracket today!!!?
Oh yeah...its nice to upset someone!!! Go Terps. Cal 71 and UMD 84!!!! I love it when the opposing teams fans try and make fun or put down Vasquez cause all it does is fire him up to do better! Hence the steal after the little airball he threw. My Terps rock!!!
This was out of an article written by Dan Wetzel on yahoo sports!
• Maryland defeated Cal 84-71, which means Mike Silver is wrong and Cal isn’t the center of the universe.
The question going forward is which Maryland team will show up? We’ve seen the Maryland team that got blown out by Duke and lost to Virginia in the regular season finale and had people speculating about Gary Williams’ job.
The one that pulled away from Cal, however, had the look of the Terrapin club that beat North Carolina and Michigan State this year. It had great ball movement, played with passion and made shots. It’s obviously capable of beating anyone. In a game with Memphis, the Terps’ Greivis Vasquez, who had 27 against Cal, could be the best player on the court – Tyreke Evans included.
If that’s the case, the Tigers are going to be in for a battle.
I'm hoping for another upset! This time a #2 seed!

Sun Flare
With a wedding coming up this weekend and lots of things I've been learning I have been practicing some photography techniques around the house. I now have the equipment to be able to shoot with off and on camera flash during the reception. Exciting! Feeling very anxious aot my wedding this Saturday. I think its cause I have so many things I want to do that I've never done before. Anyway, today I practiced capturing some sun flare. I'm starting to love two things...sun flare and adding texture in PS.
2 of My Favorite Things: Snow and Bball
So if you haven't seen this on facebook, here is our video from skiing last weekend. I threw this together pretty quickly on the drive home. My first video like this. Keep in mind, I'm not a videographer. :)
_________________________
On a complete side note, I just need to talk a little basketball since I'm a basketball nut. So all those fair weather UMD fans that were putting the team and the coach down earlier this year - sit down and shut up! UMD basketball is just amazing. Yes they put us through our ups and downs emotionally but Gary is a tremendous coach. You just have to believe. Believe in the power of Gary. So let me ask
- Who is the number 10 seed in the west….oh yes, Maryland!
- Who just put a hurting on Wake Forest (#9 ranked) Friday night…yup Maryland.
- And who stuck and held their own against the great Duke team…yup Maryland again.
Seriously people, why do you always feel like you need to blame someone when things aren't going your way. Anyway, Fear the turtle!!! This is a school with basketball history.. You don't go to the NCAA tourney 11 straight years then just quit having that drive. This team wants to be there more than anybody. As a MD fan I do have to admit we are spoiled. We expect our team to be in the NCAA. It's not a hope, its an expectation! We have a great coach on our side and the last few years have been rough as a MD fan. Watching them get squeaked out by other teams. Lets see how it all plays out. Hopefully this is another start to big NCAA run. I'd love to see them back in the championship game in a few years. The terps have a consistency in basketball that not a lot of other schools can say they have (I believe its 13 invitations to the tourney in the last 16 years)…ah and lets not forget the 2002 champions!
Congratulation to the UMD women's as well. Earning a number 1 seed in the tourney is fabulous! It's great having both teams in the tourney this year.
Go Terps!
My Picks… I'm indecisive though.
Memphis (yes I'd love to see MD advance and win this game and I think if they make it there they can, but my gut is saying Memphis, so I'm going with my gut)
North Carolina
Pitt
Louisville
The winner this year: I pick UNC beating Louisville

More from mammoth
First of all I have to say, I'm a big dork on the video camera!!!!
So yesterday was incredible. We skied at mammoth and had a great time. It was windy again, so that stunk, but otherwise nice temps and blue skies. We also did something I never thought we would do for a while. As I stood up on top of the mountain looking over the edge, I got that almost queasy (sp?) feeling in the stomach. My mind was saying..turn back and run, well ski away. Now while you can. I was scared so much. I was afraid of falling and breaking something. I went over the edge and now my mind was saying "now you've done it, now what are you going to do, you have to get down this alive". Then I made my first turn and I was in the clear. I was on my way down a double black diamond at mammoth. Was I crazy!? Let me tell you it was one of the scariest things I've ever skied, but also the most fun! I loved it. I even went back for more! I loved skiing the steep terrain. I loved it even more that I got down and didn't fall!!!! It was such an accomplishment to finally do that. I knew I was a decent enough skier, I was just to scared. We both skied it several times, and we both loved it.
Here is the view heading up to the top. We were going to ski cornice bowl (a not as difficult trail, a single black) at the very top.
This is me after I skied the double black - yes I'm a big dork in the video. Sorry about the wind. What I say in the beginning is "I just skied that".
And one more...Dave on the lift.

