I don’t know about you, but I’m excited for 2009! When I think about all the weddings I will have the privilege of shooting, all the places I will go, all the fun new people I will meet, how can it be anything but an exceptional year?

To kick it off, I am going to offer a free photo book to any couple that signs me on as their wedding photographer by February 15! That’s a $500-600 value that will really serve your photos justice! These are professionally printed and bound albums, made of the finest materials, every page hand-designed by yours truly. This offer only lasts through the end of the month, so contact me now to schedule your free consultation. (Update) Details: The free album includes 30 (8.5″x11″) pages, between 30 and 100 or so photos, and your choice of linen or leather cover. Upgrades can be made at their regular price.

In other news, Comments for Community was a huge success! At the time I’m writing this post, I have a total of 40 comments (including some that were left via Facebook and email) which means throughout 2009 I will commit to at least 40 hours of community service. I still don’t know exactly what I will do, but if you have any suggestions, please share

And finally, for anyone visiting from the Minnesota Independent’s Q&A with Craig Minowa of Cloud Cult, here are a few more shots for your enjoyment…
