Maternity Leave | Owen update

I am still on "maternity leave" for four more weeks but album production is still going strong thanks to my lovely assistant, Jamelle Kelly. I am obviously still taking calls, emails and meetings, so don't hesitate to contact me. I have a lot of dates still available for 2008 because:

1) I'm not taking as many events this year so I can continue good customer service
2) It's been a slow booking season in general

Owen is growing like a weed and is already 8 weeks old. It's hard to believe that much time has elapsed but alas, it has. I will resume blogging now that the little guy finally naps with regularity, so check back with more frequency.

I have a Feb. wedding to post that I shot 7 days before I delivered baby Owen. I was 'scheduled' to edit/post it the following week. Mel and Ray, THANK YOU for being SOOOOOO patient and understanding. I have the best clients!

If you want to see more Owen photos you will have to check my baby business blog. I just figured if I posted it to this blog it would be TMI (too much information), so I created a separate blog just for the pregnancy and the baby. I will from time to time post a shot of the little guy on this blog, just for kicks.

Coconico Cycles

You might remember the fiasco from last year as I drove my bike into the garage, that is to say, I drove my car with my bike on the roof rack into our garage. AH HEM, my custom made bike, that is... so naturally the first person I called was Steve Garro of Coconico Cycles to rebuild my bike (last bike was also a Coconino). He has a 10 month waiting period... (very popular indeed) but I ordered it last year so my new bike is ready, too bad I'm not. I must be in the worst mountain biking shape of my life... but as Owen gets older and Mommy can get away more, I will get back on my bike. I went to Garro's shop about six weeks ago when my bike was getting the finishing touches and shot some photos of Steve working on it. He hand builds each frame according to your measurements. I loved my old Coconino it was my favorite bike EVER so I can't wait to ride my new pink one! It's not built up yet because we are waiting for a couple of parts that Matt and I forgot we needed. I got disk brakes this time... and a new shock, new tires, and new wheels!!! Garro built the wheels, which means that they are BOMBER!! The top tube is designed to be curved which is a nod to the old Klunkerz

If you didn't know one of the main reasons we live in Flagstaff is because we are avid mountain bikers. I know we'll be doing less mountain biking with the baby but hopefully he'll eventually love biking too.
