This year, I chose the same team leader, Greg Gibson. We're like family now, complete with the love and the bickering. Rounding out his team were the unmistakably brilliant mentors: Matt Mendelsohn, Deanne Fitzmaurice, and Jennifer Domenick, and the supportive and hilarious team members, Ed Atrero, MaFe Fernandez, Caroline Winata, Mark Seymour, and Vinicius Matos.
Our second night at the workshop, we went carnival shooting. Here are just a few of my favorite frames.
I, along with Joanna, was there to document the gathering for the Richardson family. What an honor it was. Feel free to leave any well wishes to the Richardson family below in the comment section.
Thank you Kate for sharing these beautiful pictures. I have known the Richardson family for some time now as one of Carson's nurses at the hospital. He is such a fighter and my prayers are with him and his family in this journey.

(02.17.10 @ 02:39 PM)Thanks Kate and Joanna. It is clear thru you pictures how loved and how much faith was in that room....You did an outstanding job.
(02.16.10 @ 07:22 AM)Anna contacted me last fall, hoping to get onto my crazy calendar for some portraits of her and her boyfriend, but I was unfortunately too booked. I hope I will get the chance to work with her again sometime soon, so I can stop stalking and maybe soak up some her of genius. In the meantime, you can bet your sweet ass that I will be picking up her book, Just Don't Call Me Ma'am, when it comes out this April.
One of our neighborhood besties, Natalie, came over (since her kiddos were at school) and we had a ball! Millie got to have a snowball fight, eat a snowcream cone, and she and I each had the opportunity to make our first snowman together. Yep, you heard right. Her first. My first. If I built one when I was little, I need a picture to prove it because I have no recollection. This was a monumental day in Mefford family history! We dressed the snow(wo)man accordingly in TCU gear and a sparkly scarf, natch. Wouldn't want our snowpeeps to be without bling, right?! Mills adored her new buddy and named her Cutie Pot. Cutie Pot bit the dust last night, but at least we have photographs of her quick life. What a life it was!
OMG, Kate! I love love love the black and white where Millie is catching snowflakes on her tongue. I mean GENIUS! My heart really just jumped when I scrolled down and saw it. What a wonderful set of pictures!
(02.17.10 @ 03:06 PM)These are too cute. I love the snowman. Carson got to see his first snow too: http://carsoncypret.com/snow-day-carsons-first-snow/
