Last month I took some of the photos from the June Pictage User Group meeting that the folks over at Digital Labrador were gracious enough to let us use their space.  Johnna Bockover volunteered to show off some actions and tips from Totally Rad Actions and Darbi got up for a few also.  It was a  great experience as we all mingled and shared some wine...and, who brought the Vodka!?! 

Some new things I'm excited about....

New wedding photography disc cases!  The first batch took some time arriving but now I'm stocked up!  I really love this one.  Favorite new feature...It has a magnetic field to keep it closed.  Baby sessions will feature a white, pink or blue...

This week over at I Heart Faces it's barefoot week to help raise awareness for Soles 4 Souls!  This is an amazing charity and it's so easy.  $1 = 1 pair of shoes. 

I happen to have a LOT of sole photos.  I'm not sure why and once someone asked me if I have a thing for feet...The answer is no.  I do have a thing for shoes though!




**UPDATE**  I'm going to donate $1 for each individual comment left on this blog post until the end of the weekend!  Now it's even easier to help raise $ for a good cause!

I met with an awesome bride, Laura, on Monday and it reminded me to post a "Favorite Blogs I Follow" post.  As a photographer in Kansas City, I have to keep up with wedding trends.  If I didn't, it would be like a real estate agent that knew nothing about the neighborhood.  So, I follow a TON of awesome photography and wedding blogs and I've listed them below with descriptions for you to check out as well.  These are also blogs that inspire me with my own wedding photography.  I hope these blogs help as you plan your wedding.

And if you would like to follow any of these wedding photography and planning blogs, I suggest using Google Reader.  It's free and easy!  By the way, none of these blogs are affiliated with me, I just simply enjoy reading them.

Oh, and I'd be foolish not to include my own blog as long as you are choosing your blogs to follow ;)  Kansas Wedding Photographer and Wedding photographer Blog

So happy blogging and if you have your own wedding planning blog, please feel free to share them in the comments.  I love seeing blogs from the brides & grooms that I photograph!

I figure, there's no better place to start looking for talent than right here with the people who follow me.  So, before I go elsewhere, you see it first...I'm hiring a new second photographer.  This position will not be lead shooting weddings, but second shooting weddings with me.  You must have a digital SLR with at least a couple lenses and be available on Saturdays.  Please be passionate about photography and weddings!  If you fit the bill, send me an e-mail with a link to your images, a list of camera equipment and something about you.
