Photoshoot today! and a few other rambles...

I have a 6 month old shoot today. This little guy is adorable, so stay tuned for sneak peek pics of him to come after our shoot today. Last night I attended a C.L.A.S.S. at the home of Nick Corona Photography. C.L.A.S.S. is a series of classes sponsored by Collages.net and Nick and Liz are "in charge" of organizing these classes and putting them together. Last night was the first of many to come. Basically we discusses what it is we want to work on, what we want to learn. I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am that I went. I debated for a long time, because I had a night off of work , I wanted to be home, eat with my family,,,etc.... however, i am addicted to working..so I went. Nick and Liz are awesome people.They want us to learn the "right" way, right away. They are open to sharing all kinds of fantastic insider secrets about how their business is ran. Wow, what a wealth of knowledge they have to offer too! I am so excited to be a part of this new C.L.A.S.S.  they are offering. So stick around, things will be changing real quick!

Noelani's Halau O Hula Mo'olelo

Amongst my many activities, one of my main interests is hula dancing. So much so, that a few years ago, I noticed there wasn't much being offered in the Inland Empire, so I opened my own halau(hula school)www.hulatraditions.com. I've been dancing since the age of five under the instruction of my grandmother, Noelani. Anyways, in a few weeks, my halau will be dancing at the Inland Empire's first Ho'olaulei'a in Beaumont. I have to provide a photo of myself and a short bio. It's pretty hard to get pics of myself since Im always the one taking them, but I set the camera up today since I had gotten ready for a show anyways, and showed my almost 12 year old what to push, he did and voila..not too shabby. With a quick crop, so you couldn't see my neighbors orange tree in the backyard, I now can provide them a current photo!Maybe I have a future photographer on my hands too!
