Sho just sent me a scan of my photo of her that Deaf Life used for her article in their latest issue. She also apologized for them not even giving me credit. Deaf Life, here's a little known fact - ALWAYS credit the photographer in your magazine when using their photographs. It is nothing but an insult when you don't.

Anyway - the photo came out marvelous! I love shooting Shoshannah, she is so much fun!!! :-)

I'm so proud of Sho!

Here are some clippings I kept meaning to post up on here! I think its obvious I'm DEAF from the photo they used! I'm all about expression. Heh.

From Baton Rouge's The Advocate

I received a cool honor from the Greater Baton Rouge Business Report a few weeks ago. I was selected as one of their 40 Under 40 in this area of Louisiana! It's definitely been a flattering year for me! The Purple Trailblazer campaign, winning it, being in 225 magazine, the local papers, and now this Business Report deal! AWESOME. When it rains, it definitely pours for me!

Again, I do not take anything about my job for granted - I am so appreciative that I love my job, much less HAVE one also! I am flattered that this group of highly esteemed people consider me worthy of this category of people.

I look forward to the dinner event they're having for us on December 3rd! Sarah, my parents, and in laws will be in company with me - we don't get to do that often enough so it'll be nice!

Here's a couple snapshots of the magazine for you to get the idea of what it looks like (and I will also attach the link to the online site so you can read it up close if you haven't yet/if you're even interested!).

Also something cute was done by a good friend of mine, Rebecca Reed, this morning at LSD as well. Our friend, Mandaree, who teaches at the school for the deaf just got engaged the other day (CONGRATS MANDAREE & STEVEN!) and Rebecca/and some other teachers pitched in for a gift certificate for a Tate Tullier Photography session!

Here's what was inside the card given to Mandaree - I just thought it was such creative writing and of course, flattering!

I thought this might brighten your day... the gift of Tate always puts a smile on someone's face - time to return the favor!
This is what the card we gave her said:

Bling! Bling!  You got the ring!
And now there's just one more thing...

You've got the dude, you've got the date,
All that's left is to get shot by Tate!

Wake up early Saturday with minimal fuss,
and enjoy your engagement shoot on us!

Love of love,
(a bunch of us)