Race Style Skiing
Today we tried something new...skiing through the gates. There was a free course open. IT was pretty sweet. I was a bit nervous that I would totally embarass myslef, but it wasn't nearly as bad s I was making it out to be. In fact we went back to do it again and this time I went much faster.

Terps Are Rockin The Georgia Dome
I'm at mammoth at the moment, but I partly wish I had been at the Georgia Dome tonight!!! For those of you that know me, you know I love ACC basketball. Not just love it...I'm pretty much fanactical about it. I live for November to come when b-ball starts...and I'm sad when March is over. So My team ...Maryland has had one of those years...and up and down sort of seasons. Wins against ranked teams and losses against not so good teams. It's been an emotional roller coaster for terps fans. But last night and tonight make up for it all!!! First they beat NC State...ok not such a big deal as we already beat them this year. But tonight we upset another ranked team....#9 Wake Forest. And it was an 11 point win. Seriously go terps. I will be on cloud nine if they can pull off a win against duke tomorrow!!! Who ever thought it would be Duke vs UMD in the semifinals of the ACC tourney!!! GO TERPS!!!

One More (Thailand)
One of these days I'll get through all of my Thailand photos! Really, I will! I think!
Anyway I edited this one tonight...not much, just a light warm up in photoshop. I really like it. I love the sun flare that I caught in this shot.

Headshot!!!
It's about time I have a headshot from another pro photog!!!! I've been needing this for about a year now.
Here it is....
and a couple of self portraits from today....
I've finally got back on track...exercised 4out of the last 6 days. And it feels so good! Tomorrow a 5 mile run!
I also taught myself how to use the pro retouch action, finally! I love it...why didn't I figure this out earlier!

Surpirse!
So I saw the B School party video was posted and I decided ok I'll take a peak. Little did I know I was going to make an appearance! I didn't even go to the party, although I wish I had as it looks like a lot of fun. Maybe next year. So there is a clip of Becker doing headshots, and guess whose photo he's taking...yup me. That was a suprise.

March Randomness
Some random things for this week. We didn't go anywhere this weekend, although I wanted to go skiing! :)
So I worked all weekend on getting sample stuff together for my photog business. Figure now is the time while I'm so motivated from WPPI. I feel like I need things to show people and I want to do a bridal show either this year or the beginning of next year to help get my name out there. So I ordered print enlargements mounted on styrene board, designed and ordered wedding postcard ads, designed a sample e-session guestbook from finao, ordered another mounted sample print (but I made this one different), and got most of the way through a design for a sample flush mount album. Next are sample save the date cards and a proof box (from finao). Photos of everything coming soon!
Dave and I joined a bowling league with two friends of ours. We missed the start of the league so we went to make up our scores last night. I guess I can still bowl! We did well. I bowled about a 173 average (176, 173, and 169). Dave also did pretty well…he had one game that was 210.
Thirdly - I have to give some props to my Terps! Go Maryland!!!! The Women's bball team placed first in ACC regular season play and are ranked 5th in the country. The Men's team has continued playing better down the stretch and beat NC state. Hopefully there will be men's and women's teams in the NCAA tourney again. I love Maryland bball! Just so awesome and so much emotion. Dave and I totally enjoyed watching the game together last night…its so fun to watch together and I'm glad he's a terps bball fan as well. But how can you not..the ACC is such an amazing bball conference. They say 8 teams form the ACC will probably get into the NCAA tourney!
I ran on Saturday - I felt sluggish though. Due to all the vacations I haven't been as good with my running and now we have a 5K race is about a month. Time to get my but in gear! I feel like I'm not anywhere near my typical fitness level right now.. So I'm running tonight for sure!

The Men's team has continued playing better down the stretch and beat NC state. Hopefully there will be men's and women's teams in the NCAA tourney again. I love Maryland bball! Just so awesome and so much emotion. Dave and I totally enjoyed watching the game together last night…its so fun to watch together and I'm glad he's a terps bball fan as well. But how can you not..the ACC is such an amazing bball conference. They say 8 teams form the ACC will probably get into the NCAA tourney!
I ran on Saturday - I felt sluggish though. Due to all the vacations I haven't been as good with my running and now we have a 5K race is about a month. Time to get my but in gear! I feel like I'm not anywhere near my typical fitness level right now.. So I'm running tonight for sure!
