That’s right! I’m seeking a fabulous intern/assistant to work w/ me in my lovely home. Intern will assist w/ placing, packaging, and delivering orders; entering client information and maintaining client folders; backing up session images; creating client galleries and possibly slideshows; additional tasks as needed; and mostly keep me from going crazy and talking to myself constantly.

I’m looking for someone who’s:

• available monday-thursday, anywhere from 5-15 hours a week (schedule will be flexible and hours will vary, closer to 5 hours a week during slow times and more during busier times)
• reliable
• organized
• quick learner
• strong computer skills
• familiarity w/ excel, html, photoshop, and graphic design a plus
• a lover of photographs, music, smiles, and all things cheesy, also a plus

Please note that this is not a  paid position, but is for those looking for college internship opportunities, high school co-ops, photography/photoshop lessons (I absolutely don’t know everything there is to know about either, but am happy to share what I do know), print credit and a free session per year.

If you are interested, please complete an application at www.priscillabphotography.com/blog/internshipapplication and email a resume to me at priscilla@priscillabphotography.com.

Since a post would not be complete without pictures, this gives me a great chance to share a session from last year that I wasn’t able to. One of my favorites. Now that I’m *old* I had my 10 year high school reunion in October. It was so wonderful to see friends who meant so much to my life. It was even better when I had a session with a couple of said friends. Spencer and Gretchen. A couple who’s names, to anyone who know them, go together like Romeo and Juliet, Ozzie and Harriett, Fred and Wilma, and Peanut Butter and Jelly. Everyone knew they would end up together, get married, and have beautiful babies. Oh, I was so happy to see them again and meet beautiful little Adelyn. I only wish I had stopped at maybe two glasses of wine at the reunion. The time just went by too fast. These pictures make me so happy. One more thing…Gretchen is an amazing artist! Be sure to check out her work at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Art-by-gretchen/151721777225  and on Etsy at http://www.etsy.com/shop/artbygretchen 

I mean just look at those eyes and she’s already got her mommas style!

 Peace and love,

First I have to apologize to those who subscribe to my blog and receive it through email. Videos don’t normally make it through email and I completely left out the link for those who couldn’t view the video in my last email. So…here’s the link to the beautiful and very inspirational video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8K9s7_k3TM&feature=player_embedded 

Don’t you love meeting those people who can really do anything they set their mind to? I honestly don’t think I’ve met anyone as talented as D. I didn’t realize just how talented until I made it to their home. Let’s see…both D and A are engineers; D decorates cakes and is VERY VERY good at it; she has quite the photographic eye; she had a large role in designing their amazing kitchen from scratch; and not to mention the beautiful interior design in their home. I’m sure there’s many many more that I didn’t learn of that day, but I have to say, I was very impressed. Especially when I left with four yummy cupcakes and told that I should let her know when I need a chocolate fix (Can I put you on speed dial?) 

{Insert subliminal message to all clients to have cupcakes for me at every session.}

I’m sure little Mr. A is going to be so talented like his momma and dad. He will be here so soon and everyone can finally find out what his name will be. I love that D and A have kept his name a secret. Friends and family know it will start with an A, but that’s it. I feel so privileged that I know! I may be able to be bribed…

Thank you D and A for having me in your home and being so open to my ideas…even the ones that involved you going out into the freezing snow!

My absolute favorites…

Peace and love,

P.S. So, I have been made fun of by a nameless friend…you know who you are ….for my “Peace, love and xoxo”. Although I will fight and argue until I can’t anymore, that I’m not doing this because of that, after some consideration, I am dropping the xoxo. That MAY be a little too cheesy But the Peace and love will be going no where! I mean…that’s cool…right? I know…I know…you were all so worried about where the “xoxo” went to.

When I watched this inspiring video, I knew I had to share it with all of my wonderful mommas. We all know I’m a sap, but if you’re anything like me, you may want to have a tissue ready. So, here’s a little something to inspire all you beautiful ladies that inspire me every day. Thank you.

Peace, love, and xoxo,

Cilla

Beautiful. Brave. Warm heart. I couldn’t ask for more in a maternity session.  I loved the way they were completely open to my ideas and style. My favorite parts were their love and her laugh. Flipping through the images I quickly notice that my favorites are of C laughing. That’s when she was in her element. Oh and when they were together. Wow, wow, wow. Any couple who has had a session with me knows I often ask to “whisper sweet nothings”. I always joke that you can talk about dinner if you want just as long as you’re close and enjoying yourself. These are ALWAYS my favorite images. I often get sweet loving laughs or what I call “I’m so in love with him” looks and sighs. Going through this session my heart just melted looking at these. The way B looks at her. You can tell how deep their love is. You can feel it.

So hard to choose the ones to show, but I’ve decided on some more tub shots Yes…these sessions the same day, but this shot was planned, the last one not so much. Once I learned how much C LOVES baths, I was even more happy we decided to do this.

See…can’t you almost hear how great her laugh is? 

 Thank you both for allowing me in your home! I can’t wait to meet baby girl!

Peace, love, and xoxo,

Cilla

Warning: If you have a beautiful tub with gorgeous light, I WILL take you in there. Just sayin.

Aren’t they gorgeous? And look at his hair! The S family was so very patient with me when it came to their maternity photos, I couldn’t dream of making them wait too long for a sneak peek of newborn photos. This is another one of those families that I just *click* (no pun intended) with. Another one of those families that I have trouble leaving because I’m just talking too much. It’s hard when I have a heater and noise machine in my ear and can’t hear anything, especially when I just want to talk talk talk while I shoot

I am so excited to be back to shooting and back to blogging sneak peeks! Hope you enjoy!

Oh he was so very tired, but this pesky lady (**me**) kept moving him.

Peace, love, and xoxo,
