Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope any of you who traveled this Thanksgiving got there safely!

For me, this year has been really wonderful. I have Gia and Mr. Pilate at home and I am working for myself, which is super rewarding. (As well as quite challenging.)

Also, my family has been really supportive during this transition.

Plus we've made some new friends who have been really supportive as well. *cough* Brenda - Swann Soirees *cough* :)

I have had a great year and am looking forward to an awesome 2010. So I would like to take a moment to thank all my friends, family, and clients for their love, help, and support.

Enough mushy stuff. (and thank you, I mean it!) On with the pictures! We went to the aquarium recently, and I brought along an older camera with a 50mm strapped on it. (The poor rebel, she gets dragged out whenever I don't want to risk any of my nice gear!) I had fun sneak shooting Gia, and she got grumpy because she hates having her picture taken!

Enjoy! And best wishes to you all!






A Cuttlefish! Gia thinks they're cute, I think they look a little sad. (Don't they have sad eyes!?!?)


And lastly one of Gia with the yellow fish! (Red fish, Blue fish, could not be present. :P)

Giggle & Mingle Toy Drive

Recently we went to the Giggle & Mingle - Toys for Tots Drive and it was a blast! Gia and I got to hang out with some old friends and meet new ones as well. Even my brother came, so I had a blast hanging out with him as well as taking some pictures of the event.

Hosted by: The lovely Brenda Swann of Swann Soirees
DJ'ed by: The rockin' Bill Calhoun of Bill Calhoun Mobile Music
Attended by: Everyone! Seriously, I wish I could remember everyone I met, but there were so many! Hopefully I will be seeing you all again real soon!

Thank you to everyone who donated their time, services, and toys! I'm sure there are a bunch of kids who are going to really appreciate your generosity!

DJ Bill mugging the ultimate "dear in the headlights" look!


And of course, the guys from Starcross'd Creative were there. A great group of guys for sure.


Special thanks to the Marines (who normally deserve our thanks!) but who tonight, collected toys and were great sports and tons of fun!
