Anyway, our
photography business is really taking off! We had an engagement shoot with another great couple and their pictures turned out fantastic! We shot first at the St. Regis and moved onto a private beach in Laguna. We also met with a couple this week and booked a wedding in August too! Joe and I purchased a new computer (a DELL, that is supposed to blow the Mac away) as well as a Photoshop/Lightroom program that is used by all professional photographers. So far it is pretty difficult to use, but we have been taking some classes online to learn the program. We have also purchased our website and are in the works getting it all set up, I will let you all know when it is finished! We have also decided to purchase ANOTHER camera so I can take pictures also...and not just "hold stuff" as Joe puts it :)Here are some pics of the couple (unedited of course :))
Laguna Beach
The St. Regis, outside the wine cellar
California beaches are so beautiful!As for other things, I was recently home to visit the family and had a wonderful time! My sister and her family had flown in from Italy to attend a wedding, and I was able to make a quick trip out to see them before they ventured out of Ohio! They are quite the traveling bunch! I was able to stay with Matt and the family and spend some extra quality time with little Kaitlyn (who is now talking up a storm! (She is now our little parrot!) So my weekend went a little something like this...
On Thursday I attended the Toledo Chamber's Clambake with mom and dad at the Toledo Zoo, around 650 people were in attendance! It was so nice to spend some quality time with mom and dad...and also eat lots of LOBSTER! YUMMM!
On Saturday we had a birthday party for all 4 children with the Gurtzweiler side of the family. We sang happy birthday in English and Italian this year...well the boys sang it and we just listened! They all took turns opening their presents...it was a great day! Saturday night Britt and I were able to spend some sister time together at the good ol' All Saints Festival! It really was nice to spend some time with friends we haven't seen in years!
Sunday we had a family reunion with the Schimmel side of the family! We don't get to see much of them anymore, so it was extra special to come home this time. My mouth is still watering from cousin Denny's chicken!
By Monday morning I was on a plane headed back to Cali...it was really hard to come home this time, but so happy to come home to Joey and my doodles!
Forgot to mention...I started to nanny for a friend a couple weeks ago too (just 2 days a week) They are the 2 most adorable babies, SERIOUSLY! Jude is 4 mos and Ella is 6 mos....you can say I have my hands full, but I guess I have some experience in my background to make it easier huh?!
Well, I will stop the madness before you all fall asleep...until next time!! :) XOXOXOXO

Great pics!
And I hate to say it, but...
Dell = worst computer I've every owned. Hands down.
Mac = BEST computer I've ever owned. (okay, we don't actually own it, but it's Ry's for school, so it's always in our possession!)
And there are a few others that fall in the middle...

What type of camera are you guys using?
I know, we really thought long and hard about the Mac or Dell, but Dell has this new Studio XPS and it's all supposed to be even better than the MAC, so we thought we would try it. (especially now that we are buying another camera!)
We are using a Nikkon D90 now and we are going to order the Nikkon D300S when it comes out. (therefore, we decided to to spend more on another camera and less on the computer anyway, but not much less)
I'm crossing my fingers that it works out good!!
