I have to admit, I love the Genius feature on iTunes. I can usually get a great playlist going while I edit. But, sometimes, it doesn’t have a list generated for some of my songs and that sorta bums me out. Today, while it’s yuck out, I’m editing photos from my senior session on Monday and I was excited to find more Glee Cast songs up on iTunes for the show that airs tonight. I am addicted to that show. I’m addicted to their songs. They do it right. So, I have a full playlist now! Exciting!

Now, I’m onto a sorta 80’s playlist. Featuring:

YouTube disables a lot of embedding these days. But, anyway, it’s fun to relive my youth through the 80’s bands I grew up with. What are you listening to these days? I’m always looking for fun music to add to my playlists!

Yesterday, we had the privilege of attending the Lot Music Festival, downtown at the Schlafly Taproom, with our Lollipop Smiles business. It was a pretty good crowd, and we had a few people that stopped in to take a few, fun photos! I loved the results from our new Lolli-Snaps option! This is something similar to a photobooth that we’re offering for free to all bride and grooms when they book us for at least an 8-hour minimum wedding coverage. We bring it in to their reception and let the happy couple give their guests something fun to leave behind for them! Or, they can hire us for full-blown Lollipops at their wedding. The cost for them is $650 for two hours of coverage. Be sure to visit the website for details!

And, our big winner of the 2-hour, Lollipop Smiles coverage goes to Abby! WOOT! I met Abby online through Twitter and finally got a chance to meet her and her fella! Abby is a huge dog lover too. So, I’m excited to give them an excuse to have a big party with our Lollipop Smiles! WOOT! Abby, I’ll be in touch! It was a lot of fun to meet our Twitter pals in real life during this event too!

It was tough battling the wind with our backdrop – but we learned a lot to make it better for use outdoors. If you’re planning a reception outdoors, be sure to let us know so we can give you some helpful hints on us bringing this set up into your reception!

Here were shots from the day! If you took a Lolli-Snap at the LOT, you can purchase them online here.

Wanted to share a playlist of what I’m listening to lately:
