San Miguel de Allende

For Valentine's Day weekend, I got to take a mini-vacation down to beautiful San Miguel, Mexico. My mom has been going there for years with her girlfriends and has always raved about how wonderful it is! So, of course when my sister and her husband needed a babysitter for the kiddos while they attended some wedding festivities, I jumped in and volunteered! I had so much fun taking pictures of the beautiful town and getting to spend some quality time with my sweet niece and nephew :)

Out of the Office

After a fun and busy Christmas season, I am in Cabo for a little vacation. I am savoring all of the beautiful surroundings, wonderful weather, and some precious time with family. I know it will be hard to come back to Texas after a week of all this :) Hope everyone has a Happy New Year...See you in 2009!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I spent it with a bunch of my brothers, sisters, nieces/nephews, cousins, etc. There are a lot of us and not all of us were even able to make it this year. I am so THANKFUL for my wonderful family!

Learnfest

I had the amazing opportunity of attending the Learnfest workshop on beautiful Bald Head Island, NC. Alongside 60 of my new friends, I spent 3 days learning from some of the best photographers around! I am inspired by all the things I learned and I am looking forward to all the exciting changes for Claire Smith Photography, allowing me to provide the best products, and experience to all my wonderful clients!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the weekend :)
