#19: My Brother Shawn

August 29, 2010

One of my goals(#19) on my 50 in 501 list was to do a photoshoot with my brother (something my mom has been wanting as well). We have such a good time together and I wish that we could spend more time together on a regular basis. So when I was home in July we did a quick shoot one evening and here are some of my favorites.

I like this next one because anyone who knows my brother knows he is a big goofball, so this was him trying really hard to be serious.

I had a great time with Luisa and her family at her maternity session last week. They are all from Argentina and so much fun. I think Luisa looks so beautiful and happy being pregnant and I can’t wait to meet baby Martina soon. Fue muy entretenido la sesion con Luisa y su familia. Son de Argentina y muy divertidos todos. Creo que Luisa se ve muy linda y contenta con el embarazo y estoy ansiosa conocer a la pequena Martina pronto.

Catching Up:50 in 501

August 9, 2010

As some of you may remember, back in November I posted my list of 50 in 501. 50 goals to complete in 501 days. So as a quick break in between photo session posts, I thought I’d do a review here. I’ve been working on getting things accomplished, but haven’t really had the chance to post them all individually. So here’s a round up of some of the goals met.

#5: Find my own apartment

-Back in January I started renting my own mini 35 square meter apartment. It’s got a nice little kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom and its been fun making new apartment purchases(and realizing how quickly they add up) and I spent much of January making new curtains (and they actually came out quite stylishly). It also has an awesome view of the mountains from the roof.

#6: Visit a college friend

I did better than just visit one college friend- I spent 4th of July in Milwaukee with all of my favorite college people. I had such a great time catching up, eating out, visiting all there new apartments in the suburbs, and enjoying custard(can’t go to Wisconsin without it). I even finally made it to the world famous Summerfest after years of living in Milwaukee but never getting to go.

#11 Send out Christmas Carsd

-You can tell I haven’t posted much about this list in a while. I did send out Christmas cards in December. Email me if you want to get on the list for this year;-) Here was this year’s picture, taken by our friend Christian:

#15-Take a salsa class

-For Hugo’s birthday, I gave him salsa classes, which was a great excuse for us to get out, relearn how to salsa and spend some time together. We took classes for 3 months, learned a ton, and remember a very small percentage of it. But it is nice to have more than the same 2 moves to choose from. Now we just need to get out and practice more.

For those in Chile, check out www.latinmambo.cl for classes. Para la gente de Chile, visita a www.latinmambo.cl para clases buenas.

As some of you may have read on my quick peek on the Facebook fan page, Avery was  a star at her photo session. She feel asleep right away and stayed that way for most of the session. Avery’s parents are so smitten with their new addition, it was just a pleasure to watch. Congratulations to the whole family. Enjoy the sneak peek.

Como algunas quizas han leido en nuestra pagina de Facebook, Avery fue una estrella en su sesion. Quedo dormido al tiro y quedo asi por la mayoria de la sesion. Sus papas estan enamorados de ella y fue un placer mirarlos interactuar. Felicitaciones a todo la familia-espero que disfruten esta selecion de su sesion de fotos.
