Bio Excercise by a Pittsburgh Wedding Photographer

A friend of mine, and fellow photographer, sent me a fun exercise today to help with marketing my Pittsburgh wedding photography business. The point of these simple questions with no punctuation, just words, is to encourage honest answers without thinking too much. I plan to use this information as I draft up some goals for 2011, but I thought it might be fun to share.
