Camp Mighty Photos: Day Two

A week late, but that's ok, right? Here are some fine snaps from Day Two of the Camp Mighty festivities last week at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs. 

Bing and Wantist gave us ALL gifts based on items on our life list! They were personal and so well done!! I got the new Smitten Kitchen cookbook along with sweet recipe cards from Yellow Owl Workshop. Thanks, Bing & Wantist! Amber Marlow received the nicest personalized stationery from Hello Lucky. She loved them and you can tell- look how big her smile is below!

The Ace Hotel doesn't mess around for meal times. They fed us well and I appreciated every piece of delicious food that I did not have to prepare, cook, or clean up. (Spending time and money on food & eating is a daily chore for me).


Jihan Zencirli of Geronimo Balloons gave out NED yo-yos (Never give up, Encourage Others, and Do your best) as a supplement to her awesome and inspiring story of how she's become The Balloon Girl. 

We made super classy crafts with the Craft Pack girls- Alison (of the alison show) & Susan (of freshly picked). Bing supplied us with all the materials for us to make leather key chains, freezer paper stencil tote bags, and other crafty holiday surprises. I made a bag... check out my Instagram photo :)


Maggie, Margaret, and Laura lookin' lovely during lunch. 


The Ace Hotel all decked out for our Space-themed party. I was going to wear a long silver dress but then this happened in my hotel room :(


Smilebooth was there- yay!!

Dancing makes everyone happy. Thanks to Anna Beth (AB Chao), Susan, and Laura for the great costumes and killer-jam moves. 

Poor Pluto is not feeling mighty these days. 

Camp Mighty Photos: Day One

It's barely begun and I already feel so blessed to be here at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs. Although Camp Mighty has come at a bad time on the home front (my husband is in the hospital, recovering from surgery), I couldn't be happier to be here. Camp Mighty is such a lively and lovely community. And Smilebooth is here- yay!!

I've already met a book publisher, a letterpress gal who just ran (and WON) a 100 mile race in India, and a super rad female exec at Facebook (who also lives in an Eichler!)... among others! Here are a few top fave photos from my day. I can't wait for tomorrow! Thanks to Bing for having us! 

Photographing the Everyday

Photographing the Everyday: a JetKat workshop for photographing children  

JetKat Photo is excited to announce a workshop offering a more in-depth look at digital photography so that you can begin taking photos you're excited to share!

Spend the morning with me and you’ll learn how to take your camera off the automatic setting. We’ll cover lighting, composition, and getting those photos off your camera. I’ll provide snacks, inspiration, worksheets, and a cute kid model for you to practice your new skills. When we’re done, you’ll leave with a new understanding of your digital camera and will have the skills and confidence to start taking true creative control over your photographs.

You’ll benefit from a small workshop class size and an experienced teacher. I’ve been a professional photographer for almost 20 years and I’ve been teaching photography to kids and adults for over 10 years.

As part of my fundraising efforts for Camp Mighty, 100% of your class fee proceeds will be donated to charity: water.  Register HERE or click on the image below. 

Sunday, December 9 • 10am • San Jose, CA • Cost $35 • class size is very limited
