Today on the way to my photo session on Coronado,
I decided to pull out my new little point-and-shoot camera and
show a bit of a “behind the scenes peek” at what goes into a
Barefoot Memories photo session.

Enjoy!

Laurie Romney opened up her home to me a few weeks ago.
She and her friend, Dana, prepared a fabulous lunch for the three of us.


The last time I saw Laurie, baby Nathan was in her tummy, so it was very nice
to see Nathan out & about!


After lunch, Laurie & Dana showed me all around her home, FULL of Barefoot Memories photos!
It was so amazing to see how she's decorated her home, and I was so honored to have
created the photographs that filled her family's gorgeous home.

I put together a movie from the day.
Enjoy!

Please forgive my awful cinematography!
It's really hard to read my subtitles & hear the sound sometimes. Good thing I'm not a videographer!

The song from that movie is "Sacred" by one of our favorite bands, Caedmon's Call.
GET IT HERE ON iTUNES
It's a "must have" song for any God-loving mom who needs encouragement every now &then.
My favorite line is:
"I'll get to the laundry. I don't know when. I'm saying a prayer tonight, 'cause tomorrow it starts again."

Here's a picture from a hallway that didn't make the movie:

Laurie got those frames at a clearance sale. They were sold as "pre fab" art peices with
artistic pictures already included, but Laurie ripped those out and put in her own 11x14 prints.

If you're coming to the workshop in May with me, MeRa & Brian, you'll get to meet these
awesome moms yourself! Laurie is attending the workshop, and Dana is our SUPER Hostess!

Thanks you, Laurie & Dana, for such a great day!
Laurie: Look in the mail soon for my "Thank you!"

Last month I joined the morning crew of Fox6 San Diego
for a TV segment talking about how to take better pictures
and what to do with them once you've got them.

I got my DVD copy yesterday, so if you missed it, you can see it now!

My friend, Dane, and my new pal Ron of Cinematic Studios did a GREAT "Photo Minute" while we were all in New York together.

It's so well put together. The editing, the effects, the sound -- good job guys!!

Funny "behind the scenes story": This movie was done while Dane & Ron were waiting for me to find them in New York about a block away from my hotel. I was walking up & down the street right across them them, searching in vain for those dudes. They got so tired of idle waiting that they decided to use those big huge empty Post Office steps to film a quick photo minute. If you look at the shots looking over Dane's shoulder from behind, you can see people walking on the sidewalk across the street. That's where I was walking up & down & up & down the street looking for the guys. I'm such a dork sometimes! But I'm glad they got the time to make this, because it sure turned out cool!!!

(I found them eventually, and we had an AMAZING breakfast -- thank again Dane!!)



Dane's movie reminded me of the movie I did last year for Christmas...

I've been getting a lot of emails from folks saying they're excited to see what I'll do for my annual Christmas movie this year -- no pressure! :)

For a little pre-holiday spirit, here's a blast from Christmas past.

Enjoy!

Back in March, I got to give a wonderful gift to a local military family. Through Homefront San Diego and the Roger Hedgecock show, we arranged to get a session done for the Perry family so they could have great pictures taken of their new daughter! She just came home from China, and dad has yet to meet her. He’s on deployment and won’t be home for a few more months (making this a 9+ month deployment).

On April 12th, we all went up to the KOGO studios for the Roger Hedgecock show and had a segment with Jimmy Valentine, who was filling in for Roger that day. Leda got to see her pictures for the first time, and she got a fabulous 10×20 Fine Art Canvas for her home. It was so fun to be in the studio, and everyone even had their own chair & microphone! My kids thought they were pretty hot stuff, even though they didn’t get to talk on-air.

Word on the street is that Leda has set up a laser-trip-wire security system around her new canvas to keep it safe while she decides on the perfect location in the house!

I put together a video from the show…
Enjoy!
