and Mary’s infectious personality and business smarts, these two were made for this job. They compliment each other so perfectly and I was so happy for them when they were asked to speak at WPPI last year!! They rocked it and if you’re going to be in Vegas this year….you BETTER be at “How to Be a Rainmaker” at 9am on Thursday! (….that last line almost sounded like a threat!)
.
So this year Justin and Mary have decided to host a WPPI Shoot Out…… ummmm HELLO! Sign me up!! …… but in true J&M fashion…. this Shoot Out involves a contest (those two love them some contests!). I needed to make a video, post it on my blog and explain to them ALL the reasons why I want to be a part of this shoot out. One problem with this….. I haven’t been able to BREATH out of my nose for 3 days! Yes, it’s gross and disgusting but it’s the truth. I’m dealing with the Cold of all colds this week and whenever I talk, I sound like a man. My voice is low, my eyes are puffy and I look like I have just been hit by a Mack truck! …… So…..I panicked…. and then I got a little creative. Since there was NO way that I was going to be seen in this condition on the internet… maybe I could make my handsome, well spoken husband to do this for me!! After begging and pleading with him….. he said yes.

So J&M, Michael and I think you two are a spectacular couple, incredible business partners and amazing photographers…..however, I think the best thing that I personally can learn from you is to have a giving heart. Sure, you have a ton of sweet camera skills that I wouldn’t mind watching in action but what I admire most about you two is your desire and passion for helping others. I can honestly say that sometimes I struggle with having a desire to always help other people. Your ability to give and give and give says so much about who you are and where your heart is. I would be honored to spend an early morning with you two and 19 other fabulous photographers……..(ps. can Michael tag along and be my bag carrier?!)

Thank you! ps. What little bit you can hear me on the video… I sound like a crazy woman…. I’ve been on dayquil for 3 days….don’t judge.
