The Posse

Just wanted to remind those interested that I'll be giving a live video chat TODAY on Photography Mentor at 6pm PST. The chat is free and I hope a few of my blog readers can swing by for a chat! But don't worry, in case no one shows up, I made my mom create an account. At least I know I won't be alone. But I fear she'll make me recite all the Bible verses she made me memorize growing up or subject me to horrible childhood memories. Remember the time we had to have The Talk when I saw Barbie and Ken sleeping in the same bed..?

Oh, Internet, for all things good, SAVE ME.

In other news, I'm stoked to announce the ultra fab posse who'll join me for the WPPI/Las Vegas Morning Shoot. For those who are interested, I grabbed all the entries (that made the deadline) and placed them on an Excel worksheet. Each person was assigned a number, then numbers were randomly chosen, and that's how I chose the 18 spots. Yes, 18. I gave one spot to the winner of the Thirst Relief Auction (com'on, folks…it's charity!), and one spot to a dear friend who I'd be honored to have by my side. So..here's the crazy bunch that'll shoot with me…

I will be emailing the posse ASAP with further details.

Lastly, to all the AH-MAZ-ZING couples who submitted photos and their stories….thank you. JD received some of the coolest and heartfelt letters and we were blown away by the love people share. Thank you for inviting us to peek into your lives and hearts. Love is a beautiful thing. When JD and I read that Mark and Jaclyn Lippelmann had no photos together (even after being married a year and not hiring a wedding photographer), my insides fell to mush and we thought they'd be perfect candidates to be mobbed by photographers in Las Vegas. Jaclyn's email was so sweet, sincere, and humorous and I have no doubt she and Mark will bring their fierceness all the way from Kansas!

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to drop a line on my blog…although we may not be shooting together, I sure hope we get to meet at WPPI! 🙂
