I Never Said I Was Camera Shy

Last night was the big NWI bloggy dinner with some crazy women. And pretty much all we did the entire time was take photos. Well, more like, pose for photos while Crooked Eyebrow snapped away. I had a great time and although the food looked fabulous, I munched on celery and iced tea. Wish I had more right this very moment actually.

Group shot of everyone...
(l-r) back: Nina, Meghan, Lisa, Jackee, Rhonda, Amy, Beth, Sarah, Arianne, Crooked Eyebrow

front: Sarah, Sheryl & Aisling, Me, Jaymi & Popeye


I love this photo of my Mom & me.






Two of hearts (Beth & Arianne play with my belly.)








Then this morning I had a preggy photo session with Marianne McNamara of Scandica: Fine Art Photography (a prize I won a while back thanks to Katja at Skimbaco!) at the beautiful Northerly Island in Chicago... at sunrise. It was actually such a peaceful drive up there and I took it all in. Such a good feeling to get out of your box (unless you normally are out driving around at 4:30 in the morning) and breathe in life and the amazing surroundings right outside our door. To take my favorite line from Wall-E, I don't want to survive, I want to live. Yes. Me, too.

I know that Crooked Eyebrow will be downloading the hundreds of photos she took last night and I'll be posting my faves throughout the day. And as soon as I have any shots from my gorgeous photography session this morning, I'll get those up, too!
