This is where I'll be for the week as it stands now...subject to change of course. I hope to see all of you, my Blog readers, at some point during the week. Please do not hesitate to say hello! I would love to meet you and put a face to a name. Seriously. Safe travels y'all! Related posts:

Heather’s Perspective

Dawn McCarthy — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 20:49:44 +0000

Heather sent me the absolute sweetest testimonial about her {Walk The Shot} workshop with me. I was already crying when I received her e-mail because I was actually composing a piece about my Dad. When I read Heather's words I turned into a complete blubbering mess! Good thing y'all can't "see me" through the computer today. ;-) Anyhow, here is a recap of my {Walk The Shot} workshop from Heather's perspective. Related posts:

I Like My Chicken Fried

Dawn McCarthy — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:33:29 +0000

I have always had a love for food. Most people say "you'd never know it by looking at you" but nonetheless...food gets me excited! And yes, I like my chicken fried! Well, I like a lotta things fried but my chicken in particular. Last night I had my Nanny and Papa over for supper to celebrate my Papa's 82 birthday today and you guessed it...I fried chicken.

WPPI Paying It Forward

Dawn McCarthy — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 17:59:58 +0000

This year has already shown me more than I expected and I am beyond appreciative for everyone who has played even the smallest role in the growth of my business. I am all about helping others and I am certainly grateful when others reach out to help me. In honor of the experience of WPPI and paying it forward...I am going to run a simple contest for free head shots in Vegas. If you are attending WPPI and you could use a fresh vibrant new head shot for your website or blog this is the contest for you. That is if you are a fan of and like my personal style. ;-) Related posts:

Sixteen Candles

Dawn McCarthy — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 23:59:32 +0000

Danielle brought along the most adorable outfits and accessories. I love girls with such fun style! And that pretty in pink dress paired with those rhinestone boots just sent me right over the edge. A photographers dream! I was completely smitten in 5 minutes flat! Her innocent personality and that sweet smile was like icing on the cake. Honestly, I could have photographed her until the sunset. Come to think of it...I almost did. In between outfits we talked about her birthday. She and her family enjoyed a celebration dinner at Longhorns Steakhouse. No related posts.

{Walk The Shot} Take One

Dawn McCarthy — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:43:00 +0000

Heather and I met at Panera to kick off our one on one workshop yesterday. The sun was shining and the air was warm. We were happy! Heather was eagerly engaged in full learning mode and I was fanatically engaged in sharing mode. It was 12:30 and this was going to be a great day! I could hardly wait to give Heather her Sponsor goodie bag. I am so proud and thankful for all of the amazing vendors who have lent their talents and products to my {Walk The Shot} workshop! Heather was like a kid at Christmas. Who doesn't love a swag bag? Related posts:

Junkyard Pinups

Last week we got rained out. Monday was the reschedule. I couldn't have woken up to a more beautiful day! Unfortunately Florida weather can transform for gorgeous to treacherous within a matter of minutes. The wind pick up so fast it felt like we had stepped into the twister scene from The Wizard of Oz.

Oh My! Me and WPPI?

Dawn McCarthy — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:21:34 +0000

I can't even imagine an adequate one word intro to start this Blog with. Wow...seems lame. Amazing...seems inadequate. Thrilled...seems silly. Insane...well now...I might be onto something there! Insanely, amazingly thrilled...wow! How 'bout that? That might better explain it. Explain what you ask? Me speaking at WPPI. I couldn't have even imagined it myself. When I was asked if I would be "interested" I could barely answer without screaming into the phone..."Interested? Are you kidding me? YES! YES! YES!" And then after hanging up the phone I quickly thought "Oh Lord! What have I gotten myself into now?" Related posts:
