Thank you Nicholas and Brittney for including us in your day. The ceremony was beautiful and the day was perfect.  I'm so glad we were able to get the images downtown.  The reception was held at the Hilton in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Be sure to check back for more images.

Finally ... here are the other photos.  We had the pleasure of seeing Carlos Baez and Bob Davis speak at the conference and they joined in the fun for a photo with us in the KISS booth. (Kiss Wedding Books)  Enjoy ... I know we did!!    We had so much fun and it helped to get my mind off things back home with my Mom that is dealing with cancer.  All I could do is laugh, they were so much fun.  My husband Scott and I really enjoyed the time we had hanging out with them.  If you ever have the opportunity to see them speak; be sure to do it.  You will be glad you did!!

My Mom will be 70 on Monday and we're planning a surprise birthday dinner for her this weekend. 

I just returned from visiting my Mom who has cancer.  We were laying down looking up at the clouds and making different animals and faces from them and she was telling me how she did this when she was little. Now everytime I look at the clouds it will bring me back to that moment.  I just read markstrickland blog, check out his Blog if you get the chance. 

We were able to watch the sunrise coming up from on the plane.  It was so beautiful. I don't remember watching it ever before or when I ever had the oppertunity. It really is something to see if you never took the time to watch it completely. 

I edited down some of the images from the convention that I promised to share with everyone.  Here are the first round of images.

Convention and trade show

Wow, what a whirl wind,  we just returned form our trip to L.A. for the convention.  We had sooo much fun.  I don't know where to begin. 

The workshops and speakers were just amazing.  Not to mention the time we got to spend talking with everyone and hanging out.  Denis Reggie, Bob Davis, David Jay - DJ, Mike Colon, Carlos Baez, Corey McNabb, Sara France, Lauren Hillary, Dane Sanders, Liana Lehman, Travis Broton, Richard Emmanuel and so many others.  With it being a smaller convention it was so much of an opportunity to talk to everyone.  I can't wait until the wedding tomorrow to try some of the new techniques we've learned.  No matter how much knowledge and training you receive; there is always so much more out there to learn. Things are constantly changing and the need for learning never dies. 

We came back on the red eye flight this morning. Time for sleep and then we have a wedding tomorrow.

Check back on Sunday for a peek at some great images while we were there.

Bob, don't forget to email me the images. And everyone else that asked, message me so I get your email address so I can email them to you.  Of course you can pull them off the blog when I post them.  : )

Meet Justin and Julia. We had the pleasure of photographing their wedding and what a great couple. The weather turned out beautiful. The wedding was held at Cedar Beach in Belguim, Wisconsin.  We love doing wedding there.  The staff is excellent to work with and the food is always great!!  Not to mention how beautiful everything is; there are so many places for taking pictures, from the beautful back area, the indoors and of course the beach.  Check back for more images later. 

Meet Everett Beck. He's from West Bend East High School. We had the pleasure of doing his HS Senior pics.  Here are a few of my favoites.
