We are going to get SCHRUTE on Sunday!

The breeders sent some new pictures this morning! The vet says that he will be a BIG one according to his paws!

We are SO excited!

The EXPO has come and gone – I was no nervous Friday morning –

What if my display isn’t up to par?

What if people don’t even stop to look?

What if …

I am blessed with WONDERFUL friends and family who helped me and kept me calm.

Friday morning I drove up with Johna and set up for the morning crowd –

Johna – a former barden photography bride and client for life – was so good with the brides – telling them what she liked best about our packages – helping out with any questions – I am so glad she came along!

KT – a barden photography client and future bride – also came along to help with the crowd and give her testimonies to potential barden photography brides!

SIGNING UP FOR A FREE ENGAGEMENT SESSION – WE HAD 86 BRIDES SIGN UP!

SATURDAY – the weather was AWFUL – KT and Jenna – a former barden photography bride and client for life – helped hand out packages and answer questions!

We left at 7.30 instead of staying till 9.30 because the crowds were sparse and the weather was getting worse.

SUNDAY – MOM B came with and poured on the sweetness!

THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE – Johna, KT, Lori, Jenna, Mara, Connie, Courtney, and Mom B!

THANKS to my family who stopped up to see me!

Thanks to all the people that stopped to visit the booth and to the brides that booked a date on the spot!

I am so excited about this next step in our lives – now the question is – when will it OFFICIALLY start?

Here are a few shots I took before my senior session last Sunday –

Holly – a barden photography bride from November – has won a free photo session with the referral of a wedding.

Kristie has booked a wedding for August 22, 2009!

Thanks again Holly – can’t wait to see you for your session!

THANKS –

MOM B – COURTNEY – CONNIE – you guys helped out so much!

The EXPO wrapped up today and I have 3 immediate referrals and a senior portrait booking!

I had 85 brides register to win the free engagement session and about 150 brides visit my table and inquire about prices!

I had to turn quite a few away with dates that were already booked.

I had a great turnout – especially for my first time – GOD IS GOOD!

Tomorrow I will try and e-mail the brides and thank them for stopping by!

EXCITING TIMES!!

Schrute is 7 weeks and 14 pounds!

We leave early Sunday morning to pick him up!

We are so excited to get our baby!

THANK YOU AGAIN –
