Well hey everyone! It sure has been a while since I've used this thing, that's for sure. I hope to be more consistent now with blogging, as I have a lot of really exciting things going on around here that I would love to share with you! Most recently, I went to Amsterdam! I'm a member of the very amazing international photographer group called "Documentary Family Photographers" and I joined a group of them in Amsterdam in July for an intensive workshop on pricing. Wow, it sure kicked my butt, but it was so great to be around other amazing photographers and be able to finally meet some of them who I've only "known" online for a while! Also, my best friend was the one leading the workshop, so of course it was really great to spend some quality time with her.

We were only in Amsterdam for 2 nights, so just one full day, but we sure made the most of it. I wanted to share some of the images I took while exploring the streets and canals of Amsterdam. I totally fell in love with this city! It's also a special place to me because my grandmother grew up just outside of Amsterdam, so it was great to experience the culture and the place that she comes from. I am definitely planning on going back for a much longer stay. And maybe next time I'll allow my boys to come with me ;-)
