minnesota was great. people were great. weather was great. sessions were great. it was a shock to come home, to the LAX airport, and not have people bending over backwards to be nice to you. i got very used to that in good ol’ minnetucky. also, the second i got onto the freeway i had a shiny black suv cut around me and cut me off. i thought, “ahhhh home sweet friggin home.”
family met me at my favorite place for dinner. everyone very excited to see me, yelling MOOOM! and running into my arms. except drew, who acted all cool and funny and walked past me saying, “oh who are you again?” and then i tackled him onto the pavement and licked him on the cheek. THATS WHO I AM BUDDY. and dont you forget it!
but back to minnetucky. so lovely. cathy gave me lots of love and yummy food and laughter. dan showed me his stomach and asked me to marry him. cole obsessed on star wars and made me laugh. aidan always calls me donna, and so i started smacking her on the top of her head to train her to say tara. and chippy. ohhhhhhh sweet chippy…….she followed me around and i love her and i will never love another dog.
i may have to fight cathy and her real owners though. i guess.
another highlight of the trip was getting to see margie pargie puddin’ pie.
always a treat to lay in the marshmellow bed with you baby. and talk about good and funny and raunchy stuff.
my clients were also awesome, but i cant share those pictures yet. :)
thank you clients! for allowing me to come out and meet you and photograph you and have an all together great weekend.
now, i have about seventeen thousand photos to go through and proof. ill be underground for awhile, with my miners cap. wish me luck.
Sounds like a fun trip. I love the picture of Chip! I can’t wait to see some of the pictures from your sessions. Good luck with all that proofing!
you’ve got to love LAX for that reason. every time, i say that this is the LAST time i will fly in/out of it, and i get pulled in again. dagnabbit!
Yah, even just through words & pictures Chip melted my heart too. Her blog entries are so… insightful especially when reading them, it’s Catherine Oxenburg’s voice I hear in my head.
I thought about you so many times throughout the weekend as I live in Central Minnesota and know we had beautiful weather all weekend. I can’t wait to see the photos…maybe I will know some of the lucky folks who got to meet you! Glad you experienced MINNESOTA NICE!!!

holy cow – you even take fantastically beautiful pictures of dogs! and that is the best picture of a dog I have ever seen – so soft (and sharp) and cuddly…
Glad you had a great time and good luck with the proofing, etc. :)
You licked your son’s face when he pretended not to know you. You are the kind of mom I aspire to be like. :)
loved reading this. had to chuckle over the miner’s hat part. ;)
We had a great time! Thanks for coming here – you’re the best! We’re so glad we did it. And for my hubby to even say it was a good shoot, well, let’s just say that has never happened before! ;-)
Take your time…we’re in no rush. OK, I’m dying to see them, but I can control myself…. ahahaha!

It was great to meet you and have you take our pictures here in Minnetucky. I hope that you also enjoyed your visits. Sorry again about George but that must of been her day to be a bit unruly. Can’t wait to see the pictures. THANKS AGAIN>

i had to control my bladder as I laughed out loud when you said “friggin”. cracks me up that word
so i am super happy that you had a fantastic time in minnetucky, however i am disappointed that you say you will never love another dog. um….cosmo. you love cosmo! :) love that you licked drew. too funny. only, if i did that my kids would be licking me. no thanks.
um…yeah, tatum, you love her don’t you? oh yeah she’s not a dog :)
so glad you had a great time and that you’re back safe and sound. excited to see all of the pics from your last two trips.
Can’t wait to see the pics, good luck in hiding :-) love the pic of the doggie what a total cutie pie!!!!
I love a fellow Mom who licks her kids.
Great pix!
ahh she is gorgeous, I would be in love too! So sweet!
love that shot of you at your desk
LOL duh – thought i was still on cathy’s blog ha ha ha – see you tomorrow :)
what kind of dog is Chip?! she’s GORGEOUS!!!!! I’m looking into getting a dog when I move out in the next few years, and I think she’s perfect!
