Well, once again I have to pinch myself. I was just in Miami for a small group mentor session and it was an absolute exhausting blast. I decided to do a group session in Miami b/c I had only flown through Miami and have only heard amazing things about the feel, the style, the weather, the water, the hotels, the night life, the audaciousness of it all. And since audacious is something I strive for in my imagery I had, HAD to give it a go. Little did I know i’d be taken care of by Ms. Natalie. To keep a long story short – i met her when I dropped in on one of Kelley Ryden and Tracy Raver’s newborn workshops in Omaha, when she found out I was coming to Miami she swept me up and took care of everything. I love her. She’s a total nut… and had me pinned right away (which means she may or may not have noticed that I can be a bit sporadic/flighty/crazy…but fun..right?!?! 
. So as our blackberry’s allowed for our love relationship to grow we also managed to muster up an amazing few days (IMHO). Thank you, thank you! Also, the group of 5 women that came were so down to earth, laid back and fun. We had a great mix and had a great time. We shot in pretty much EVERY scenario possible – urban, indoor lighting, outdoor lighting, sunset, beach and even a brilliantly beautiful 2 week old baby boy named BEN. I miss it…. and miss all of you ladies! Thank you for allowing me to spend 2 days with you and experience Miami 
AND WHAT WOULD BE A PHOTOGRAPHY TRIP AWAY WITHOUT A LOUBOUTIN SHOT???? Check out this rm – this is the Delano hotel in South Beach. The first shot was taken during the day – the 2nd shot was taken by Tosha around 11 pm @ 5000 ISO. I LOVE MY CANON and I LOVE PHOTOSHOP And if any dude messed with me, obviously these shoes are FIERCE. BOOOOYA…
MIAMI…..TRICK… ;0

August 18, 2010 - 11:21 pm - When I saw that you were in MIA on facebook, I almost commented that you need to stop by the Delano (one of my fave spots on Earth). I see you did just fine on your own without my suggestion. It looks like you had a fab time!
