Michelle East Studio Children's photography Germantown, TN

This is the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas- Beautiful!

This has been a fun yet busy few months! In March I attended a photography convention WPPI. Wedding and Portrait Photographers International where I met photographers from all over the world! I think there were something like 15,00 photographers there!! Wow! I was a small fish in a big sea! Learned a lot and had a blast in Las Vegas! My first time there! I saw the Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian Hotel, took in a Cirque show at the MGM Grand and had lots of great food!

In April life took me to New York, New York! What fun I had seeing all of the sights and sounds of the city! It was fabulous! I spent some time with an artist friend Bernette Rudolph. You can see her work at www.BernetteRudolph.com! She and I had a great time in the city visiting the art museums and galleries! A big thank you to Bernette for her wonderful hospitality!

Just finished this lovely 20x24 mixed media painting! What a beautiful little one!

Can't wait for her parents to see it in person when they come to pick it up!

I am off to New York City on Thursday! Spending a long weekend with my artist friend Bernette Rudolph, a wonderful Park Slope Artist! She is showing me the New York art scene! I can't wait! If you want to see her truly one of a kind work, log on to http://www.bernetterudolph.com! You know what, the best part is that she is 80 years young and I am not sure if I can keep up with her!

All for now! I'll be back with NY pictures and stories next week!

Happy Easter! Memphis Children Photographer, Digital Artist

Wishing all my Clients, Friends and Family a Happy Easter!

Enjoy your day with loved ones you hold dear.

This picture was taken yesterday at the beautiful Memphis Botanic Garden! If you have not visited the garden this spring, you need to! Take the kids to see My Big Back Yard there! The flowers are just gorgeous and it is such a great place to relax and enjoy your day.

I was asked by Le Bonheur Children's Hospital to take some pictures of some dolls and stuffed animals to be hung on the walls of their new hospital- opening this summer downtown. I am so honored to be a part of this project. A big thank you to Linda Hill and Dianne Papasan for all the work they are doing for our community and Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. They are giving their heart and soul to this project for the children to enjoy for years to come. Bravo to you two!

Happy Easter!
