Bootcamp comes to an end!

Well its the 6th week of bootcamp and I've grown stronger and leaner (i think). Am now running 4 miles at a time and have begun the neverending battle to build the core. Thursday is our post testing day which will tell me how much of what I lost in this endeavor. I truly hope its good news. Its been a awe inspiring experience and I still haven't decided if I will return for another six weeks. The teamwork and camaraderie is the greatest gift I have gained here. If I don't come back I will miss everyone including our drill sergeants, Gunnar and Martin. Hoo Rah!

Starting Boudoir Photography!

Today I shot my first boudoir, my friend and neighbor and body builder was kind enough to come in and help me by posing so I could work on the details of shooting this kind of photography. It was awesome! She of course did wonderful she is so beautiful and so fit. You can check out her site http://www.marieannnewman.com/ if you want to hear about her shows and her training. We will have some more photos of her coming up on our web site...relatedimagesphoto.com soon, they may or may not be password protected so shoot us an email if its says you need a password to view. Looking forward to photographing many more women and still looking for models. Free sessions on all boudoir until 6/30/08!

Bootcamp - who-rah!

And so it begins, today was the first day of bootcamp. Max Motivation, http://gobootcamp.com/ heads up this class that is meeting at 5:15 AM, yes AM, Tuesdays and Thursday morning to get fit and strengthen our minds the way the Marines do. I am so excited to start this challenge. I have been running off and on now for the better part of 7 years and every year run into a Winter road block, too cold to be out (did it for a long time this year just can't take it anymore) or too bored. I always run alone mostly because I don't have any one crazy enough to get up and go when I go, very early and because I am not good with waiting on other people. This is organized fitness focused on motivation and team work. I am just so thrilled. Today was easy, lots of measuring, body fat count, weight, goal setting etc. Some push ups and sit ups and a timed one mile run. Thursday will be the real deal. Stay tuned to see how it feels to be a Marine and see how far I can go!!!!!!!!!!!

Boudoir Photography

I have recently been thinking alot about what I want to do when I grow up. I know its photography, almost always has been but what really excites me. I love the maternity and babies, I would never want to stop making them but I think I'd like to try my hand a boudoir photography. Very tasteful, very sexy imagery that a real woman, someone who is not a size 0 can appreciate. So with that being said I am looking for subjects, if you are or know anyone interested in doing this have them contact me directly. It will be painless and fun I promise and you will be surprised!

The Sickness Hit Our House!

Well I had hoped it would miss us but the boy got the bug this past weekend. So we were all in the house on Sunday, couldn't go do anything so we entertained ourselves. Gabi worked and finished a paint by numbers and the sick one, Zac with Spongebob worked on a velvet poster. Mom and Dad, well drank wine and Dad worked on a puzzle and Mom cooked all day. Now we can only hope to miss the actual flu! Come on Spring!!!

Elegant Wedding Showcase Booth

Here is our booth from the bridal show we did yesterday! We had a great time meeting everyone and networking with new vendors!

Uncle Tate's Birthday Party!

This is our family at least the ones that are in the South. Went out to dinner at Campobello's for Tate's birthday. Great food, really really enjoyed my veal saltimbocca! Good restaurant if you've never been, I recommend but don't forget to bring your wine, they don't have their license yet but you can bring your own.

Happy Birthday bro! Just missing one! Boo Hoo, Bill!
