So, I am excited to share with you that I am actually in Las Vegas! I am at WPPI, which is one of the most awesome conferences/tradeshows in my industry. So…. I am here literally basking in awesome information… and will be back on Friday!
I am especially excited for a couple of things…
1. To room with one of my favorite people ever, Jan Schill. And, I get to see friends from the industry from across the country!
2. To do a fun photoshoot in the dessert with Thirst Relief. An organization that I love. And if you didn’t know… in 2012, we decided that 10% of what you spend here at m.e. photography goes to Thirst Relief. So you are saving lives by providing clean water!
3. Airplanes and Blazers. Can’t wait! My dancing shoes were the first thing in my suitcase.
4. New products and seeing my vendors in person. So fun to meet the people who take care of albums, prints, etc. 
WPPI has an awesome tradeshow.
5. Lots of learning. I am a nerd like that. I LOVE listening to speakers… Can’t wait to learn some new things!
So.. here’s Vegas 2 years ago… Think this was from Casey’s point and shoot. This year I go sans Josh. 
Sorry Josh…
Jan, myself, and Casey…
Be Back Friday…. but keep checking the blog! I have posts scheduled to keep you reading while I am away, and maybe, just maybe, I will post some fun from afar!

Apple Shallot Pork Chops
I have made these a few times. Josh and I think they are pretty good… and Ainsley likes them also. I give it to her minus the almonds (choking hazard)
You need:
1 Apple
2 Shallots
5 Tablespoons of Coconut Oil
Cinnamon and Sea Salt
4 Pork Chops(thick)
1/4 cup white wine
Slivered toasted almonds
Ok, and now for the recipe!
Slice the shallots and apples thinly. Add them to the large skillet, with 4 tablespoons of coconut oil. Saute for 5 minutes or until the apples are tender but still a touch crisp. Remove them from the pan and then add the last tablespoon of coconut oil. Generously sprinkle cinnamon on both sides of the pork chops and lightly sprinkle sea salt if desired. Put pork chops in the pan and sear for 2 minutes each side. Add the wine and bring to a boil to cook off the alcohol. Add the apples and shallots back into the pan, cover and cook on medium hear for another 6-8 minutes (depends on the thickness of your pork chops). Serve with slivered almonds sprinkled on top.
Good stuff and super easy!
This recipe was taken from Everyday Paleo.
Happy Cooking!

So, moving along on our tour… I am going to share my office with you today. Last week, you caught a little glimpse of it, so I might as well share it!
The office is right off of our living room/client meeting space…..Perfect! Love my built in’s.. I think I rearrange them at least once a week. It’s hard to find a balance of making them pretty to look at but also functional….. but not too busy, etc. So, I am never satisfied… and if you stopped by next week… they would probably look different!
Ps…. I had some folks email and ask about my curtain fabric… it is from Crate and Barrel, and I got it about 2 years ago… I do not believe that they carry it anymore.
View from the folding doors…
And from the other side of the room…
So this space over here is where I plan to have a mini newborn studio… Just waiting until my web guy gets my site launched…. It is driving me crazy.
It’s the perfect little space… and there is a great closet holding all of my newborn props… Just on the lookout for a nice chair for nursing mothers and we will be all set!
Some close ups of the built ins… The people who lived in this house before us used this room as their bedroom…
Love my camera collection. My dad just recently sent me some new cameras…. He loves antiques and was out at some antique shops… and sent me 2 awesome care packages of some new cameras!
Thanks for stopping by….

In honor of Valentine’s Day, Ainsley and I decided that we would pull a bunch of pink and purple clothes from her closet and “play” today… and by play, I mean I chased her around with my camera.
So Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you do something to celebrate…or not (for those who just don’t like the holiday)…
