*SWAG ALERT*

I will be hosting a booth at the Arnot Mall Bridal Expo in January. You will have an opportunity to win some sweet SWAG.

*THIS HAS BEEN A SWAG ALERT*

I just booked my third senior session of the year - which means that all the FREE 11 x 14 prints are spoken for.

I still have plenty of slots left for SENIOR pictures.

Congrats to Jenna for being the first winner of the SWAG challenge. Melissa has booked a wedding with me 5.30.2009.

Jenna has referred many clients to me - so many that she prolly should have free photography for life - but this is the first one since the SWAG CHALLENGE has been in place.

Thanks Jenna - for referrals and for your friendship - I look forward to the next photo shoot with you guys.

Stuff We All Get - in honor of The Office starting back up tonight -

SWAG is usually free - so for those of you who refer a wedding client to me and they book a wedding in 2009 - you get some SWAG - a free photo session (within limits). This starts October 1, 2008.

I am so excited for my senior shoot on Sunday - I can’t wait to try out the new spots that I have in my head to work with - alleys - phone booths - police stations and old fire departments - and much much more - be on the lookout for a new post ASAP after that session.

An update to the RAY challenge - seeing as how I have had NO submissions for the contest - that FREE photo shoot which could have be a senior shoot is drifting off into the wind. The deadline is August 20th - this Wednesday - by 9 PM.

Reckless Abandon Youth - PM hosted a game night on Saturday night - we joined them for pizza and a few rounds of Rock Band.

What does Reckless Abandon mean to you?

As children of the Almighty - we must be prepared to stand up for what we believe - what is right.

For those members of RAY - I am issuing a CHALLENGE - with a contest thrown in.

Tell me what you think Reckless Abandon means to you - to the church - to the lives of teenagers. Two rules - it must be AT LEAST 100 words - it must be submitted by 8.20.2008 - which is a Wednesday - the first Wednesday OUR PowerKidz become RAY members.

The winner will get a free photo shoot of your choice - within reason.
