Shawn and Nan

Last night Tamara and I went out with our dear friend Shawn. We met with Shawn, Nan, Shannon and others to have a nice farewell party for her. Tamara and I took off after a drink and some munchies and the others went on to dancing. I hope you all had a great night! Shawn is moving to Kansas on Sunday. Shawn, I will miss you dearly.
I have known Shawn since 1998 when I had my first open house for my photography business. Shawn started off as my manicurist and quickly we became friends. I never thought of her as anything other than my friend. I had the pleasure of shooting her family portraits over these past several years.
Shawn is an amazing women and is also very talented in her art of Permanent Makeup. I hope the best for you my friend! Someday I believe some of us may take a road trip to visit you.

Overwhelmed

It has been a very long week. I had two friends lose a loved one last weekend and I was consumed with all sorts of emotions this week. God says in Romans 12:15 we are to rejoice with those who rejoice and to weep with those who weep. The definition of the Greek word for weep here is to sob, or whale aloud. Well, did I ever weep this past week! The emotions were so intense. I think that we live in a quick fix society today. It's almost as if we try to put a patch on everything; even grieving. I used to find it hard to try and come up with something to say or do to get the persons mind off of their situation. But to be able to just sit, listen, weep with those who weep and not try to fix it; well it is an amazing act of love. My prayers are with you Britta and Lacey.

PARTNER CON 2007

Pictage Partner Conference is so amazing. We have been attending yearly since the first partner con three years ago. Every year it gets better. It is a place to build relationships, learn from the leaders in our industry and network with fellow photographers. There is so much to say about the conference so I will begin with a shot of good friends from our local pug group. Melissa Jill is our pug leader and she had a chance to speak at the conference this year. She did a great job and her topic was on blogging! As a matter of fact she was the inspiration for me to get my blog started. I will be posting more images and information so check back later.

Lynette is a women of integrity and will be very successful. I really enjoyed working with all of you today. What a great group of new friends for Lynette to get started with. Susie, Stephanie, and Margarita; best of luck to all of you and blessings to you my friend!
