Trevor ( My husbands brother ) and Amy had a little girl Taylor Reeve on December 4th 2008.

She weighed 8lbs 5oz and was 21 inches long.

She is adorable, you just want to eat her.

Accepted into ISPWP

January 27, 2009

I would try to explain what this means……..but I will let them do the talking!

Quite simply, the best wedding photographers in the world

The ISPWP is a rarity among online wedding photography directories. We’re small. We’re exclusive. We’re picky. We have high standards for membership. We are a worldwide group of top professional wedding photographers who have the experience, talent, and reputation to deliver outstanding wedding photography to our clients.

When you hire an ISPWP photographer, you are hiring with confidence because every member has met our high standards for membership:

Experience
Members must have shot at LEAST 50 weddings as a lead or solo photographer. Many of our members have shot hundreds of weddings. Some of our members are Pulitzer Prize winners and Pulitzer Prize finalists. Some of them serve as teachers or mentors for new photographers. All of them are market leaders and are have been dedicated to their craft for years. Wedding photography is not a field where you want your photographer to be learning on-the-job. When you hire an ISPWP photographer, you know you’re hiring the solid experience of a true professional who can deliver quality results time after time, year after year.

Talent
Members must have their website and online portfolio reviewed and approved by a committee of ISPWP members. We look at representative samples from at least three weddings to get a sense of how a photographer sees, thinks, and captures the events of the whole day. As wedding photographers, we look at wedding pictures every day. Most of us are involved in online communities of photographers so we are exposed to thousands of wedding pictures every year. When a photographer is accepted into the ISPWP, you can be sure they have received a seal of approval from fellow wedding photographers.

Integrity
Members must have no active complaints with the Better Business Bureau or other consumer protection organization. Sometimes experience and talent don’t necessarily mean that someone follows good busines practices and customer service. Every ISPWP member has a stellar record of providing reliable and trustworthy service to their clients.

Professionalism
Members must operate under the strict ISPWP Code of Conduct. This provides protection for both the client and the photographer. It also ensures that ISPWP photographers operate their businesses with accepted industry practices.

References
Members must provide at least 2 client references and 2 photographer references, or have an ISPWP Sponsor. This ensures that all members have the respect and recognition from their peers in the community.

Yippie!
