Lunch with David Jay!

/

Aside from being tax day, Tuesday brought with it the happy opportunity to have lunch with none other than David Jay! After his morning presentation at HOA, we all got together for lunch to chat and pick each other's brains. Hanging out with fellow photographers is the coolest! (Poor DJ, he had to run before finishing his food as he had another presentation to give!)

I had never met David Jay before, but was familiar with his work... and am happy to report he is every bit as easy going and friendly as people say. (And the big dork I was, I switched purses that day and forgot my camera! Arg!)

Thanks again for swinging through Nebraska David!

New Toy!

/

It's always fun to get a new photographic toy (err... I mean 'tool'). In this case, it's a Lens Baby 2.0. It just arrived yesterday... so I took it with me to my client meeting this morning (in my office away from my office... aka: Scooter's Coffee House :). It's kinda tricky to work with (you focus it by basically squeezing it like an accordion!), but super fun to use... and I love the results!

Downtown Lincoln, NE on a gorgeous Wednesday morning!

May Your Flowers Live On!

Ok, ok... I've been crazy swamped lately..... and haven't posted since Sunday (gasp!).... but it's all good stuff coming down the pipes... I promise!

On a side note, check out the FANTABULOUS Missy Cannon from Flowers Into Paintings. A gifted fine artist, she can forever preserve your wedding bouquet by transforming it into a one-of-a-kind wall art painting! (I wish I had known about her when Emir and I were married, you can bet I would have had her do my bouquet... I just love stuff like this!)

Happy Friday! :)

The Name Game

/

Having a hard time deciding what to do with your name after you get married? Something that has become increasingly popular is for couples to actually combine their last names into something new when they marry... with each of them changing their names to the new version (vs. one person taking the other person's name by default). I've actually had some friends of mine who did this. Even if that isn't your cup of tea, check out some automated combinations of your names from WeddingChannel.com just for fun. I don't plan to blend our names, but Emir and I did find some fun possible names for our (future) kids!
