Cap Creations Jewelry Rocks!

Cathy from Cap Creations and Favors With Love totally rock for connecting with me via blogging and recently for sending me this beautiful necklace! She knew that the three words I describe my photography are: "Lovely, Elegant, Timeless." I totally didn't expect that she would create a necklace just for me, and I was pretty stoked to get this in the mail last week! As a matter of fact, I wore it proudly for the first time when I attended the Pictage User Group (PUG) meeting in Asheville last week, which by the way, that meeting SO rocked and was very helpful! Chatanooga, TN baby and family lifestyle photographer, Amber Holritz, was there to present, and her work is inspiring! I'm glad that I happened to be in Asheville at the same time she was up there to speak at the PUG meeting :)

Cathy, thank you so much for the beautiful necklace and for the kind words! I love it, and I want to let my brides know how wonderful you are and how beautiful your jewelries are, as well :) Thank you for everything, and I'm glad we connected online!

Brides and Moms, be sure to check out Cathy's sites for 110% awesomeness!!

Pictage User Group (PUG)

It's always fun to network with other photographers, and back in July when I was up in Asheville, NC, I had the chance to attend the Asheville PUG (Pictage User Group) and meet a lot of COOL photographers like Regina Holder, Corey McNabb, Jarrad Lister, and Craig & Lindsey Mahaffey of Sposa Bella Photo.

We have the Jacksonville PUG as well, and it's so fun to get together once a month and either have a business forum or go out on a night shoot :) Earlier this year, the Jacksonville PUG got the chance to get together for a fun night shoot in San Marco area and that was so much fun!

I'm looking forward to going on a road trip with several photogs to New Orleans in November for the Pictage Partner Conference 2009 :) Awesome photogs like Mike Colon, Joe Buissink, Carlos Baez, and the oh-so wonderful Kevin Kubota will be there as well :)

By the way, Pictage is also my third vendor that handles all of my clients' print orders and albums :) It's $99 a month for the membership fee, but I think it's worth it that I don't have to worry about print and album order transactions for every wedding. :)

Here's a couple of pictures from the Asheville PUG:

And here's a couple of pictures from the Jacksonville PUG night shoot earlier this year (I really need a current one!):
