Must be a pro...

So this is the first week I am "officially" at World Hope full time and to say I am tired would be the understatement of the year!! Its been a busy week but with some really really rewarding moments. I mean seriously if you love what you do, its not like working.


Something really really cool happened to me on a personal level today. At the time I played it off like it wasn't a big deal but to be honest I was really stoked. So as I said before last weekend I took some engagement photos of a couple of really good friends of mine. I gave them the pictures this week and they seemed REALLY pleased. They wanted to get some copies and they needed them by today so they went to Walgreen's and ordered them. Then this afternoon the Bride to be gets a phone call saying they had to cancel the order because the photos are obviously professional and they didn't have a consent form. So first off, they thought my work was that of a pro! So the Groom to be asked me if I would go down there and explain, I went to Walgreen's, with my camera in tow, to prove I took the pic. The girl behind the counter couldn't accept it, the manager she called wouldn't accept if, finally (after showing them all 200 or so photos I took) the Store manager approved it and they had to re print them. As I stood there the 10-15 mins they took to print them all three of them stood around saying, how good my photos were, and how I should start a business and oh and on. It was a REALLY cool moment. Plus the engaged couple kept bring it up over and over too. It was really really awesome.


Since they posted them on Facebook and the World Hope Facebook, I'm sure its OK to post a picture here. So here is the picture that caused a heap of commotion at an Orlando Walgreen's this afternoon. Arn't they the most gorgeous couple. Honestly they are more beautiful on the inside if you can believe it.

Quick catch up

So I know I just need to bite the bullet and blog again, the last 5 days or so have been so crazy i couldn't keep my eyes open long enough to blog in the few seconds I have been home each day. A couple of fun things, first I started this blog (or rather the counter on the bottom of the blog) exactly a month ago and in that time have had 250 visitors that's just about the coolest thing I can think of. If you are one of them, feel free to leave a message. You don;t have to have an account or anything.

Secondly Saturday I did probably the very coolest thing you could take pictures of. A PROPOSAL. It was honestly amazing. The Groom to be put literally weeks if not months into planning it, and it was something very special. Maybe if they give me permission Ill put up a couple of the pictures. It was SO much fun, and they are SO made for each other. It was also pretty cool that I am close with both of them so it truly was a gift to me as well.

As far as much else, Ive been trying to work out the new job situation, but might have to change a bit of that up. Details to come as they become more solidly laid plans. Also had a really low key but fun Fourth of July, a post on that later. Oh and I have been to see 2 movies in the last 4 days or so which is crazy because I normally go to the theatres about every 4 months or so. "Grown ups" was HILARIOUS!

Last week I went with my friends, The Browns, to a community event in Bithlo, I got to take a few photos but it rained a lot and I was scared for my camera for most of it. However I did get a couple cool pics of Jake, Jordan and Delaney goofing around.

Jake with his GIANT cotton candy.

Delaney would find a bounce house :)

The evening ended with an errand we had to run way across town, and while there Jordan and I discovered the most amazing "First car" It could be Jordan's soon, its really rad. We call him Charlie.
