| Awesome Group
 I had the opportunity to give a workshop up at the Brooks Institute this week and it was incredible! Definitely one of the best experiences of my life and I learned so much through the process and met so many amazing photographers!
Brooks had originally wanted me to do 2 days on shooting and workflow with a little bit on marketing the second day, but the group wanted more of the business stuff so we spent almost the whole second day on that! I was stoked because that's what I like to talk about and it was so exciting to me that these photographers understand the huge importance of that! I'll post more pics on the forum.

| Sweet Wedding!
Tonight Tim and I shot the wedding for the couple who's engagement pics I posted a while back (see'em here) and this couple is so sweet! Seriously I love them! Everything about the day was perfect...even though one of the moms wanted a few too many formals but I got over it and they had an awesome wedding!
As we were packing up the bride came over and pulled me onto the dance floor for a picture. I'll post some wedding pics tomorrow! :)

| Happy Day! 
This morning at 3:03am I moved the last piece of furniture from my old apartment into my new apartment and I am so happy to be done!!! I have many many many thank you's to say to my parents who were champs to come all the way out here and help me get this place put together, as well as to Tricia who has been an incredible help and support through it all even when I'm lame and don't answer the phone.
...and of course my man Tim who had to work in an empty apt for a week with no help from me and then who packed my car so full of my junk that I could hardly drive it! Seriously - if he wasn't so good at photography I'd suggest he start a packing business!
and lastly Happy Graduation to all of our friends from Brooks who graduated yesterday! Tim, Amy Janey, Jen, Becker, Jamie, who else??? I know I'm missing some...anyway...you guys rock and I'm sorry I coulnd't make it to any of your parties yesterday but I was there in spirit!
I'll get some more pics up soon but here's one of my parents that I shot with my new SD500 that Tim persuaded me to buy! I love it!

| Gifts from God
We're kind of running with a theme of "gifts" this past week and there are several other things that have happened that have left me both INCREDIBLY EXCITED and INCREDIBLY EXHAUSTED!
It's ironic that last week my pastor talked to us a little bit about the gift of encouragement and how God has blessed some people with the abiity to communicate His love for us at just the right moment!
Well... someone like that has written their way into my life...it's a future bride who's wedding I'll be shooting in Hawaii this September and I know she's going to read this (you'll see why in a minute) but I would say the same thing even if she wasn't going to read it because I want you all to see how UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING this girl is and how much impact you can have on someone by taking the time to do what she did! Seriously...I've read this email over a dozen times and it couldn't have come at a better time. The stress of the move, our new website, and the Brooks workshop totally hammered me last week and this girl is nothing short of an angel for taking the time to write this! Thank you!
