Hi everyone... or anyone that still stops by for a visit to this neglected blog! We would like to apologize for our absence and are here now to up date you. Both Britt and I decided a few months ago to stop posting our best work so that there would be many fresh surprises in the book.
We have been working with a literary agent and have made some changes. "The Book" is simply going to be a gift book. Beautiful images on carefully designed spreads, bound in a gorgeous book. Don't be disappointed, now!! We plan on self publishing a soft cover book as the "work book" portion. I think this is a great call, because the work book section may not be as pretty as we want the rest of the book to be. There will be a play by play of each image, in order.
We are super excited about it and we would both like to apologize for the big wait. We announced this a little prematurely because we wanted to see if there would truly be interest in it. It's a LOT of work! And I think it will be worth it!
Britt and I have been shooting together since March and we are having a BLAST. Most definitely our best stuff yet. And with my sister pregnant with twins (due in August), the best is yet to come!!
And because I can't post without a picture, here's a recent:
yay! so excited, for both books! any idea when!> lol, i know i know, im so impatient! I just cant wait, i know it will be one of the most gorgeous books on my shelf and i cant wait to get my hands on it!

Yay! I can't WAIT to see them! I've been checking this "neglected" blog religiously, patiently awaiting an update! Do you have an estimated date of when the books will be up for sale? I'm due with my second (and possibly last) baby in January and I really need some tips on how to pose him/her! Your work is some of the most beautiful I've ever seen BTW!

Random question: I know through your blog that you had twins and now your sister is pregnant with twins. Were both conceived natural? Sorry for the personal question but I'm curious because my sister is pregnant with twins as well. ;)

Looks like there's plenty of people still checking this blog!
I cannot wait til this book is published! You must tell us how we're supposed to get our hands on one, and I love the idea of the workbook separately. Crossing my fingers that this'll be coming out by the end of the year, so I'll know what to put on the top of my Christmas list. :D

Hi,
Curious as to why you say the workbook isn't as pretty as you'd like? Do you need help from a layout point of view? I helped Gordon McGregor (http://gordonmcgregor.blogspot.com/2008/04/sofobomofinito.html) with his recent project, and I'd be happy to help you too, if you would like, just let me know!
