THE divorce party of the YEAR!

Holy crap! Barbie is hosting a huge divorce party and I am the guest of honor! YEOW! She has invited over 300 people and I have over 100 people. There are 5 DJ's, security, guest list, and people directing traffic. The party has been featured on Power 105.7 by Tim & Jeff in the morning. I'm just shocked at how many people are attending. The guest list is HUGE!! I am way too excited! This is the party to make a clean break of the past and make a new beginning. This is what I need to signify the change in my life. So many people are supportive of this. I have an orange wedding cake with words of inspiration, I dyed my wedding dress orange, and I will be belly dancing at the party! YAY!

Congrats Megan & Chris!

I had the most joyous time photographing Megan & Chris' wedding. They had a very intimate wedding at Magnolia Gardens on mother's day. It was such a romantic ceremony. They are such a beautiful couple and I had a wonderful time photographing their day!

My little girl & her makeup

My little girl Amelia has her own make up case. She watches me do makeup and thinks it's really neat. She decided to put on her blue makeup while I did makeup for a client of mine. Here are the results!! Too funny!

Photographic Society of NWA

I taught a fine art nude session at the PSNWA symposium in Eureka Springs on Sunday. I taught the students posing, do's & don'ts of nudity, how to treat the model, and general knowledge. I really enjoyed teaching the workshop. At the end of the workshop everyone got to shoot some pictures. I grabbed a shot of all the photographers photographing the model.

I love flowers!!!

I got flowers again! Dang......a girl can sure get used to this!!! They smell so pretty, too!

Belly Dance in Siloam Springs

May 12, 2006........we traveled to Siloam Springs to perform at the hospital's employee luau. They really enjoyed our performance. It was a lot of fun! Afterwards we ate at the best burger place ever - Barnett's!

Springfest!

Springfest was today. It was cold & rainy. My bell bottom pants were soaked which made it harder to perform. Since I was wet I went ahead & did my sword balancing tricks on the ground. It was a lot of fun. As soon as I get some action photos I will post them! I love hot pink & all the junk in my hair!

Flowers

......receiving flowers just because - is so sweet & nice! A friend of mine sent me flowers to brighten my day!! I cannot remember the last time I got flowers. So sweet!!

Belly Dance Class

Give Belly Dance a try! Free class on May 7th at 4pm!

Las Vegas!

I recently went to Vegas to the WPPI tradeshow & convention. Here are some photos of me playing dress up & having a good time! I also took some photos while I was there ;-)

Soccer!

My brother went out on Sunday to photograph the soccer game and asked me to tag along. I have never photographed any type of sport but shooting the soccer game was a lot of fun! I can't wait to go again on Sunday!

Pepsi Promo

I get to do all kinds of fun promotional events. This past Saturday I did one for Pepsi. It was a blast!! Last week I did a Jose Cuervo tequila promotion -- but no pics from that.

Mardi Gras Parade!

Here is my brother Victor - the roman guard, Irene in black & gold costume, me in hot pink!, and Jing Ying in the Egyptian costume! There is a picture of Don (King Tut) & I - I think he enjoyed dressing up. And a picture of the whole group of us on our float!

We had such a good time. We didn't have enough beads or candy! We ran out of things to throw so quickly!
