I know that many of you read my blog through Google Reader, but at the top of my blog I mentioned that there would be contests for those readers that leave comments.  Well surprise — the first one just happened!  I wanted to send a surprise to the person who has commented the most since the start of 2008….drumroll please…

Melli!

Check out her blog from Germany RIGHT HERE, and Melli just send me an e-mail and I am going to send you a $15 gift card to either iTunes or Amazon (you get to pick)!   Thank you so much to all of my "commenters" and keep them coming as more contests happen.  They will not always be quantity, so keep your eyes peeled (or your Google Reader on)…

Nicole was a close 2nd place by ONE COMMENT! 

As many of you know I play a LOT of volleyball — three nights a week right now!  Well, Moday evening was the final night of our Women’s Power league, and we won 1st this session!  We got t-shirts, and decided that Jose Peppers was calling our names to celebrate.  Thanks for the great session ladies, and pardon the point-and-shoot image below!

You all have been SO patient waiting for this wedding — it has been well over a WEEK since I photographed their special day, but I think you will agree that it was worth the wait!  Shannon & Joey were married on February 16th, a cool winter evening.  But the girls were prepared with faux fur jackets to wear outside (since I always go outside for the best lighting)!  Joey is a huge baseball fan, so after the wedding their parents surprised them with an archway of bats to run under!  There were lots of little touches to this wedding that made it unique, so enjoy the images below and the SLIDESHOW HERE!

The mini-bride applying her lipstick — sooo cute!

This moment had a tear in my eye behind the lens…

Did I mention it was a rockin’ party?!
