Range Finder Magazine

We were very happy to see our Range Finder "Cookbook" article made it into the 266 pages of the WPPI Show Guide. Its the first time that Range Finder has published us so hopefully we are on to something :)

Teaching Bahamas School

Well, we've gotten through half of our crazy February, and now we are wrapping up the last of it in Nassau. We'll be teaching the Bahamas School of Professional Photography Sunday through Wednesday, and will be traveling Thursday to get us back in the office for a full day of appointments for Friday and Saturday.

Certainly no moss gathers here at the studio, but I am anxiously awaiting a little bit of a break. I know teaching in the Bahamas sounds really cool, but it is exhausting teaching and talking for eight hours a day. We'll hardly see anything outside of the conference center. Leaving our Charlie gets harder with each trip too :(

Feel free to leave voicemail or emails, although I am not sure how much time we will have to check them. We'll certainly catch up on Friday!

PS. With the travels, I am a little behind on posting. However, we have some cool events and news to catch up on, including two magazines that we will have articles in. Plus, with weddings rapidly approaching, we have a lot of great invitations and save-the-date cards to post.

Headn' West!

A Little Valentine's Day Fun

One of my girlfriends always picks out the best laugh-out-loud greeting cards ever, which leaves me spending an hour in the card shop trying to find something funny for her too. I usually don't win the funny card challenge, but this year I think I at least stand a chance...

PPO Convention Cover

The Professional Photographers of Ohio released their annual convention issue magazine. As the Ohio Photographers of the Year, we get the honor of having the cover image. This will be Mark's sixth cover and my second. The pressure is certainly on for this year :)

On the Road Again!

So here it is...the ugly February Convention Schedule! Don't think we are whooping it up while we're on the road speaking and teaching. We usually don't get to see anything other than the inside of our hotel and whatever convention center we are in. Even at Bahamas School we'll have no beach time :( Not to mention it is so hard being away from little Charlie.

We will be checking voice mail and e-mail as we can. We will also try to make periodic posts from our travels. Thank you for being understanding.

PS. We were just at the Mid-East Region Convention hosted in Kentucky last weekend and won the Kodak Gallery Award (Stofer Wedding) and the Fuji Masterpiece Award (Weaver Wedding) for the Top Wedding Albums in the Region. I'll have more on that shortly. Congrats to those families!

PPS. The Weaver wedding has a great story behind it. When you read Nikki & Ben's original post, you'll learn that Mark did Nikki's mom's wedding nearly 23 years ago. That makes Nikki our first second generation bride! Pretty cool that Mark is still doing great work...somethings do indeed get better with age :)

Bridal Show Delinquents!

Adding a Little Whimsy

Want to add a little spice to your wedding? I love subtle touches of humor and whimsy, and what better way to add some than with some crazy socks with those been-there-done-that tuxedos. No one sees them unless they want them too...so why not? Pick a pair with your wedding colors and have some fun!

Check two items off the wedding 'to do' list by making them part of your gifts to the wedding party!

Little Miss Matched has a great selection and lots of other fun things too!
