A while back, we were asked to allow a local wedding venue to use our photos of a wedding/reception for their “Featured Wedding” for the 2008 version of their website. We were thrilled and honored.

Today, I got a late and hurried phone call from the venue’s owner. She needs the images first thing in the morning because they also want to submit them to a magazine for their profession! wow!!! *blush*

I suffered several technical difficulties this evening (wouldn’t you know it) because the search feature wasn’t working on my computer. (what on Earth???). I was afraid that the images were misplaced. Through some recent projects, like the clients’ album, I knew the images couldn’t have gone far, but I couldn’t find them, either. Panic began to set in. I called my first backup storage facility; no luck[1]. I called our album designer; she had a few. I called my photography partner, Dennis; he had them all. yay!

Then just as we resorted to plan “b”, my wonderful husband found them on my computer. (again, what on Earth???). So, the wonderful Dennis is burning the images (he’d already started) and delivering them to the venue in the morning. I wrote the commercial licence (hope I got THAT right) and sent it to them by email.

So, crisis averted….and images on their way and on time! whew!

[1] Because of our online image hosting, all is never lost. We always have yet another copy of the images But that server/service is in California, so we couldn’t get them on such a short deadline.

Fellow photographer, Aaron Johnson, writes the daily online comic strip, “What The Duck?”

Today’s strip is quite relevant to where I am right now.

Thank you all for your patience during my busy seasons. I’m grateful that I never want to refer to my clients as “crazy”.

Over the years, we’ve had several friends have a Fish Camp (or a T or Howdy Camp) named after them. We’ve been to several revelations and watched as students surprised faculty and staff with treats and gifts (sometimes quite odd ones).

We were thrilled to be invited to the revelation of Camp Forman, named for our friend Tracey. We know that Chris & Melinda, her co-chairs, will select a great team of counselors and will produce a camp worthy of carrying the Forman name!

The Grand Opening of The Nest was a fabulous experience. Not only did they offer a plethora of activities, they provided amazing food and an unending bar. More than anything, they provided friends and camaraderie to last a lifetime.

If you are in need of a quick getaway or a massage, I highly recommend The Nest.

Why should you spend the extra money to hire a professional photographer? Most of us have a friend with a really nice camera who shoots good images. Why should you decline the opportunity to save that money?

• Professionals know posing.
• Professionals know lighting.
• Professionals have experience.
• Professionals have ideas.
• Professionals have the stamina for a full-day of shooting.

Of course, this does not only apply to photography. You should strongly consider hiring professional vendors for all aspects of your wedding.

Like most photographers, I study the works of others. From this, I can learn from their mistakes, gain ideas and inspiration, and keep my work fresh and innovative. One photography team I like the work of is Jamie Weiss. Their most recent wedding has some amazing shots.

wow!
