Viva Las Vegas

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

I am very excited to announce that me and Shawn are going to VEGAS! We are going to our very first WPPI convention. WPPI stands for Wedding and Portrait Photographers International. This is a time for professional and aspiring photographers from around the WORLD to get together and shoot, visit educational classes, and see the latest and greatest photography vendors. We will get to see some of the top photographers like Jasmine Star, Tamara Lackey, and many more (too many to name). We won Full Registration Passes from @shootsac on Feb 4th. How exciting huh? And on my Birthday!!!

I just wanted to let you know that we will be out of the loop while preparing for and visiting Vegas! Did I just say that? Yes! Yippee we are really going to Vegas! We will be leaving on Friday the 18th and returning on the 22nd. So much to do and see and so little time. I will share pics along the way…. keep a look out on twitter @pdphotographer – Jenn, @pdfotography - Shawn and on our facebook page for all the updates!

If you are going too, give us a shout out! We would love to meet up and shoot with ya!

A New Year

Monday, January 3rd, 2011

What a way to bring the new year in! We were so tired from the home demolition we started on Friday that we all were fast asleep way before the ball dropped. Replacing floor because of a leaky hot-water heater was not the way we had planned to spend our new year’s eve, but it had to be done!

It was a good experience for us, we learned a few things about ourselves and each other… For instance: I found out that I am a better carpenter than Shawn :0 Sure he can sling a hammer harder than me but that’s not all it takes! I guess growing up with my brother as a carpenter taught me a few tricks.

Starting on our long list of home repairs has really got me in the mood for some remodeling. Like fresh paint in the Kitchen and a new look for our guest bathroom, and finishing the deck around the pool. The list goes on and on, I can not wait to see what this year has in-store for everyone! I will be working hard to complete my 101 in 1001 this year and looking forward to all the new experiences to come.

Happy New Year!

From all of us here at Palmetto Dreams Photography!
