Chicago...

Well it was a short and crazy trip in the middle of what quickly has become my busiest month all year. I am a member of an on-line community of photographers. We get together for meetings, seminars, workshops and conventions. It is a wonderful way to meet others, share ideas and learn learn learn.

So we headed to Chicago, but this time not as students. When I say we I mean Andy and I. I volunteered us to be models for all the other photographers that were there. We dressed up in our wedding clothes. The ones we wore 5 years ago - amazingly we still fit, and did what they told us. It was a great learning experience being on the other side of the camera and we got to get some great images. Notice the shoes. I had to buy something cool to go with my dress since my others were so darn dated.

One highlight was having Melissa and Rene Tirado do a little mini shoot with us. These two were wonderful. They are a husband and wife team that work seemlessly together. They are so in love and so darn cute. They were responsible for much of the workshop planning and they did a great job with it. Check them out and some more images on their blog at Tirado Photography.
