I have to admit it: I’m guilty!  I’m guilty of being that person who thought that just because I had a fancy DSLR camera that could shoot oh-so-many frames per second with autofocus, that I could just fire away with my trigger finger like a bat outta hell.  I guess I thought that I could...

Well… I survived my first ever WPPI experience.  Yes, people were right…  it was certainly overwhelming.  Thousands of people, hundreds of exhibitors, and dozens of speakers.  But if you take it in stride, it’s really no that bad.  So here’s my quick summary of what I briefly took away from each of the speakers that...

Ooohh I’ve been waiting to share this for a few weeks now!  I just love the vision of Elizabeth and Adrienne over at Gracie Lou Events.  They come up with the BIG ideas and make them happen… Like setting up a tablescape in the middle of a farm on top of 3-feet of snow.  WHAT?!...

A huge thank to Sonia Kaur of IndianWeddingSite.com for featuring one of my favorites couples today: Rachana and Peter.  You probably remember these two from our ‘secret proposal’ shoot last summer.  Adorable!  Definitely head over to Sonia’s site to see a two days packed-with engagement sessions.  I’m sure it’s filled with fun ideas for all...
