			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eric and Joni Kay, whose wedding we photographed in Naperville, Illinois, back in October, have received their book.  Joni Kay shared these words with me when she saw the design preview:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Eric and I love the wedding book, the layouts are beautiful and we cannot wait to get the real thing! Thank you again for capturing our wedding day, we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. The pictures turned out beautifully and it was such a pleasure to work with you. We don’t want to change a thing on the wedding book so it is 100% approved!</em></p></blockquote>
<p>They now have &#8220;the real thing&#8221; and are delighted.  I&#8217;m grateful to Eric and Joni Kay for letting me photograph their fun and special day.</p>
<p>Bookings are now being accepted for 2010 and 2011&#8211;reserve your date now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://imagingusa.org/images/template/iusa_logo.png" alt="Imaging USA" /></p>
<p>This week I&#8217;m headed to several days of learning and networking in Nashville, TN, where <a href="http://ppa.com">Professional Photographers of America</a> is hosting its annual conference, <a href="http://imagingusa.org/">Imaging USA 2010</a>.  Learning has always been a priority for me and Imaging USA is a great place to do just that.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m convinced that photographers who want to serve their clients better must be constant learners. Technology changes and we need to stay on top of the latest tools of the trade.  Through conventions and trade shows like Imaging USA, we also learn about new developments from vendors&#8211;products, services, techniques&#8211;that enable us to better meet our clients&#8217; needs.  We also gain important opportunities to meet other photographers and share ideas.</p>
<p>To that end, I&#8217;ve read dozens of books and hundreds of articles&#8211;both in print and online&#8211;over the last few years.  In 2006, I attended a lighting workshop in Indianapolis with Atlanta-based music and editorial photographer <a href="http://www.zackarias.com/">Zack Arias</a> and this past spring I attended a workshop with celebrity wedding photographer <a href="http://bobanddawndavis.com/">Bob Davis</a> in Chicago.  In addition to attending Imaging USA this year, I&#8217;m also participating in a portrait workshop in Los Angeles with commercial and fine art photographer <a href="http://studiomark.com/main.html">Mark Robert Halper</a> in May.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to what this next week and this upcoming year hold, and I&#8217;m excited about learning some new things will enable me to better help you.</p>

Her gentle spirit and concern for others tell me she&#8217;d be fantastic with young children.
