WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO PICK UP SCHRUTE!

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 –
