I get a call from my little brother today and after we chat for a few minutes he asks “Hey, did you hear THE NEWS?”. Initially I wondered, who is getting married or who is now expecting a baby. But he quickly said “Carlos Zambrano had his first no-hitter last night which was the first in 36 years for the Cubs!!!” Being that my whole family is made up of die-hard Cubs fans, I naturally said “AWESOME!!!”. I wasn’t able to watch the game, so I hadn’t heard the news. Then I was a bit silent and said quietly….”uhm, what’s a no-hitter?”. Here I thought I knew a good bit about baseball right? His response was “Awe Lis’, are you serious?”. I chuckled, a bit embarrassed, and said “Yes, I am serious”. So, my brother explained and once again I said “AWESOME!!!”. Had to be there, but I must say it was funny 🙂 WAY TO GO CARLOS!!!!


This video pretty much sums up the emotion of an incredible night even though it makes you dizzy watching it.

I had the opportunity to go to David Jay’s Free To Succeed Tour last week in Charlotte and it was amazing! David (DJ) is such a great speaker, has such enthusiasm for wedding photography and is so open to helping other photographers. I learned so much and met some great people. What is even better is that I got the chance to ride to Charlotte with three other local photographers that I can now say are my new friends… Marian Ashley, Jana Candler and Amy Wood. When we got to dinner I met two others and Amanda Eller was one of them. She is the one that took these cool photos in front of the tour bus!!


What a great time and an evening full of very useful information. Thanks DJ!

Also, I must share my love for a new bag made for photographers. GoBee bags are made to hold your memory cards, business cards, phone, and anything else that is small but very much needed. I used this for the first time when I shot a wedding in Chicago last month and it stayed on my hip for 14 hours. Even after all that time, it was super comfortable.


Check them out at GoBee.

Thanks for stopping by.
