Finally, after jaw surgery and four weeks of blending all of my meals, I was able to eat real food today! And the darn splint that was attached to my teeth was removed! Hooray. 
 
Now that I can speak much, much better, I am getting excited for our annual trip to Las Vegas for the wedding and portrait photographer conference. We are heading out of town tomorrow and will be back next Thursday. If you are a photographer and are going to WPPI, text us at 218-779-2294! Making new friends is fun :) 
 
Here are a few photos that Kory snapped of me today ::

This is totally unrelated, but I just saw it on Facebook and had to repost it! Paul Salwey, the brother of the groom in the photo below, created this lovely piece of work from Kately and Josh's wedding portraits. I think it's way too funny. Enjoy (and good work, Paul!) ::

Tomorrow we are announcing details for our upcoming workshop, so check back then :)  
 
Also, on another unrelated note, I'm selling a Canon 5D. Email me at shawnanoel@gmail.com or text me at 218-779-2294 if you are interested!
