Peter turns 2!

Well Sunday didn't turn out to be the nicest day outside but I was still able to spend some time with my nephew Peter and have some fun with bubbles and kites! We went over to Peck Farm to play in the fields.

Aaron got this shot which I really loved!

I Want to Walk the Talk's Zumba Class

We want to keep showing everyone how much there is to do when you sign up to be an "I Want to Walk the Talk" member. Last week I peeked in on the zumba class and I found myself bopping around the room wishing I could move like that right now! :) It was a high energy and fun class. Just one of many offered. This week is the Wii tournament and there is still time to sign up! What are you waiting for!

Ethan

Last week I got a call from a couple I worked with in 2006, letting me know they had their first child and wanted some photos of him. I was so excited! I love it when I get to hear back from people and see how they have grown together. They were just as fun as I remember them and their little Ethan was a total ham for the camera :)

Impact Tip - Need inspiration to plan your green wedding?

I Want to Walk the Talk's Cooking Class

Last week Aaron got to shoot I Want to Walk The Talk's Cooking class aptly named; I Want to Stir Things Up, and I am jealous! The food looks great and we hope even more people show up next time to take advantage of this great program! Go to their website for more info and sign up now! http://www.walkthetalkchicago.org/

Be sure to check out the next event too, a Wii tournament with open bar at the Palmer House! Sounds like a fun night to show your skills, have a little party, and meet some great people.

Margaret and Brian, a really great couple that I am excited to work with, were also there working on their cooking skills. I think this is such a great way to spend time with someone you love!

Impact Tip - I'm on Protovert!

My hope was to share some fun photos of my volunteer day on Sunday but as anyone who was in Chicago knows, it was snowing that day! April is for showers, not snow! So I am bummed that I wasn't able to go.

But I have another fun thing to share with you. I was recently interviewed by Protovert.com which is the premier wedding website for planning a green wedding. They have great ideas and stylish ways to make your wedding speak for your commitment to the environment and community without sacrificing style. I am honored to help other brides know what questions to ask their photographer that will further their green wedding plans.

Check it out! Some of you may recognize this picture from my bio although in my bio its not just my face! Sorry for the creepy stare! :)
