Since the NFL playoffs are over and the Super Bowl is still a week away, if you are looking to plan your wedding, plan on stopping by the Vision Quest Entertainment Center in Menomonie tomorrow (Sunday)
We will be there unveiling our new 2007 booth design. Rather than the usual table and frilly lace table skit, we decided create a living room vignette. I'll post pictures tomorrow.
Stop in and say hello and let us know what you think of the new booth.
See you there !
celebrating our lives through beautiful images

Our First Direct Mail Campaign
After an inspiring week in Texas, we are ready to hit the road running with all of the great new ideas we have to help all our clients with their photography needs.
One of the first things we do need to do is let everyone that we are here in the area. So, over the next few weeks, we are going to be mailing out some "New to the Area" postcard to select neighborhoods. Since the bulk of our work is children and family (and weddings) we wanted to target specific areas around us that we know have a bunch of families to let them know we are here when they need fine art photography.
I'll be posting our ads and mailers here on the blog so stop back and check them out. Although these mailings are going to specific neighborhoods, anyone who reads my blog is entitled to the same great rates and coupons.
I always want my loyal blog reads to have access to EVERY promotion we do.
So keep checking over the coming weeks with our new promotions.
God Bless and Good Night

I'm trapped....
I am trapped. We were planning on leaving San Antonio yesterday when we were hit with the "ARTIC BLAST"
There are 23,000 people here without power and people are sleeping in their cars because they can't find hotels. The airports have been closed and all the flights got cancelled. Bummer.... My good friend Brian Woolum made it out on the last flight
The schools are closed - all the restaurants are closed, the roads and airport are closed.
I hope to make it home later today but it doesn't look promising.

An Amazing Teacher
For the past 3 days, Amanda & I have had the privilege of studying under the Master Photographer Steve Kozak. Steve is an amazing and gracious teacher. Never have we been so inspired, so motivated, and encouraged as we have after being with Steve.
On top of the amazing time we had at class, each night, Steve spent his personal time with us and a few other select, intimately sharing with us life passion, his life, and his love.
Thanks Steve for an amazing 3 days !!!!

Why aren't we living here ?
San Antonio is a beautiful town. We had a nice, romantic walk down the Riverwalk and could see all of the wonderful architecture and it's 64 degrees out right now (and it's cold to them !)
Tomorrow after our session, we'll post some pictures from around town.

At Home in San Antonio
We arrived right on time today in San Antonio, TX. When we left Minneapolis, it was 19 degrees out. When we arrived here is was (as we are told) a "cool" 64 degrees. After a light dinner at our hotel (which is complimentary) we took a nice walk down the RiverWalk.
Here are some pictures from our super cool Homewood Suites Hotel.

Check it out at www.BriteIdeaPhotography.com
We had a couple of glitches with all of th new AJAX cool stuff I did only to find out our hosting company doesn't support AJAX. So, I disabled all of that cool stuff and looking for either a workaround or a new hosting company.
Hopefully, I'll have a solution for this in the next day or two.

Great New Music - Jon Shirley
As I was reading my Blogs this morning, DJ keyed me into a great Christian Artist, Jon Shirley. I went over and was blown away by the awesome vocals.
