| Party of 2...!I drove down to Orange Country yesterday for a day of motivation, inspiration and innovation! I spent the entire day with Becker - who willingly divulged the secrets to his wonderful success. It's always so humbling and inspiring to look at the business of photography through someone else's eyes.
I'm so grateful for the openness and genuine kindess that is so prevalent in the wedding photography industry. It's such an amazing vehicle that we can all use to make each other better. Lisa (a photographer from San Diego) and I had the best time and I know we both left with our heads completely bulging with ideas! I couldn't wait to get home and make a list of all the things I needed to do!
I'm always trying to broaden my horizons, improve my business and challenge my photographic eye. I don't think I'll EVER be satisfied with where I am - and I guess that's a good thing. :)
Here is a shot of the Becker himself...and then a shot of darling Lisa.

| Laughter...I am so excited that my new blog is close to being done! The other day I had so much fun shooting some blog headshots with my good friends and fellow photographers - Michael and Anna Costa. It is always a completely humbling experience to be on the other side of lens. They were asking me to do certain things, and I know I've asked my clients to do the same things - and I looked at them like they asked me to jump in front of train. It's was so funny! I think these shots capture my spirit and personality just perfectly.
  Later that night we ventured out to Velvet Jones - which may sound like a swave night club, but it's really just your "run of the mill" college bar where one of our favorite bands of all time was playing. They are called Prom Band - they sport classic 80's garb, while we dance and scream and sing like it was our senior year in high school. They play all the songs that you really never want to admit that you like - but you also can't help but smile and dance when you hear them! Here is a shot of Gary displaying his ever so popular - shirt over the head move... WOW. Thanks Michael and Anna for this classic photo! And I don't know why I'm wearing a scarf on my head like that.

| It's amazing the things you find...I am starting to get all of my new photos ready for my new website and it's so fun going through all the weddings from the past year. This is a wedding I shot with Amy Nave and I originally went back to look through the wedding because I LOVED this girls dress. And I wanted to see it again - oh, the dress!!! It's so darn important. There are so many styles and googles of different designers! It's so fun, yet so overwhelming. Stay tuned as I search for the perfect dress... :)
But I came across these photos and I just loved them!!!!! So enjoy!

| IT'S A NEW YEAR!!!!I am so excited for all of the developments that are in store for Mary Jane Photography, Inc! My new blog is almost ready and my new website is in the works as well! The guys over at Reddoor Creative are the absolute best and they are re-creating my business brand as we speak! The site is really looking so amazing! They do incredible work and I couldn't have asked for more from them.
I can't wait to get back into blogging in a whole new way - and I know you've heard it all before, but I am going to be dedicating much more time to my NEW blog! It's going to be SOOOOO fun!!!!!! There is so much to share this year - I have some fabulous weddings lined up, I'm training for a triathalon and am planning my own wedding! I hope you come with me on this ride of a lifetime!
I'm sure there will be some bumps in the road (as well as a sore butt at times from that tiny little bike seat...) ...and I'm just sure there will be a slew of insignificant victories and monumnetal triumphs! That what life is all about and I ready to jump in!
Check out my new logo - I love it! It's so ME!
