Three saxes, no sunshine and a shadow...

Allison chose us a month ago and knew full well she was in the "straggler" category... but we're perfectly okay with that. The more the merrier!

So in rolls Miss Wogan and her mom, Sheri last Friday. I wondered for a minute if the entire Marshalltown High School pep band was gonna follow behind her for a second, as she toted in FIVE musical instruments with her!

Three saxophones, a flute and a trombone crossed the threshold for our viewing pleasure on this day. She assured me that she can play 'em all... so we worked 'em all in. :)

But that wasn't ALL that followed her in the door.

We were also graced with the presence of another job shadow on this day. Budding photographer, Dana Moses made the trek from Iowa City to watch Allison's big day and hopefully pick up a thing or two... and we loved having her along for the ride. Thanks to Allison and Sheri for allowing Dana to be a fly on the wall... and in reality... the extra set of eyes never hurts!

What Dana got to see was what I consider to be a blessing this time of year which is decent temps... and perhaps more importantly, overcast skies.

Much of the full and rich outdoor looks we've been doing for 6 months now have went by the wayside after several hard freezes and lots of WIND and rain. Translation... the outdoor is limited. However... having a thick layer of clouds allowed us to roam where we wanted and we avoided the full sun scenarios that are prevalent nearly everywhere on most days this late in the calendar year.

The result was we got a healthier dose of outdoor than we probably shoulda gotten in November.... which was totally awesome! All I ever want is to be able to give our clients LOTS of choices and to make it very difficult on our decision makers! Good luck, Sheri!

So, in the end, waiting to this point didn't haunt like it could have. Allison let us know what her decision to choose us came down to... and we're glad we didn't have to pull any punches for her! Thanks for your choice A-Dub! ;-)
