Acoustic Soup

Perhaps I should have blogged about this earlier....but tonight I have the priviledge of photographing Acoustic Soup to benefit VSA Alabama.  I was asked my a friend and co-worker if I would be willing to donate my services for this cause.  I immediately jumped on this idea!  What a wonderful way for me to expand my portfolio, get my name out there, and participate in an awesome fundraisier.

Directly from their website - VSA Alabama
