A little Changeling
Feb 25, 2009
I had kind of a bad (challenging) day and my sweet husband tried to make it better. He surprised me by ordering from my favorite Thai restaurant. I was so excited! I like the food but I like my husband being cute and romantic even more. We put Kai down early, after a NO nap day, and the food arrived. We piled our bowls full and just as we went to sit down, my bowl slipped out of my hands and shattered to the floor. It was a sad and spicy site. My Pad See-U (I can't spell the names correctly) was ALL over the floor :( Bummer! And I was determined to eat it anyways-until I found a chard of ceremics in it. That was the end of that.So in my grumpy state I decided to go retreat to our room and trying to recuperate. So I watched a movie, Changeling and was blown away. Midway through Kai woke up to his teething pain and I rushed in there to get my hands on my son. That movie was very disturbing. I am still considering sleeping on Kai's floor tonight. That movie really got to me and I can't believe that it is a true story. It was excellent but disturbing.
So just as a question. Do you ladies ever feel disrespected for being a woman, or "just" a stay at home Mom (my blood boils on that one) or do people think you are incapable of thought? I have had a few challenging days in this department and after watching this movie, I want to brainstorm for some healthy ways to make a change. Classy ways you have handled moments that made you want to scream or cry.
On an unrelated topic, I downloadeed the new Safari 4 and so far I am impressed. I think the new features will help to be faster and more productive. I like the top 10 feature, I suspect I will use that a lot :)

It is midnight and I am to excited to sleep. I am tucked in at the MGM Grand in Vegas and I can't stop smiling. I had a gr*8 first day and I got to meet some cool people. I just feel so fortunate to be here and I am looking forward to the week ahead, but there are 2 boys back in LA that still have my heart.Absence really does make the heart grow fonder. :)

Baby Charlotte is now Lady Charlotte

A year's gone by,
How time has flown,
We can't believe
How Charlotte's grown
She's such a joy
And so much fun,
Oh my! Sweet Charlotte
Turned One!

Yesterday's session was FUN! I did work myself into a sweet chasing Charlotte around and trying to cover all the technical stuff. Her cuteness was distracting, but it was SO FUN! Charlotte was in a great mood and ready to explore and it is always a treat to see her parents and catch up. We all met a year ago when Charlotte was tiny and sat still :) and their family have definitely grown to be friends. They are a reminder to me of what a blessing it is to have my own business and be a photographer.
They are the type of clients that photographer's dream about. They are up for anything and Charlotte's Mom (Yvette) picks out the cutest clothes ever. If I ever have a little baby girl, I know who I am calling for hand me downs.
We went to the Lucky Strike Bowling Lanes. Yes, not the typical place for a 1 year old's pictures, SO FUN! Charlotte explored every inch of that place, even the top of the tables and the top pool table :)
Here is a picture of her from before she was mobile. :) It was one of my favorite kids images of 2008. I mean, look at her in that hat. TOO CUTE!
And here she is Now!
And the message around the collar of her t-shirt says, "Only Mommy can judge me" How fun is that? I love it, I want one in my size :)
And these are just a few of my early favorites, there are still a bunch more with other cute outfits. I might have to make this a 2 part post. That is how cute she was :) Kids are the BEST!

Rain, Rain Go Away

Coughing, every breath leads to more coughing, nose in need of tissues, ears popping, not sleeping well. Ba Hum Bugsssss We all get sick and right now it is my turn. So I am trying to get some rest and kick this thing, because I tried to ignore it and see if it would pass. That didn't work out so good :(
But I still have a TON of aawesome blessings in my life to be gr8phul for. I will just count them one cough at a time. :)
About Me, Kat
I have always been drawn to the camera. Photography is such an interesting blend of technical know how and capturing heart felt emotion.
The challenge is to flawlessly do both, in a split second before the moment passes.
Everyday and every moment is an opportunity to learn to live and shoot better.
