Workshop Day 1

It's hard to put into words what an amazing experience it was to be here today. First of all, we are in Ireland which is so incredibly beautiful! Second, everyone who is here is just so nice and fun to spend time with.

This morning Melissa shared all of her photographic tips and techniques and then we went out to practice. Brett and Arden were our engaged couple for the day. They are both incredible photographers but they also do a really fabulous job on the other side of the camera.

First we took some pictures just around the house where we are staying.

Then we hopped on our little cool bus and drove to a ruin nearby. You have to go to Melissa's blog to see a really funny picture of me shooting around the ruins.

And lastly we drove down to the beach for my favorite shot of the day.

Aaahh, what a wonderful day!

*I'm having a really hard time posting from a mac so things are a little out of place, but I wanted to share some of my favorite images anyways.

Irish Rainbow

So Melissa went to sleep and graciously let me use her computer so I could add some photos for you all to see.


Here's my new friend who owns the sheep next to us:

Here's proof that I'm in Ireland - thanks to Amelia for taking this shot.

Hey Guys!

So I made it to Ireland today. It is sooo beautiful here but not at all like what I expected to be like.


Today we went for a little walk and I saw my first Irish Rainbow! No pot of gold though. Still working on that.


The cutest Irish man who owns the sheep next to us came and talked to me. I only smiled and nodded my head as I have no idea what he was saying to me. EnglishIrish is really hard to understand! I've been wondering if someone is going to say "Top of the morning to you". I think I'm going to go for a walk in the morning just to see what happens. I'll keep you posted.


Unfortunately I don't have my computer, so no pictures until I get back. If you would like to see a picture of the amazing rainbow today, go to Melissa's blog: www.melissajill.net

First things first... bigger pictures!
I've spend the last 2 hours trying to figure out how to do this and I have to say I'm very proud of myself! (And so tired - it's 2 am). This whole Html coding stuff is not easy! I still don't understand it but I got it to do what I wanted. But I have to say it was a tough battle. Final score: Html 9 x Cristi 10. And this was only the first match. I'm actually excited for my next little Html project - a navigation bar. I really have no idea how I'm going to do it, so stay tuned...

Help!

Hey guys, I need your help!

Shanel, Brian and Bryson

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of photographing a beautiful family. They definitely take the prize for the most well dressed family ever.
Bryson just turned one:

I loved the time I spent with you guys and can't wait to get together again. I hope you love your photos!

Albums

The mailman and I are best friends this week. All the bills came last week and only fun stuff this week.

I received Heidi's albums today and they turned sooo good! She already picked them up but I took some pictures to show you:

I know some of you are thinking about ordering your albums and I just wanted to let you know that I'll be out of town from 08/16 - 08/24. If you are in a hurry, please get your orders in this week. Thanks!!
