in 30 Strangers-2012

Today is our first Rooftop Concert of the year and I’m so excited. I’m so happy to be one of the founders and organizers and love being involved (and I love being the official photographer for all the concerts). My kids are excited to go, too. I think they just like it because we take treats.

I had a wedding giveaway on Nie Nie’s blog a couple weeks ago and I’m happy to say we selected a winner and I can’t wait to photograph the wedding in September. It’s going to be amazing. As a way to say thanks, we also sent out special offers to everyone that entered but didn’t win the main give-away.

The 30 Strangers project begins in June. Amy and I read every entry and I have to say, it’s nearly impossible to pick only thirty from such a fantastic list of options. So many people had beautiful stories or compelling reasons for us to choose them. But, there’s only 30 spots so we have to say no to so many people. That’s probably the only downside to doing this project. In any case, we selected our thirty and yesterday I sent out email invitations to those that we selected. Now, I just wait to hear back from them to confirm their assigned day and time will work for them. I just sent the emails yesterday and have heard back from over half of them. I can’t wait to start the project again, and reading through those emails got me all excited for all the strangers that will soon become friends.

Have you heard about Alt Design Summit? It’s a blogging conference each year in January held in Salt Lake City. Well, the smart people that cooked up that idea came up with the idea to have some of those Alt presenters teach classes online. So you can enjoy all that bloggy goodness year-round. I’ve been teaching some photography classes and it’s been so much fun. I’m teaching one again this month. You can read about that and all the other classes here. And they’re only 15 bucks!

Are you getting married and looking for authentic wedding photographs that just might move you to happy tears? Let’s talk. I still have some days available this summer and fall. 801.916.6993.

I hope you all have a great weekend. And now, enjoy this picture of twins from a recent family photo session I did in Big Cottonwood Canyon.

WEll, we’ve gotta see more than just this one picture…where are some more? Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. And, good luck with the rooftop concert series.
