Happy Valentine's Day! For a number of lucky ladies, today will also be proposal day! More than 10 years ago when I planned to propose to my then-girlfriend (now she's my wife! ;) ), I really planned to pop the question on Valentine's Day...but I couldn't wait so I did it at Christmas.

However, for those who do get engaged today...we photographers should be prepared. Update your web-site with recent images and do the same for your blog. Be prepared!

Whether you are married or not...be sure to include photography in your Valentine's plans. Give gifts of photos (or cameras / gear...hint-hint...honey...if you see this, I'd like a new Canon 85mm f1.2 L lens, m-kay schnook-ems?) and, if you are out for a nice romantic evening that might include a candle-lit dinner or something like that -- at least have the waiter or waitress take a nice picture of the two of you!

And if you have been married for a number of years...take some time out to look at your wedding photos today.
