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.
