I have been pretty bad updating my blog….I have no idea where people find the time to do that.  It seems that between work, family, volunteering, there’s barely enough time to sleep. Well, I’m at the airport right now waiting for boarding the plane to Las Vegas, so here is my “free time”.   I finished shooting a beautiful wedding of Kristen and Brett last night, backed up my files at home and packed up to make it to the airport by 6 am. I’m going to the WPPI convention (Wedding and Portrait Professional International), which is the best convention there is in the world. I’m going to see some remarkable work of the industry gurus and pick up a thing or two from their classes.  The schedule is packed with awesome classes and activities including a very special reception to which I got invited as a finalist of Best of Wedding Contest.   Yep, you read that right…two of my images I’ve entered made it to the finals and will be displayed at the convention.  I’ve entered “Cheers!” and “Just a glimpse…” to a humor category.  I love the candid look of both of them.  I just love candids….the true character of the subjects really comes out. Anyway, keep your finger crossed for me….the winners will be announced in a few days. By the way, kudos to those who returned the signed model release forms so fast to me.  You are guys awesome; I wouldn’t be able to enter the images without your help….and of course thanks for those awesome moments that I was able to capture.Time to board….wish me luck!
