A BIG, BIG thank you for all your wonderful birthday wishes!  It was by far one of the most wonderful birthdays ever–ever–ever.  Thank you so much!!  You have filled my cup overflowing–truly.

Today’s Photo-Recipe is something to dress up your Valentine’s Day with!  If you are planning a fun weekend or Valentine’s Day (to all the hubby’s, Valentine’s Day is this Monday ), and you find yourself in a pickle because there is no one to take your photo…I’ve got you covered!

Head over to the Nate Berkus Show home page, and catch my new Photo-Recipe for the Perfect Self-Portrait!   It’s Nate’s Featured Project!  I’m keeping it simple and fun!  It’s four of my most FAVORITE tips so you can take photos like this of you and your sweetheart!

You can’t tell, but I’m holding the camera in front of me and my sweetheart.  I shot this with the crazy, cool NEX-5 Sony Camera.  It’s the smallest DSLR ever–the size of a Point-and-Shoot!

And, AND!!, keep checking the Nate Berkus Show website today because at some point, they are going to have the trailer go live for this Monday’s show.  Oh friends, this show knocks it out of the park!  You’ll see me and Nate “photo coach” a couple on how to take Sweetheart Photos!  Yes, Nate gets totally into photo coaching with me and it is hilarious fun with real photo tips and an ending you will not believe!

Set your DVRs for this Monday’s Valentine’s Day Show with Nate Berkus!!

p.s.  All three of our beautiful SOAR! Recipients posted their Self Portrait exercises on the SOAR! BLOG this week!  This is the first SOAR! Photography Exercise, and it’s probably one of the most challenging for the gals–no sweetheart to cuddle into on this one.  But wow, these ladies did an AMAZING job!  If you haven’t, head to the SOAR! Blog and see their work!  If you have time, leave them a comment and tell them how GREAT they are doing for their first month of blogging!

What’s to Come Next Week?!  (so many great things that I have to highlight it here!!!)

Wednesday–A Special Invite to a Private Garden Party in Vegas for CONFIDENCE Women and SOAR! Applicants with our SOAR!
