I had lunch yesterday with Amber- a friend that is super dear to me. She lives in Washington now but she was here with her husband who was on a work trip so it was the perfect excuse for her to have lunch with me!
It’s always my honor to hang out with her. And I miss seeing her a lot.
A lot.
She is a fellow photographer- something that both of us love to do but we didn’t know that about each other until she moved away. But now we get to watch each other work through our blogs (see hers here), facebook and twitter. She is very good at what she does and while we have different styles, interests and creativity, it’s so wonderful to be able to have a conversation that gets both of our creative juices flowing.
It’s just so refreshing to me to be able to sit down with someone who is in the same field and to not feel like you are in competition with them. Competition in this as a photographer is not what Jason and I want to be about. I am inspired and encouraged by others’ work. I hope people feel that way about me too.
It was so great to catch up with her and to talk about what she’s doing and where she wants to be in her photography.
Did I say that I really miss her?
I was really encouraged by her knowledge of starting a studio out of your garage. Its something I was somewhat against at first, but I really, really want to get into boudoir photography. It would be the perfect reason to have a studio. It’s a work in process but I’ve already got the process going. I’m super excited about it and seeing her excitement for me made it even more exciting!
It was so good to see her. You should check out her blog. She’s a mamma to 4 great kids and has some freakin hysterical posts coming about the time she spent in Paris.
I was literally crying when she told me the stories about the gypsies.
Amber, I’m coming with you the next time you go to Paris!

Look at you posting about me!! What a dearie you are!! I’m finally caught up with my 5 MILLION blogs that I follow and what a sweet little surprise I had waiting for me on your blog:) Thanks for the shout out lady..wow I better get that gypsy post ASAP!!
Every where we go the kids say..”Mom tell the gypsy story!” LOL!
lol!!! I told Jason that story and we were laughing so hard though! I don’t think I did it justice though b/c the way you tell it is hysterical! haha Oh man… I was so happy to hang with you last week! I miss you so lady!
