Berries on the Rocks 
Valentine’s refreshments
Being huddled up inside, under a warm blanket, drinking hot chocolate all day becomes boring after a while, and unfortunately hibernating doesn’t work for me like it does for brown bears – I don’t lose weight, I gain it.

A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to participate in a presentation that promoted the Godox Flash system.
The presenter, Sherry Hagerman is the owner of Allusion Photography from Oakbrook, IL, one of the top wedding photography companies in the United States. She first explained and demonstrated the flash system and then walked us through the process of setting up the speed lights and how to set our cameras.
Another Fashion Photo shoot experience
Inspired by the Dolce & Gabanna (D&G) annual Fashion Show in Como, Italy, my local photo meet up group hosted its very own masquerade fashion show at the Mayslake Peabody Estate.
We spend an afternoon at the estate photographing models in extravagant costumes designed and created by two of the members.

Women Warriors Photo Shoot – A mother-daughter experience
I recently joined a very active local photo group meetup. Anyone interested in photography can join the group and enjoy the many opportunities to improve their skills and share the pictures in a fun group environment. The events are a mixture of hands-on photo shootings in the area and class room instructions.
For my first outing I asked my daughter to be my model. I was thrilled when she agreed to join me and stand model as a warrior.
She dressed up, got her hair done and put make up on to model for the first time. Thanks to the awesome make up and hair artist Katie Long-Piper! Then, I got my camera ready and together we had a blast at Dellwood Park!
