As I wrote about before, I got the very cool chance to hang out with Samsung to try out and promote their great new camera, the SH 100. This is a pocket camera, but WOW! After spending a few hours with it in downtown Chicago, I was VERY impressed. The camera is easy to use…
This past weekend at Gleek Retreat I spoke about enhancing your blog posts with photos without sending your readers running for cover. You know what I mean… you visit a website and you wait, and wait, and wait for the page to load before finally giving up and moving on to the next one in…
On Tuesday, I will be hanging out with Samsung who is in the mist of a cross country tour to promote their new SH100 Digital Camera. I received the camera a couple of weeks ago to familiarize my self with it for the shoot. This is a great little camera!! We will be wandering the…
I forgot to link to photos in my other CES posts. I took a lot. I have a problem. I take a lot of photos. There is no such thing as too many good ones. Admitting is the first step, right? So, here are all of the photos of gadgets, cameras, cars, people, booths, and…
This guest post was contributed by ‘You Are Art’ (Image from http://www.flickr.com/photos/robbrown/95984916/sizes/m/in/photostream/) For most amateur photographers, taking pictures at night-time is a one way ticket to red eyes and obscured backgrounds. You don’t want a bunch of messy pictures in your photo album: not only is it ugly, but it is the number one way…

Two weekends ago I had the pleasure of speaking at the first ever Gleek Retreat. It was a lovely, small, intimate “conference” set in beautiful West Olive, MI. Unfortunately I missed the second day, but what I did experience on day 1 was awesome! There were around 30 people in attendance including I think 3…
A couple of weeks ago I hung out in downtown Chicago with a bunch of awesome mommy bloggers, the Mominatrix, and Kenmore. I had no idea the the Kenmore Live Studio even existed, but I am so glad that I know now! We had good food, good drinks, and a lot of fun. We had…

So bring your cameras, make sure that your memory cards are blanked and take pictures all night!

I LOVED Galena. I’ve been in IL for 36 years today and I had never been to Galena. I had barely even heard of it! But is definitely one of those hidden treasures of Illinois and I LOVED it. It is a really, really, really beautiful place. So beautiful in fact that I took almost 500 pictures! Over 450…
It’s been about a week since I got back from San Jose. Since that time I have been thinking a LOT about how to put my experience into words. But it ain’t easy! As you will see, I started writing most of this post while I was on the plane on the way back. I…
Yes, this post is a bit late, but I have been on a whirlwind and I am catching up! On Friday, March 19 I had the pleasure of spending the day at the Dyson Headquarters in downtown Chicago. It was awesome! We started the day with a quick tour of the Dyson office. I would…
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Eye-Fi. All opinions are 100% mine. Yes, this is a sponsored post, but I actually do own an Eye-Fi, so when this opp popped up I jumped at the chance to write about it. Actually, I wrote a post about my Eye-fi a few…
On November 15, I attended an HP VIP Blogger Cinema Demo for the HP Photosmart Premium Touchsmart Web Printer. Thanks to my baby girl and first born Alexis who pulled my name out of the box, I won one! I have been using this printer for a little over a month and I must say…
And I am one of them. Woot! (Even though I never went back and fixed the spacing between my photos!) Tee hee. In my Creative Memories Storybook Creator Software post, I created 3 layouts. Well one of them won! I won the “Keep it Simple” part of the contest for my Nature of Asheville, NC…
Yes, I am over a week late on this so I am catching up. One of my favorite parts of the conference was the photo walk with Mishelle (aka @secreatagentmama). We wandered around downtown Asheville where there was a ton of activity, drummers, guitar playing, singing, protests… all kinds of interesting things going on to take…
I went, I saw, I brought it! I’ve been back well over a week now and I think I can finally do a post of some sort. I do not have many words. I thought Kelby did a FABALOUS job of pulling it all together. Astacia was awesome as her right-hand woman and a ton…
All of the ladies (and gents) that attended the Type-A Mom Conference last week in Asheville, NC got a free copy of the Creative Memories Storybook Creator software. So far it is awesome. I need to put it through the ringer though, but I have no doubt that it will hold up. I just need…

As I have mentioned before I am a photographer. I very often do event photography in which I snap a photo and print it immediately to be given to guests at the function. I love my job, and I love being able to deliver a product in a flash to the guests. My main drawback…
If you are looking for it, Camcor.com has the kit in stock! They did not yet have the body only, but that’s ok. I wanted the newer 18-55mm lens anyway since it has IS. They had awesome customer service and did not try to bait and switch me at all!! According to UPS I will…
