March – A Review in Instagrams

Uncategorized

March 29, 2013

I took an OVERLOAD of instagrams this month. I seriously used the crap out of my phone camera and actually FILLED UP the internal memory! Yesterday I had to delete more pictures so I could take more!! How crazy is that??? I think a lot of that has to do with how awesome March was! I did so much, ate so much, and saw so much this month all I wanted to do was capture it so I would never forget how awesome everything was.

March Highlights:

  • Wppi obviously. I loved my experience and the friends I made there so much! I seriously had the best time. Oh yeah, I learned a lot too;)
  • The beginning of Spring. Okay, it still feels like winter, but it’s technically Spring, and I’m excited about that!
  • Spending so much time with friends, both old and new! I feel so lucky to have made so many new friendships through this business and my March was full of laughter and good times with these amazing people!
  • I got to see my sister twice! My sister is in the Army and though she lives in Maryland now, she might not be living there too much longer so I’m trying to see her as much as I can before she moves because she might move really far away.

What I’m looking forward to in April:

  • Shooting more. I am second shooting twice and I have a few engagements and portrait sessions scheduled too! I’m excited about this because I haven’t been shooting as much lately and I’m ready to get myself in shape for wedding season, which kicks off in May.
  • Finally investing in a bunch of gear! In April I will be adding a new camera body and a new lens to my lineup! I’m really excited about this!!
  • Putting miles on my car. Okay I’m not looking forward to that part…haha. But I am looking forward to all of the fun travels this month…I have a session in DC next week, then I’ll be on the Eastern Shore in a couple weeks, and back to Baltimore by the end of the month:) A lot of driving! Too bad you can’t get free plane tickets from frequent driving miles.

1. The Tabibis let us stay with them at their home in Arlington for the weekend…playing with Rocco was an added perk:)
2. I went out of town to shoot with my friend one weekend and came home to a clean apartment and fresh flowers!
3. I met up with my sister in Georgetown early one Sunday morning to celebrate her birthday over brunch!

1. Doritos mac and cheese! PBR Bar at Planet Hollywood on the Las Vegas Strip! SO GOOD.
2. My WPPI conference pass! I joked that next year I’ll write in that I live in Bad News, VA so it says that on my pass…haha.
3. The view of the strip from our hotel room. We were on the 23rd floor, so our view was pretty awesome!
4. Late nights and early morning classes mean even non coffee drinkers like myself need Starbucks.
5. I saw Jose Villa in person! Richard Photo Lab had an interview with him at their booth at the trade show. It was so cool!
6. Slot machines in the Las Vegas airport. This was before I realized I left my wallet on my plane and panicked and tried to go up an escalator the WRONG WAY. Oops.

1. The iconic Vegas sign!
2. With my friends and Vegas roomies Jen and Ashley at Lazers and Blazers! My first real Vegas club experience. Yes, I went last year. No we never went to the club.
3. Mary Marantz giving her inspiring and emotional talk on Wednesday morning at WPPI. Definitely one of my favorite moments from my experience at WPPI.

1. First day of spring free Rita’s Ice! I had choc brownie, my favorite!
2. Celebrating St Patrick’s Day with Korean food. So good!

1. Our baller rental car for the week while our car was being serviced. Sadly, it goes back today:(
2. I bought a mini iPad even though it lacks the retina screen I really loved…I’m guessing the retina version will come out later this year at which time I’ll either kick myself or drop another 300 on another one…or both.
3. It snowed this weekend! John always lets me off at the door when it’s bad weather out. What a nice guy:)

That’s it for my March round up! I have a really fun giveaway to share with you guys next week, so stay tuned for that!

xoxo
