She is a GIRL!!!

With all the new excitement and growing bellies, Sarah's and mine:) my blog has been lacking. Well I feel it is time to break the silence by sharing our baby girl's first of many pictures. Today being my birthday I did what makes me most happy. I met up with our May bride to go over some details as well as catch up on life. Weddings bring so much joy to my life and I look forward to raising a daughter that I will get to walk down an aisle as some lucky photographer captures our smiles.

Our May wedding will be an adventure as Sarah will not be attending. One week after the birth I think her doctor would scream if she knew Sarah was shooting a wedding. So in comes our backup as we shoot at the beautiful Summit Club downtown Fort Wayne.
I hope your week is starting as fun filled as mine!



This is the baby's room just a few days ago. It is now painted so I will update the blog as we continue the decorating.

Matt and Sarah by bobbiandmike.com

We are just bursting at the seams with excitement today! A few weeks back, we had a photo shoot with the amazing Indy photographers Bobbi and Mike. We have been planning this session for months, but finding out that we are pregnant made the session a bit more exciting. I must admit, mostly because Bobbi called me out on her blog, that I was a little bit nervous. Ok, a ton nervous. I totally know how my clients feel the days leading up to their photo shoot. Sarah and I took the session and turned it into a two day mid-week retreat. Sarah and I enjoyed the time together wandering around Indy just being together. It was awesome!

There is a lot more of our photo session with Bobbi and Mike on their website!!! Check them out by going to bobbiandmike.com/blog

Fast Track Photographer

I did it! I finished the book Fast Track Photographer by Dane Sanders. Anyone who knows me knows I have trouble finishing books. I have good intentions of finishing a book when I buy it. I love the thought of ending a long busy day with my feet up reading a book. However this typically ends up leading to falling asleep while reading. I have also tried reading first thing in the morning with a cup of coffee. This too has been unsuccessful because I haven’t figured out a good way to hold a hot mug and hold open a book at the same time. I love both too much!

I have a bookshelf full of great books that came highly recommended. They each have their own bookmarks that stay in near the middle of the book. Today however, I finished Fast Track Photographer. This book is absolutely a must read for a photographer who is considering taking their photography to a business level. I learned through this book that if I want to grow a successful photography business I must learn who I am as a person. Without clear understanding of who I am as a person my photography business would be unfocused and misguided. It was a great book and I know there are a few others on my bookshelf that beg to be finished. I think I might finish up Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi.

Get a copy of this amazing book at Amazon.com and get your photography moving!
