Busybee Magazine

The Busybee magazine is one of the best resources for families with kids! The latest issue features a couple articles about eating locally grown food & guess what... Baron Farms made the list:)

The Smith family really enjoys Baron Farms eggs so we decided to do a photo shoot on the farm to go with the article that Lorrie Smith wrote for Busybee. Lorrie & Stefan have two super cute kiddos who had a blast playing with the chickens & the pictures turned out great!

Busybee also contains tons of information about summer camps, local events for kids & lots more. If you're looking for something to do in Yakima, make sure to pick up an issue so you can keep informed about whats going on.

My Garden

Cameron and I enjoyed our first fresh strawberry out of my garden tonight. The warm weather has caused my garden to thrive this week. I absolutely love having my own little dirt square to plant want every I want every year:) This year I planted green onions, swiss chard, butter crunch lettuce, carrots, cilantro, lavender, mint, rosemary, STRAWBERRIES, basal, chives and purple potatoes:) Most of these things do well in the cooler weather, so that's why a lot of them are ready so early. The basal is struggling though, I might have to re-plant it.

New Business Card

I created a new business card and I'm really excited about them.

Professional Photographers of America (PPA)

I went to a to the PPA tour conference in Seattle on Monday night and I absolutely loved it. I heard so many great ideas and felt really inspired. The PPA offers great things for professional photographers; educational opportunities, software discounts, certifications, competitions, legal representation, and much more. After hearing about all the benefits I couldn't help but to sign up to become a member. I'm looking forward to bettering my business and continuing to learn.

Tulips (Mount Vernon, WA)

Ok, So I love the tulip festival. Vibrant colors, pleasant smells, awesome picture opportunities. The first one pictured is one of my favorites. I love the yellow and orange/red contrast.
