Davis County Clipper January 2008 

 The following pictures are mostly all taken by Michelle Coleman of Little Dreamer Designs at a CPR (Creative Photography Retreat) in August 2008 in San Jose, CA. We were asked to do a photo scavenger hunt with specific categories and the only rule was that at least one person from the group must be in each photo.

Let’s start with my total FAVORITE Charlies Angels pose for the “Retro” category: 

This photo of Tana was for the “Natural Lighting” category:  

 Our “Photojournalism” photo:  

Our “Something Red” category photo:  

The “Water” shot (check out the cool angle!) (and NO, we didn’t get wet! LOL) 

This was our portrait photo (I was forced to pose, LOL!)

 (This is the portrait that I really love and currently am switching out my avatars to - below)

(This is much more my personaltiy! And thanks to Michelle for being such an awesome photographer!) 

This category was the “Purse” category (only shot with Michelle who took most of the other photos)

This was the “Shoot Through Glass” photo:

This category is the “Pose with an Animal” category

This one is for the ultimate “Scraptographer” 

This one is the “Reflection” photo

The last one was the category that was “The Essence of CPR”  

And this is just a candid of ALL of us! (not entered in the contest, just for fun)

L to R: Michelle, Lori, Tana, Me, Melody 

And we DID win the FIRST PLACE “BEST PHOTOGRAPHIC” AWARD! (Just for the scavenger hunt) Wahoo! So much fun! Thanks for letting me share! :)

 P.S. Guess who I sat with on the plane to San Jose? Cute, cute, Lisa Bearnson of Creating Keepsakes Magazine! She was SO cool and down to earth. I had always thought she was such a cool person, well, my opinion of her increased 100 fold! She is an AMAZING person! I hope to do more with her in the future!  Lisa was the keynote speaker for CPR and she was SO awesome and then after the kick-off  (opening night of CPR) and then she came up to our room and hung out with us for a few hours and it was a blast!

Here is our picture: 

It was SO much fun hanging out with this girl! And we had quite an adventure getting from the

airport to our hotel and had bonding moments! LOL :)
