I shared in an earlier post how I always disliked having my photo taken- and challenging oneself to step outside your comfort zone. I knew I needed some quality photos of myself, so I turned to the amazing and talented Lauren Jaye of Vida Mia Photography Studio in Folsom, California.
I am so glad I did! Lauren put me at ease and the photo shoot was fun! Here are just a couple of pictures taken of me by Lauren:

I’m wrapped in my award winning quilt, In the Garden, which was designed and pieced by Barb Kiehn and freehand quilted by me. The setting of the shoot was at my home and in my 5 acre land. Below, I am standing among the oak trees and native weeds grasses.

I highly recommend Lauren Jaye’s photography skill to any blog readers in Northern California. She loves to work with artists, musicians, and children, in addition to her fabulous avant-garde photography work. Go check out her portfolio and facebook page.
Here is another image taken of me standing by the stonework of my front door. If you look closely, you will spot Ethan’s trike and Sarge’s doggie bed:
I hope you have enjoyed seeing what I look like since I have been rather camera shy. Coming up, I have lots of new teaching venues and events planned for the coming year! I am working on new eClasses that will be held on iCreateFlix, so have splurged on a new video equipment and editing software to help with that. I leave you with one last photo- a candid shot of my being myself and laughing. Those who know me well know how much I love to laugh:
Hugs to you all, from Carla
