Coming up on a big milestone!

I just realized I’m getting really close to a BIG milestone with the blog… nearly 5000 comments in the life of this blog (which, granted, has taken years, but STILL!). Seems like there should be a contest or a party or something.

SO… for the 5000th commenter, I’m going to give a big box of scrapbooking supplies and a gift card to Two Peas in a Bucket. If you’re local and have had or plan to have a photo session, you’ll also get a free 11×14 from your session. If you don’t scrapbook, then we can apply the value of the products to a photo session and give the box of goodies to someone who will actually want it. So TALK TO ME! :)

In other news, I dropped off  some pictures to clients on Saturday. It’s got to be one of the best parts of my job, watching how happy people are when they get these in their hands. One of the moms could barely talk through her tears as she described how she felt watching the slideshow. Seriously… what better compliment could I get?!Witter_11  Witter_36 Witter_17

Stay tuned for a very important post about a new friend I made recently…

    Great, how am I supposed to know what number you are at now so I can strategically plan my post? I think the contest should have been for the first responder, because I am the first responder. Just kidding.

    Lovely pictures! Jeff and I need to visit San Jose!

    I can relate to the crying-through-the-slideshow sentiment. Curious about your new friend…

    So you don’t know me, but I got a link to your blog from my friend Mindy. Anyway, I check back every now and then because I LOVE your photography and saw Mindy’s family’s shots. I’m dreaming and saving for a time we could have you photograph our family! Anyway, thanks for the glipses of art!

    Visit your blog often-love your photos-some people just have talent to take good pictures! I believe good photos can make great scrapbook pages-wish I had that talent.

    Ha ha ha, love that Meghan….

    Hey Shannon, I am certain this is your 5000th comment. If not, that’s okay too. I will still read your blog and worship you. Oh and that Meghan I was referring to, the Sis Roberts in your ward… yes she’s a gal I went to HS with! Small world that she rubs shoulders with one of my most favorite links ever (that’s you!) She’s a sweet gal, isn’t she? And I told her she needs to get a session with you, so I can Ohh and Ahh over the amazing photos I know you will take.

    So maybe this isn’t the 5000th, but it’s sure to be the longest, right? hee hee.

    I don’t think it would be fair if I won both your contests, but if it happens, it’s out of my hands!

    How do you get such great lighting? Do you have fast lens or good flashes?

    All of your photography is awesome, but those wedding pictures were exquisite. Some of the best I have ever seen.

    Hi Shannon-

    Just saw your blog-all I can say is WOW!!!! I am just in awe of your talent. You have such an amazing talent. I got frames for all of our photos last week and can’t wait to hang them. As the other folks said, I wish you were around when I got married. Those pictures are beyond anything I have EVER seen! I can’t wait to take more photos with you.

    julie, jackson and jay
