I was contacted today by Rangefinder Magazine! They are one of the top pro photographer magazines & publishing companies…they also put on the largest photo convention that I go to each spring in Vegas, WPPI….and they are a great company! So, I was SUPER honored today when they emailed me and asked if they could feature me as a spotlight photographer, do a profile on me…and feature my work in their magazine! Of course, I said HECK YEA…and let out a scream!! YAY!!! What a GREAT honor, I’m soo excited!!! It won’t be until a spring issue…but that’s fine with me! Being in any issue…is just awesome! So, here’s the deal, I NEED your help…I have to feature some work…so if you have just LOVED any specific image from an engagement or wedding recently…would you mind emailing me about it…or commenting. You can either describe it…or if you are a Mac user, shift+f4 it and email the snapshot to me! I would REALLY appreciate it!! THANKS!!! Did I mention that I’m soo excited!?!?!

On another exciting note….this weekend is the BIG SURPRISE weekend that Mark is giving me as an anniversary gift!!!! So, I’m sorry…there will be a shortage of posts because I’ll be having a BLAST with my amazing husband (I CANNNNNNOT WAIT!!!)! I’ll be back next week, though….with LOTS of fun pictures of the weekend!! (the picture of us is on my anniversary suprise for him which was a new outfit, a great dinner at Sullivan’s and a holiday jazz concert! We had a blast…but I know it won’t hold a candle to his surprise because he is ALWAYS outdoing me!!) HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MARK, LOVE YOU TO PIECES!!!

Wow….what a fantastic wedding Susie & Jay had! First of all…if you live in the midwest, you know that the weather has been amazing! Saturday was the most incredible day…65 degrees, beautiful sunshine! It was great! Mark and I were actually married on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it was a total blizzard! You just never know here in the crazy state of Indiana!! Susie and Jay totally deserved the great day…they are super sweet and put a wonderful wedding together! It was very warm, initimate and sweet! They were married in the cutest little Church…it created such a close, embracing atmosphere. LOVED that!! You might notice that I was slightly obsessed with the red door. It was a great door! Anyway….they also had the most laid back day…there was no rushing, it was super low key, very easy going and tons of fun! It makes a wedding such fun when you have time to laugh and take in all the great moments!! They are also a gorgeous couple…as you will very clearly see…so photographing them was a breeze!!! So then…I was expecting a normal reception…great food, good laughs, fun dancing…well, it was all that, but then…it turned into this WILD dance party! Who knew that would happen! There were dance contests and sing alongs…and everyone was involved and it was totally WILD! Susie’s sweet Grandma was even in on the fun with a beer in her hand!! It was SUPER fun! Thanks for letting me be a part of your awesome day, Susie & Jay! (i’m a poet and i didn’t even know it!!!)
