Our amazing web designer Ryan at Finch Designs has done it again! His link lives on the side bar of this blog. New menus, a new gallery, gallery "4" at the end of my wedding images, new images in anna's gallery, new navigation, new press & awards section, and a new video of us shooting in Mexico, probably coming in the next day or too! Also, as you can tell on our new main menu, a little idea of fun stuff to come!!!

We did this really fun portrait shoot for our friend Janey of Mary Jane Photography, she’s so funny. As you can see we couldn’t stop laughing. I think we should just all take photos of each other more often. It’s a good way to document how you were, and felt at the time, and look back on them to bring you back to another time. I love what I do, and almost feel guilty that I get to do this for a living! Hugs to all of you that have given us the opportunity to shoot for you!

I would be hard pressed to find an e-mail better than this one from Jim Davis-Hicks, President and CEO of Thirst Relief. This was at the end of an e-mail he sent about the action site crashing... "At the end of this ordeal we’ll have spread a lot of wisdom and talent and saved at least over 10,000 lives it appears!!!!!!! Way to go! For real, I am in awe at the amazingly generous spirit of this whole bunch and to look through the list and know that you are all so supportive of our efforts! It is humbling and inspiring."

THANK YOU.

Warmly,

Jim Davis-Hicks

We'll I guess we can say that the Thirst Relief auction is going well since there were so many bids the site crashed last night! But we're up and running again today and the bids are now extended 1 day + 8 hours. So those of you who didn't get a chance but wanted to, feel free to bid. Thanks so much to all of you who participated in this great cause! I apologize to any of you who thought they had won, but just to be fair to everyone (cause we're not sure exactly how the closing bids went down and/or everyone had an equal chance to bid before the crash) we're going to continue the bidding cycle until the natural close of the auction. Thanks so much, to bid click HERE!

Hey you guys, it’s been insane with our move! Though we’ve had so much help from all of our friends including our photographer friend Tim Halberg. He’s just one of those guys that’s always there for you. We should be able to get picks up soon, but won’t have internet hooked up in our new place until tomorrow morning and I can’t blog very will from my iPhone! So I'm posting right now at The Daily Grind on the corner of our block for the time being. We’ve been here so much the last couple days it’s been funny to see everyone switch shifts all day long. Anna & I are so excited and honored to be a part of the Thirst Relief International Mentoring program at WPPI to generate money for water pumps to help combat thirst and lack of clean water for people across the globe. Mike Colon & David Jay have been so dedicated to spearhead this effort, it’s been really inspiring to see them give so much of their own time and money for this cause. So If you want a peek at how Anna & I run our studio and a more in depth education on our Platform presentation program at WPPI: Standing Out in the Photography Industry you can bid/donate to the great cause of Thirst Relief International for some time with us HERE Hurry though, the bidding ends tonight!!! So make sure you don’t procrastinate!!!
