PDN Magazine Top Knots 2009
I became a list maker because of my friend Megan. She loves lists. In middle school we would read Seventeen magazine and take all the quizes, jotting down our answers alongside doodles on scraps of notebook paper. We made lists about boys, we wrote a best-selling novela (at least we thought it could become one, one day) and made annual lists of resolutions. Megan instilled in me a love of list making (and color coding) and that has remained with me through all these years. (Seriously, look at my iCal. It’s a spectrum of color coded craziness.)
In the beginning of January I decided to make a list- a 101 in 1001 list. It’s like new year’s resolutions, except you have 2 3/4 years to finish it. And instead of resolutions, they are goals. I think the whole thing has a much more positive vibe and since positivity is something that I am trying to cultivate daily, I figured that this would be a great way to start. Since I made the list, I’ve crossed 18 items off and this week, I got to cross off one more. A big one:
#64. “Have a wedding image featured in print.”
We entered an image in Photo District News‘ Top Knots 2009 Contest and it was chosen as a finalist which means that it was printed in this month’s edition of the magazine. I cannot even express how excited we are to have been given this huge honor. We are so blessed and thrilled and excited and in awe and all, “Break open the bubbly babycakes!” Thank you to Lisa, the bride in the photo for being so ridiculously fun and trusting of us as we explained our idea for this shot. And lastly, to make sure that credit is given where it is deserved, Nate is the one that snapped this photo even though the magazine printed my name instead of our studio name when I submitted it. So everyone tell Nate how much he rocks. ;)
Yeah!! Lisa’s my friend! What a hot bride she was! Congrats on the sweet recognition!
