One of my pictures was featured in VEGAS!

There was a contest with one of the gallery wrap companies I use to help decorate their tradeshow booth at the convention. All you had to do is send in your picture and they would choose the ones they wanted to use for their display. Well, mine was chosen out of hundreds of entries that were submitted(only 11 were chosen)!! I was very surprised when I got the email! Here is a picture of me with my winning entry at their booth. I get to keep the canvas wrap too-so look for it soon at the studio!

Home from Vegas

Hey everyone!! I am back and finally caught up on sleep-I think! It was an awesome trip, but very tireding. The first few days it was me and my husband, along with Liz and her husband. We did a lot of walking around looking at the different hotels, eating out, getting lost going to a mall, and loosing a bunch of money gambeling!! The guys left on Monday and it was just me & Liz for the WPPI convention the rest of the week. I saw many different speakers throughout the week and have learned a lot of new stuff that you will be seeing very soon! I even attended a couple different parties while out there, along with getting to see Blues Traveler in a special WPPI concert event. I met some online photography friends I have known for several years-but never met face to face-so that was cool-I also ran into two people I knew from my PPANI association. I will leave you with some of my favorite shots from the week.

I'm heading out to VEGAS!!!!

This will be my first trip to Vegas-and my first time on an airplane(kind of nervous about that)!! I will be out of town from Friday, February 13th-Friday, February 20th-I'll be back in the studio on Monday the 23rd. I am going out for a mixture of fun and a big photography convention-WPPI's annual photography convention. I can't wait to see all the new products and take home some new ideas to bring to the studio-watch for many changes when I get back!

I will not be checking email or phone messages while I am gone-so if you need something just leave a message and I will start returning messages on Monday, February 23rd.

And...I am taking my camera(of course I can't put that down for a week!) so watch for pictures when I return.

I hope everyone has a nice Valentines weekend!!!!
