‘Focus on Imaging’ convention

Just a few days ago I was reading up on a photography convention where a photographer I have followed for years was going to be speaking.  Being that I had the day off of work and that it was only in Birmingham (though at the time I did not exactly know how far away that was from Brighton) I decided to make a plan to go.  With my husband taking care of the kids after school, my train tickets booked, and my camera bag in tow; I got on three different trains to the convention.  I have to say I was a little overwhelmed when I first got inside.  It was quite packed.  I got to listen to Lara Jade (www.larajade.com), a fashion photographer based out of London and NY, twice and loved it.  I stayed until closing and finally made some purchases right before heading out.  Despite the lenses I was drooling over, I picked up a few different photography books.  On the whole the day was very motivation and passion filled.  It was just the rejuvenation I needed in my photography career. 

Feeling so inspired, motivated, & refreshed! Loved meeting other creatives & new people.


First day of March

One thing I really love about my new phone is that it came with a few soothing alarm tones.  When I awoke to the alarm clock this morning I got it into my head instantly that we were quite late.  The boys and I had fifteen minutes to get ready and leave the house.  But when we got to an empty school after our 30 minute walk, I realized we were indeed an hour early.  Apparently I was too tired this morning to read my clock correctly.  The picture to the left is from the honey selection at the store we browsed this morning. 
Spending our extra time before school having a juice and a smoothie. 
Beautiful pink flowers that we saw on the walk home from school. 
Spoiled my boys after school with treats. I have a soft spot for those cute little faces.
