I can’t believe how big she’s getting!

Who knew that being pregnant would be so exhausting? Ok, I kind of knew but still…phew! I’m still here & still booking limited sessions. I’m super excited for an upcoming trip to Milwaukee to take some early 9 month shots of little G. You may remember her mama’s belly shots from last summer! While I’m in the MKE, I will also be sneaking in a few belly shots of my college roommate who is due 10 days before me with a little girl! I cannot wait!
I’ve had a few wedding inquiries for this summer. Unfortunately because of lil’ man’s impending arrival, I will not be shooting any weddings or sessions this summer. However, by the middle/end of October, I **should** be able to start back up. If you’re interested please e-mail me at emily@regenthilldesigns.com.

Have I mentioned how much I love this little girl lately?
In other news, my very own model should be making his or her debut some time around July 30!
I’ve gotten several inquires lately wondering if I’m still alive and taking pictures. The answer is YES! I have a good reason for not blogging, I swear I do. Maybe next week I will tell you why but for now you will have to wait and wonder! B’s mom asked me to put a storyboard together for her, oh about a month ago and I’ve been putting it off because it requires me to remember to plug my laptop into my external hard drive. And to say that I’ve been forgetful lately is an understatement.I FINALLY remembered today (maybe it’s because I’m babysitting B’s big sister) as Fetzer snoozed by my feet! So here it is!

Isn’t she cute?? It’s hard to believe that I’m taking her 6 month pictures next weekend. Where has the time gone?
I spent most of last week in San Diego for work and managed to sneak away on Wednesday afternoon to take a few pictures.

I think we may have snuck this session in on the last day of fall. It was beautiful at Como Park and today it is snowing! Gotta love the midwest!

This looks like yearbook material, don’tcha think?
Love this shot!

It was a perfect day to hang out in Excelsior! Here are a few shots from my session with Pete today!

This weekend will mark the first weekend that I have been home in 6 weeks. Our friends think we’re crazy for traveling so much but when the people you love are getting married or live 5 hours away and you just happen to miss them…you travel. A lot.
I spent one of those 6 weekends in Fargo, North Dakota visiting one of my BFF’s, Stephanie. Stephanie is one of those people you meet and fall head over heels in love with approximately 4.25 minutes later. She’s the one that smacked me on the head while I was treading helplessly in about 20 feet of water, when a horsefly landed on my head. (Did I mention we had known each other for about a week?) I’m pretty sure the horsefly got away and I got a mouth full of Long Lake. She happily insisted that it was an “RDM” (relationship defining moment) and from that day on we became virtually inseparable.
So one Friday afternoon, I hopped in my truck and made the long trip up to Fargo. Fargo is nothing like I imagined it to be. Even though I had been there once before, I was still stuck by how…well, normal it is! We did what we do best, drank beer, shopped, decorated, watched the Sex and the City movie (finally), supported the local American legion bar and ordered not one but 2 pizzas that weekend. It was a blast and I can’t wait to go back!
Unfortunately, the weather didn’t really cooperate for pictures that weekend. I had planned on taking pictures of Steph & her hubby Sunday but the weather had other plans. These are the only two images I captured that weekend:
There were two extra cool highlights of this trip…
1) I got to meet Ria of Rialee Photography. We made an impromptu trip into the building where Steph knew she had her studio. Ria was so kind and let us poke around her studio while she waited for her clients to arrive. She is one of my biggest inspirations so it was AMAZING to see where she worked AND meet her! Be sure to check out her blog here.
2) I finally got to see the new Pout Baby Boutique that Steph’s former co-worker owns. I’ve been following the Pout Blog since our friend Paula designed their logo. The store looks fantastic and I couldn’t leave without buying some gear for Miss Belle. I got a pair of these and a pair of these. I highly recommend stopping in to see Kris & Holly if you’re in the Fargo area – the store is beautiful!
So that was my trip to Fargo! I recharged my girlie battery which was very much needed!

PS: This extra long post is a result of my impulse purchase last week before I left for Texas. I am now a proud owner of this:
A very, very pretty 19″ Samsung flat screen monitor. I had finally had enough of squinting into my teeny, tiny laptop screen so I did some research and headed over to the local big box store and picked it up. I’m officially in love. **sigh** It makes editing so much easier and faster. Hopefully this will help expedite my photo processing which in turn means you get your images faster! It’s really a win, win!
