September 20th 2007 was my very first contact with Rich and ever since we have shared our experiences, thoughts on life, on photography and watched each others families grow all through emails, blogs, twitter and facebook. it has been a wonderful few years and this year we were finally able to meet in Vegas for WPPI. both Rich and Heather are so humble and genuinely kind people who care about others in a way that many of us could learn from. they have such passion for each other, for their little girl Alana and the well being of others around them. it was truly an amazing few days spent together. we laughed, we had incredible conversations that the closet of friends would share and I was even able to have a connection session with them. thank you Rich and Heather for being….well…you. you two are remarkable people and i can’t wait till next time.
