Hello Everyone!
I have been extremely busy the past two days. I will be returning phone calls and emails before 5:00 this evening! I am sorry it's taking me awhile to get back to everyone. We have had so many good responses from the ad in the State Journal Register that I cannot keep up!
Thanks, and don't hesitate to bother me!

Bill Simmons The Sports Guy
This is an excerpt from my favorite sports columnist article in the new ESPN THE MAG, he's discussing what a horrible summer it has been for sports, this section is about David Beckham.....enjoy, it's funny!
Every five years, people predict soccer could "take off" in America. Every five years, it doesn't happen. Why? Because Americans don't want to watch anything less than the best possible athletes. That's why the USFL and Arena Football failed as TV sports, that's why the CBA doesn't have a TV contract, and that's why ESPN2 doesn't show minor league baseball every night. Pro soccer can't become a major American sport when 99.7% of the quality players play overseas. It's a fact.
So what's my silver lining? That people keep stupidly perpetuating the "every kid grows up playing soccer -- those are the kids who become adults and who might buy tickets" argument. You know what else I did as a kid? I gave myself a Muslim name. I ate my own boogers. I seethed because Tom never caught Jerry. I checked my closet every night to make sure an evil clown wasn't there. I left my baby teeth under my pillow because a fairy gave me money for them. None of these things has any correlation to my life now. The fact remains: Americans will never care that Beckham is playing soccer in a league of half-decent guys, just like English people wouldn't care if they had a mediocre baseball league and the London team signed A-Rod.

Friends!
I think it is so important to have friends! Check out my new friend's website. She is a photographer in Chicago and is AMAZING! She's won several awards and I was honored that she even emailed me back!

I love her name too, I wish I had a cool name!
Also, since I am working full time, there will only be 10 Family portrait sessions available in September and 10 in October. Schedule them now.
Once I book, I recommend that you contact Kimberly Smoot.

I wish I had more time to take everyone's portraits, but I am working 60-80 hour work weeks now and time is crucial. The sooner you book the better!
I am also only taking 10 more Seniors. There are several dates in August available as well as September and even October.
Thank you to all of my clients, you guys are wonderful! I enjoy working with all of you and it is great when you come back. I have done a lot of returning client's photos lately and it is amazing to see how kids grow up so fast!!
