Haha I got a really nice bit of news this morning! I did an engagement shoot at christmas time for a couple who got married in NY this past saturday. The bride's dad is a lawyer in NY and their wedding was announced in the 'Style' section of the Sunday Times with one of the pictures I shot of them! Haha it was cropped to shit, but it's so neat to be able to say that I have been published in the times! WOOT!

I'm shooting their wedding reception here this weekend. I can't wait to see them!

Haha here's the online version, not sure if this is how it looks in the actual paper, it usually looks quite a bit different.

Haha no, no lipstick, just naturally red lips I guess!

Yeah he took that at a shoot we did last weekend. I was supposed to be shooting too, but I ended up subbing in for the two models that didn't show (side effects of being the only girl there I guess!)

Nah, I was paid to take the photo, so they don't have to have my name there. The print version still might though, still waiting for that to come to me :)

Aww that would have been so nice, but it was in Sunday's paper so I don't think you'll be able to find them anymore! I was just told about it this morning :( Thanks so much for the offer though!

OMG you guys! Coolest thing ever! Found out tonight (at their reception) that although the online version doesn't have a byline giving credit to me for the photo, the print one does! Ahhh! I'm so amazingly excited to get my hands on one now! I may have to email the times and get them to send me a few copies :) AHHHHH!!!

That's why she's got to get famous enough so they custom make that issue... ;)
