Like a Kid at...

Christmas...yes, it seems to be my theme this month. Maybe because this heat has me wishing for some of that cool December weather....
In any case, if you're a Sacramento Monarchs fan (and why wouldn't you be? :)) then you may have known about a little event taking place at The University of Phoenix yesterday, but if not, I'll be posting more later this week. Needless to say, we had the best time photographing the players who showed up after a long day of practice and straight from another photo shoot with smiles and good humor.
I also had the pleasure of working with a couple of my favorite people - Heather V., Casey C., and Dhon S., from the Kings/Monarchs team. As if that wasn't awesome enough, they showed up with these posters (photo below)! These are from a photo shoot awhile back and I have to say, I have been, like a kid at Christmas, anxiously awaiting their release (just ask Heather who I hounded more than a few times :)).
For posterity's sake, a picture of my goofy happiness. I realize I'm probably supposed to act more blase' about these things, but that'd make me a total poser and I'd rather be a goofball than a poser, know what I mean? :)

They'll probably kill me for this...a behind-the-scenes shot I couldn't help taking.

and a few others that weren't used but were fun...
