Well, I am trying to keep my promise to update at least once every other day, so here is some cool stuff happening in my world:

:: I don’t know if any of you know about Google Alerts, but it is a great little tool that e-mails you every time the Googlebots find a certain phrase on a website. For example, I have one set up for “Stacy Reeves” and “mist Photography,” so every time either of those phrases appear on a website, Google lets me know. It’s a great way to keep track of who is mentioning you or your business on the web.

It’s also a great way to find out things you didn’t know about yourself.. For example, apparently I died at a Shreveport convenience store in 1997. I also rescue Akitas in Kansas City, and I am an at-large member of the Hope Mills Youth Association. Cool, huh?

:: Jason and I received an invitation to see a test screening of 21. I love Kevin Spacey!! I will be sure to let you know if it’s any good

:: The super secret surprise is AAAALAMOOOST RRREEEADDYYYYY..

:: Last night I played in a poker tournament (I was all about poker in college), but the best part was, all the players were wedding photographers!! How cool! I have no idea how many people played total, but I made it to the final table I was totally stoked. I ended up getting taken out by the one and only Jessica Claire, who is a total poker all-star. I finished 7th, but next week I am taking it all!

The “Wedding Poker Stars” tournament happens every Wednesday at 9 PM CST. If any of you wedding photographers out there want to get in on the fun, e-mail me and I will send you the info! It’s an $11 buy-in, and the first three places win. It’s also a great opportunity to network with photogs from around the country!

:: Jason sucks at keeping secrets. You regular readers will know that we opened our Christmas presents to each other about a week before Christmas for no reason other than our own excitement. Well, Jason and I agreed not to exchange gifts for Valentine’s Day, and instead we are just going to do something fun with each other. I told Jason it was his job to make plans and surprise me, and naturally, the surprise lasted about 24 hours before he admitted what his plans were. I’m not going to tell you guys what it is until after we do it and I have photos to show, but I am SO EXCITED!!!

:: I shot an incredible engagement session about two days ago, and I am so wanting to show you guys the photos, but since I don’t have any sessions coming up for awhile, I am holding off until next week.

:: I’m still holding on to these FOUR bridal sessions that are all GORGEOUS beyond belief.. Maybe I can convince some of these brides to let me show you a sneak peek.. Jena, Jacqi, Alex, Courtney? Anyone feeling bold?

That’s it for right now.. Leave me a comment and let me know what YOUR Valentine’s Day plans are!
